Anne Hathaway’s “stylish” psychological thriller Eileen is coming to Netflix next month on 4 October.
The 2023 film *Eileen* features Thomasin McKenzie as the main character, a young woman working as a prison secretary in Massachusetts in 1964.
Eileen develops a close friendship with Rebecca, a new coworker, but their bond is severely challenged when Rebecca shares a disturbing secret.

The film stars Shea Whigham, Marin Ireland, and Owen Teague, with William Oldroyd directing.
I first heard about this movie when it showed at Sundance in 2023. Everyone who reviewed it seemed to like it, but honestly, it didn’t really catch on with audiences and quickly faded away. It’s a shame, because it seemed promising at first.
The movie *Eileen* has an 81% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics agree that Anne Hathaway and Thomasin McKenzie have great chemistry, and the film is a clever and suspenseful adaptation of its original story, focusing on themes of obsession.
According to a review in *The AV Club*, the film *Eileen* is a fast-paced and visually striking movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end, culminating in a surprising conclusion.
The *Chicago Reader* called the film a “triumphant and rousing directorial success” from Oldroyd, and *Breakfast All Day* praised it as stylish, intense, and sexy.
According to the *San Jose Mercury News*, the movie *Eileen* delivers a major twist about two-thirds of the way through that, surprisingly, isn’t flashy or over-the-top – and it’s effective. The reviewer notes that this twist, like almost everything else in the film, works well within the context of this crazy and unpredictable thriller.
According to *The Washington Post*, the film is a darkly funny and unsettling experience, powerfully enhanced by a captivating lead performance.
The new movie *Eileen* comes to Netflix on October 4th. But if you’re already a fan of Anne Hathaway, you can enjoy several of her other popular films on Netflix right now.
Her most critically acclaimed film is *Dark Waters*, based on the true story of lawyer Robert Bilott’s fight against DuPont, a chemical company responsible for polluting the water supply.
You can currently watch the 2019 thriller for free on BBC iPlayer. If you prefer, it’s also available to rent on BFI Player, Rakuten TV, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV+.
Eileen comes to Netflix on 4 October.
