Starring Carice van Houten (Melisandre on the HBO television series Game of Thrones) and Marwan Kenzari (Jafar on the 2019 Aladdin), Instinct has its strengths and weaknesses. The film boasts powerful storyline delving into the complexities of human nature, the dynamics of relationships, and intense drama. Despite the fact that it sometimes resorts to heavy-handed symbolism, leaving some aspects feeling underdeveloped, it raises serious questions about identity and desire. The absence of genuinely honest characters, including a lack of trust even in therapists, is what distinguishes this film, elevating it above its minor flaws.
