Starring Academy Award winners Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway, Mothers’ Instinct is an unnerving psychological thriller about two best friends and neighbours, Alice and Céline, whose perfect lives in ‘60s suburbia are shattered by a tragic accident involving one of their children.

Marking the directorial debut of acclaimed cinematographer Benoit Delhomme, we follow Alice and Céline as their familial bonds are gradually undermined by guilt and paranoia and a gripping battle of wills develops, revealing the darker side of maternal love.

Teenager Chloe has never been close with her Nan Peg but when she gets diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and moves into the family home, Chloe’s forced to become her stay-at-home carer overnight. Chloe’s Mum forces her to join a local support group where she meets Sam who helps her realise how much things are soon about to change for her Nan. Chloe confronts Peg – what does she really want to do before she forgets? Chloe comes up with a list and decides to make Peg’s summer unforgettable.

In this sublime, Hitchcockian noir thriller from Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, The Handmaiden), a detective gets a little too close to the murder he’s trying to solve.

Busan Detective Hae-joon (Park Hae-il) is happily married, although work means spending too much time apart from his wife. When a climber’s body is found, suspicious photos on his phone lead to a murder investigation, and Hae-joon to the man’s young wife, Seo-rae (an entrancing Teng Wei) and a stakeout of her home. But even as her alibi clears her, Hae-joon finds himself unable to end his surveillance. Is this his detective’s instinct, or something more?

His questioning of Seo-rae at the police station reveals an evident chemistry between them, but it’s unclear whether she is genuine in her behaviour or cleverly manipulating the detective.

Director Park has crafted a mystery plotted with virtuoso aplomb – one breathless, twisting story-turn after another. Every shot is marked by its boldness and visual beauty, while the intricacy of the details on display harmonises with the ingeniously crafted plot. And at its centre are the mesmeric performances of Teng Wei and Park Hae-il.

Decision to Leave finds director Park working at the dizzying peak of his powers.
