Critics' reviews

"'Mothers' Instinct' doesn't breathe: It hasn't the grandeur of great melodrama, nor the savoir-faire of great noir" 
Guy Lodge: Variety 

"The beats are played as unsubtly as you’d expect within a melodrama that was likely aspiring to the highs of Douglas Sirk, but it crucially understands that sincerity is the key to selling such broad emotion" 
Alistair Ryder: The Film Stage 

"The fatal mistake with this film... is that it takes itself so drearily seriously and seems to think it's offering an incisive critique of mid-20th century patriarchy, or some such" 
Leslie Felperin: The Hollywood Reporter 

"A film that's too shallow for the seriousness of its story" 
David Ehrlich: IndieWire 

"The film awkwardly pitches itself between a somber drama and antic melodrama (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" 
Ross McIndoe: Slant 

"Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain excel in psychodrama that's either ludicrous on purpose or just by accident (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 
Donald Clarke: Irish Times 

"Susan Sontag famously defined camp as 'a seriousness that fails'. Where does that leave failed camp? Exhibit A: the duffness of 'Mothers' Instinct' (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)" 
Tim Robey: Telegraph
