What we know about Mothers' Instinct from the trailer

The trailer released by NEON for the upcoming film starts on a cheery note as it introduces the characters Alice (Jessica Chastain) and Céline (Anne Hathaway). The two next-door neighbors and best friends are shown to have a deep bond, praising each other for being in their lives.

However, it does not take long for the trailer to turn ominous when it is shown that Céline's son Max falls from their balcony and dies. Alice witnessed the incident but was late in helping prevent it, triggering a change in Céline.

The trailer also introduces Alice's husband, Damian (played by Josh Charles), and Céline's husband, Simon (played by Anders Danielsen Lie). The trailer follows a descent into guilt and tension for Alice as she senses that Céline blames her for the death of Max, giving rise to further tension between her and her husband.

The official synopsis of the film reads:

"Alice and Celine live a traditional lifestyle with successful husbands and sons of the same age. Life's perfect harmony is suddenly shattered after a tragic accident. Guilt, suspicion, and paranoia combine to unravel their sisterly bond."

The trailer of Mothers' Instinct hints at powerful performances by Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain as their characters enter into a twisted turn their friendship takes. The 1960s setting looks stunning, complimenting the thrilling storyline that breaks the idea of placid suburbia.
