Based on the 2017 novel by Michelle Frances of the same name, “The Girlfriend” stars Robin Wright as a successful mom who grows increasingly suspicious of her son’s new girlfriend, played by Cooke. Is this girl hiding something or not?
Here’s an official trailer for “The Girlfriend,” courtesy of Prime Video:
Based on Michelle Frances’ novel of the same name, The Girlfriend follows Laura (Wright), a woman who seemingly has it all: a glittering career, a loving husband, and her precious son, Daniel. Her perfect life begins to unravel when Daniel brings home Cherry (Cooke), a girlfriend who changes everything. After a tense introduction, Laura becomes convinced Cherry is hiding something. Is she a manipulative social climber, or is Laura just paranoid? The truth is a matter of perspective.
