"It takes actors of Jessica and Anne's caliber to communicate the intricacy of these two role," Masset-Depasse said, adding: "The relationship between a mother and child is the most powerful connection between two human beings. When this bond is severed, it calls into question conventional morality and even sanity. In the behind-closed-doors atmosphere of 1960's America, 'Mothers' Instinct' becomes a terrifying, high-pressure powder keg."
