O. Massé-Depass:
"This film just needs actors like Jessica and Anne to convey the complexity of these two roles."
“The relationship between mother and child is the strongest bond between two people. When this connection is severed, it calls into question conventional morality and even sanity. In the closed atmosphere of America in the 1960s, "Maternal Instinct" turns into a terrifying high-pressure powder keg. "
Sebastian Reibo added:
“Viewers could not have wished for a more dynamic on-screen coincidence than what should be the result. Both character roles are surprisingly challenging and showcase the incredible breadth of Jessica and Ann's talent. Olivier has already proven that he understands this twist of the Hitchcockian genre, and we have great faith in his ability to create an exciting thriller. "
