In an interview, Hathaway revealed the inspiration behind her character, Celine. “My character’s backstory is based on a real story that I read about,” she shared. “It’s about a woman who was put into a ‘twilight state’ to give birth, only to wake up and find that her uterus had been removed, resulting in a hysterectomy. I found that such a violating act, and it really fuels the rage beneath her surface, driving much of her actions in the film.”
Hathaway also spoke on the broader societal themes explored in the film. “We live in a society that often doesn’t respect bodily autonomy, and we must make decisions that offer the most freedom and access to health services for people,” she said. “For me, that means ensuring everyone has access to choice.”
Mother’s Instinct is a suspenseful exploration of love, loss, and betrayal. Don’t miss this thrilling drama, exclusively premiering this December.
