Not every good film is necessarily a good time, and vice versa. On the latter front, see “Mothers’ Instinct,” a 1960s-set suburban psychodrama too silly to secure our belief and too reserved to pass muster as go-for-broke camp — but still compulsive enough, twisty enough and finally berserk enough to keep us hooked through all its tonal and narrative lane-changing. As a pair of model homemakers and next-door neighbors whose close friendship is severely undone by sudden tragedy, even stars Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain don’t always seem to be making entirely the same movie: Hathaway’s sly, high-gloss vamping points to a more brittly amusing one than Chastain’s earnest emotional commitment, turning their characters’ escalating picket-fence battle into a compelling tussle for the soul of the script itself. One wins, and not predictably so.

Thriller about rich suburban housewives whose picture-perfect lives belie past traumas lacks the self-awareness needed to prevent it from being utterly absurd
Here is a hilariously unsubtle and increasingly ridiculous psycho-melodrama of the 1960s American suburbs starring Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain. Some kind of cult status must be on the way, with emote-along midnight screenings, and maybe a new Catfight of the Year Oscar has to be brought in to reward it.
Mothers’ Instinct is written by Sarah Conradt and directed and shot by celebrated cinematographer Benoît Delhomme making his feature debut; it is partly based on the 2012 French-language thriller Derrière la haine (Behind the Hate) by Barbara Abel, and partly on a 2018 Belgian movie adaptation. Hathaway and Chastain play Celine and Alice respectively, two prosperous stay-at-home housewives giving it the full Betty Draper feminine mystique: they are friends with matching picture-perfect lives, each with an adored nine-year-old son,...

Fans of Alias should be very excited about the upcoming spy thriller The Veil, starring Elisabeth Moss.
Moss, who has played many headstrong and intelligent women, is a perfect fit to pick up the mantle dropped by Sydney Bristow.
A trailer for the upcoming FX series reveals, "MI6 Agent Imogen Salter is used in very high-level situations, but she's known to be erratic and unpredictable."
Whether playing Peggy on Mad Men or June Osborne on The Handmaid's Tale, Moss has a knack for stepping into the shoes of erratic, unpredictable, highly competent, intelligent women who often put their male counterparts to shame.

"I've played so many people in my life, I don't know where I belong anymore..." Hulu has revealed the official trailer for a new mystery thriller series titled The Veil, an FX Production arriving for streaming this spring on FX on Hulu. Created and written by Steven Knight. Starring Elisabeth Moss as a double agent of sorts, The Veil is a new spy thriller that explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London. One woman has a secret, the other a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost. In the shadows, the CIA and French Dgse must work together to avert potential disaster. One of them posses a secret which the other needs to expose – they're very vague about any other details beyond this, even in the trailer.

Steven Knight is currently one of the busiest writers in Hollywood. He’s gearing up to start production on a new “Peaky Blinders” movie starring Cillian Murphy while also writing the upcoming “Star Wars: The New Jedi Order,” which is set to see Daisy Ridley reprising her role as Rey.
But before either of those projects bear fruit, fans of Knight’s writing can look forward to his new show “The Veil.” The FX on Hulu limited series stars Elisabeth Moss as a spy who finds herself caught up in a web of secrets in a globe-trotting espionage series.

If you haven’t taken the leap to bundle Disney+ and Hulu, it might be time. Streaming is only getting more expensive and competitive, and the enticing bundle (which also includes ESPN) might be a version of cable TV, but it’s also just cost efficient. Disney+ and Hulu are so intertwined that their monthly listing updates come in the same email — and as such, we decided to compile them here for you in the same list.
Whether you have Disney+ or Hulu, or both (and the IndieWire staff has weighed on our favorites), each has its benefits. Disney has the family-friendly titles, the Star Wars and Marvel (new episodes of “The Bad Batch” and “X-Men: 97” continue through April), while Hulu is the place to catch FX originals and network episodes. Both streamers have the rights to distribute National Geographic titles, which are well worth exploring along with the rest of the library.

The host of The Traitors, Alan Cumming, admits to being a terrible secret keeper, even revealing major plot twists in previous shows. Despite Cumming's tendency to blurt out secrets, the surprise death of a character on The Good Wife was not spoiled before the episode aired. Cumming has learned his lesson and is now more conscious of keeping secrets, especially due to the pressure and attention on him.
Keeping secrets can be tricky, especially when it's a significant plot twist in a big-time TV show. In a world where the creators of serialized TV are constantly pressured to deliver surprising new events and plot points that will keep an audience on the edge of its seat and get them talking, keeping the stories secret is a major undertaking.

Nearly four years have gone by since it was announced that Treehouse Pictures was developing a remake of the 1991 Christina Applegate cult classic Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead (watch it Here) that would be directed by Bille Woodruff (Beauty Shop and the Honey quadrilogy) from a screenplay by Chuck Hayward (Dear White People). All that was revealed about the project at the time was that it would be “a present-day retelling centered on a black family.” Then that’s the last we heard about it. Apparently it made its way through production while flying under the radar, though, because Film Ratings has revealed that the remake has already received its rating from the Motion Picture Association ratings board… and it’s a surprising one. While the original film was rated PG-13, the remake has earned an R rating for “teen drug use, language and some sexual references.”

This review was originally posted during TIFF 2023
Plot: After attending a high school reunion, a woman (Jessica Chastain) is followed home by a man (Peter Sarsgaard) with whom she has a history. Initially upset and thinking he’s a stalker, she learns that he has dementia and that if they have a history together, he can’t remember it.
Review: Michel Franco is a director whose work has grown steadily in stature over the last few years. I became aware of him after watching his class warfare drama New Order in 2020 and then his dark 2021 Tim Roth drama, Sundown. Both of those films were grim, and one might assume Memory, which deals with early onset dementia, sexual assault, and alcoholism, might be the same. While heavy, Franco’s made a profoundly empathetic and unlikely love story brilliantly acted by stars Jessica Chastain and Peter Sarsgaard.

Mother’s Instinct trailer: Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain thriller is a remake of 2018 Belgian film
Mothers’ Instinct, a remake of the 2018 Belgian film Duelles, went into production back in May of 2022, with Academy Award winners Anne Hathaway (Les Misérables) and Jessica Chastain (The Eyes of Tammy Faye) – who also happen to be close friends in their personal lives – in the lead roles. Once filming had wrapped, Hathaway revealed that her role in the film was the hardest she had ever played, as it tapped into her own worst fear. Unfortunately, a release date for Mothers’ Instinct still hasn’t been announced, but that information must be coming down the line soon, because Studiocanal UK has gone ahead and released a trailer for the film. You can check that out in the embed above, and a newly unveiled poster can be seen at the bottom of this article.

Most of us can agree that TV shows thrive on their romantic storylines, but over the years love triangles have increasingly taken over TV’s romantic storylines and divided fans.
Iconic love triangles have become a commonly used trope to hook viewers in. There is nothing like declaring who the heroine should be with and having to stick with them through the rollercoaster of intense declarations of love and breakups. But despite how annoying and cliché love triangles can be, they lead to some of the best TV moments. So, naturally we decided to take a look at TV’s most infuriating love triangles.

When Robin Williams filmed Dead Poets Society in 1988, he was working with a cast of young actors, most of whom were unknowns at the time — but several of them, including Ethan Hawke, Josh Charles, and Robert Sean Leonard, went on to become stars in their own right. Playing the teacher to the young actors’ students, Williams spent a lot of time with them on the set. At the time the film was released, Williams complimented director Peter Weir casting choices, noting that he became friends with many of his young co-stars over the course of the shoot.

Michel Franco’s particular brand of austere fatalism often hinges on the abrupt punishment of his characters. The Mexican shock auteur’s latest, Memory, certainly begins as if it’s setting audiences up for a similar sucker punch. Sitting sullenly by her lonesome at her high school reunion, Sylvia (Jessica Chastain), a social worker and single mother, is approached by Saul (Peter Sarsgaard), who had been eyeing her intently from across the room. At this, Sylvia hastily gets up and leaves, only for Saul to follow her all the way to her home. It’s a journey that Franco’s camera tracks in an unsettlingly placid manner. With little-to-no knowledge of who these two people are, we await the worst to happen.
When Sylvia wakes up the next morning to find Saul outside her Sunset Park apartment in a confused haze after sleeping on the rain-soaked sidewalk, Memory begins to...

Ketchup Entertainment has released the first trailer for Michel Franco’s Memory, a gut-wrenching drama starring Jessica Chastain and Peter Sarsgaard. If you’ve dealt with dementia in your own family, it certainly hits home.
Jessica Chastain stars as Sylvia, a social worker whose simple and structured life is “blown open when Saul (Peter Sarsgaard) follows her home from their high school reunion. Their surprise encounter will profoundly impact both of them as they open the door to the past.” Although the trailer for Memory is rather heavy at times, dealing with early-onset dementia, sexual assault, and alcoholism, it has all the makings of an excellent drama, with brilliant performances by the two leads.

Jessica Chastain is a caretaker with demons in Michel Franco’s “Memory,” the most touching and sensitive film in the career of the director of apocalyptic nightmares like “New Order” and the school bullying revenge drama “After Lucia.”
Chastain stars as Sylvia, a decade-sober alcoholic and social worker now taking care of Saul, a former high-school classmate played by Peter Sarsgaard, under strange circumstances. Sarsgaard won the Volpi Cup (the equivalent of Best Actor) at the Venice Film Festival for his performance as a man rattled by dementia, who follows Sylvia home from a class reunion. They’re across boroughs in New York City, but form an unlikely spark around their traumas, past and present. Sylvia lives with her daughter, played by Brooke Timber, and not far from a nosy but caring sister, played by Merritt Wever, but is chained to awful memories revolving around her mother, played by “Suspiria” icon Jessica Harper.

Jessica Chastain plays a social worker and single mother whose structured life is thrown into chaos when a young man dealing with dementia, played by Peter Sarsgaard, follows her home from their high school reunion in the trailer for Memory, which dropped Tuesday.
Michel Franco’s austere family drama about trauma and connection has Chastain playing Sylvia. Her regimented days at first revolve around her daughter, her job and her AA meetings, but are disrupted when the surprise encounter with Saul (Sarsgaard) opens a door to past memories and childhood experiences that surface like raw nerves.
“Why did you follow me home from the party? Or do you only remember when it’s convenient,” an irritated Sylvia asks Saul at one point in the trailer, only to be frustratingly told he doesn’t remember.

The actors are set to vote on the tentative agreement with the studios after the SAG-AFTRA national board approved the deal.
However, National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland said that the board only approved the deal by 86%, not a unanimous vote.
“This has been made possible by the membership’s phenomenal solidarity and support for their negotiating committee and we’re exceedingly grateful for all of the support from the entertainment industry unions who have rallied behind us throughout this strike,” he said.
Voting will begin on Tuesday, according to Crabtree-Ireland, and will end in the first week of December.
It comes as SAG-AFTRA’s press conference, led by President Fran Drescher and Crabtree-Ireland, to reveal some details of the proposals was delayed by around 90 minutes.
It follows a similar process to the WGA, which saw 99% of WGA members vote for their own three-year deal.
