Mothers’ Instinct15
Neighbours Alice and Celine lead seemingly idyllic lives, with manicured lawns, successful husbands, and sons of the same age. However, their friendship is put to the test after a tragic accident sows the seeds of guilt, suspicion, and paranoia. The directorial debut by French cinematographer Benoît Delhomme (The Theory of Everything) is a suspenseful psychological thriller starring Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway.
Reviews
‘Watching Chastain and Hathaway sparking together as equally matched antagonists is a joyous experience. It’s like Bette Davis and Joan Crawford in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? or Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in Heat.’
★★★★
Kevin Maher, The Times
‘Sophisticated, adult thrillers are few and far between, and Mothers’ Instinct fills the void admirably. With vivid, striking imagery and top-notch production design, the film paints an exciting, moreish portrait of psychological intrigue.’
★★★★
Barry Levitt, Empire Magazine

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
