The movie is based on the 2018 French movie of the same name (Duelles in French), which itself is an adaptation of the 2012 novel Mothers' Instinct (Derrière la haine) by Barbara Abel.
'Housewives Alice and Celine are best friends and neighbours who seem to have it all. However, when a tragic accident shatters the harmony of their lives, guilt, suspicion and paranoia begin to unravel their sisterly bond.'
It stars Hathaway, Chastain, Josh Charles and Anders Danielsen Lie.
From the trailer, we see that Chastain's character Alice eventually blames Hathaway's Celine for the passing of her son, who fell to his death while in the latter's house.
The two leads are Academy Award winners so this one has plenty of gravitas.
“Annie and I, have a lot of fun in that movie. And it’s a throwback to another…I like to think of it like a little bit of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” Chastain previously told Indiewire.
“Of course, it’s a different kind of film, but it’s this idea of these two actresses coming together and playing this…the tension I think is very interesting. Thank god Annie and I love each other, so it’s a little different than that experience.”
