Anne Hathaway keeps expanding Prime Video’s movie collection as the actress’ other highly anticipated project has finally landed on the streaming platform.

Following the official release of the brand new romcom The Idea of You starring Hathaway as a single mother falling in love with the world’s hottest boy band leader, a psychological thriller Mothers’ Instinct may have all chances to prove how versatile Hathaway’s acting path can be.

While all Prime Video subscribers can now easily enjoy The Idea of You’s heart-warming and appealing atmosphere, Mothers’ Instinct is an option for only a selected range of users.

Based on Barbara Abel’s 2012 novel of the same name, Mothers’ Instinct also stars Jessica Chastain in one of the leading roles and follows two next-door neighbors and best friends Céline and Alice living a comfortable suburban life and raising sons of the same age sometime in the 1960s.

When one of their kids dies in an accident, both mothers start going crazy as they now suspect each other of malicious intentions.

Upon its release back in March, Mothers’ Instinct was received relatively well by the critics, ending up with an average score of 55% on Rotten Tomatoes. Throughout the movie’s whole run, the storyline might in fact make the viewer go nuts alongside the main characters as the plot twists take turns teasing all the possibilities for the further events to go in radically different directions.

Despite all the intrigue that the movie tries to hold all along, Mothers’ Instinct was still significantly criticized for its ending’s bluntness that eventually makes all truly compelling elements from the opening scenes sink into oblivion.
