Jessica Lange, Academy Award® winner (Tootsie, Best Supporting Actress, 1982; Blue Sky, Best Actress,1994), and Gwyneth Paltrow star in this intricate, intense thriller about a young bride who becomes the emotional pawn of her controlling mother-in-law. Without family of her own, Helen is initially charmed by her impressive in-law and the sprawling estate where she lives. But behind the storybook scene lie dangerous secrets and dark motives. With the chilling undertones of Rosemary's Baby, Hush is a nightmarish lullaby of a maternal love that leads into madness.

Critics Consensus: A ridiculous but wholly predictable potboiler with performances ranging from comatose to hysterical.

Reviews

Tri-City Herald

Gary Wolcott

Lange is simply an awesome actress and has so much fun in this role, it makes Hush's drab story worth seeing.

The brand names seem trustworthy: Jessica Lange plays the deranged matriarch, Gwyneth Paltrow the pregnant bride. Both are fine actors, but they are stuck in a campy thriller that plays like a Lamaze-class remake of Mommie Dearest.

Hush is recycled junk - campy fun at times but total trash.

The screenplay, by director Jonathan Darby and Jane Rusconi, might have prompted Lange to fly way over the top. Thankfully, she reins in her performance sufficiently to save the melodrama from becoming just another Whatever Happended To Baby Jane? lampoon.

Hush is gussied up by its classy distaff cast members, but remains trashy all the same.
