The Girlfriend on Netflix
The Girlfriend on Netflix – Laura’s idyllic life is shattered when her son’s new girlfriend seems suspicious.
Determined to protect him, Laura’s actions spiral out of control, raising the question: Is she justifiably cautious or consumed by paranoia?
When Laura’s young and handsome son brings home his attractive girlfriend to meet his family Laura doesn’t approve because she is deeply apprehensive of the girl’s intentions.
The young couple’s togetherness puts her off and she covertly digs into her background.
As she discovers the girlfriend’s mysterious behavior during the next few days her hostility increases.
This is noticed both by father and son who think that she is insecure of her position in the house.
Storyline for The Girlfriend on Netflix
Laura Sanderson (Robin Wright) is running around her palatial home, making calls about the art galleries she owns.
She hears a noise, and is relieved to find out it’s the cat. While swimming in her pool, she is surprised by her son Daniel (Laurie Davidson).
While they sit in the sauna, he tells her that he’s got a new girlfriend named Cherry Laine (House of The Dragon star Olivia Cooke), and he wants her to meet Laura and his dad Howard (Waleed Zuaiter).
When Cherry comes over with Daniel, she makes an immediate impression, but not a good one on Laura.
Cherry’s answers to some of Laura’s probing questions are suspicious.
Then Laura finds out that Cherry has encouraged Daniel to change what he’s concentrating on as a medical resident.
After she “accidentally” pours hot gravy in Cherry’s lap and then checks on her in the bathroom, Laura sees one of her bracelets in Cherry’s purse.
The next day, the cat is missing.
This sends Laura’s suspicion into overdrive, as she tells her best friend Isabella (Tanya Moodie), which only gets worse when Cherry and Daniel leave a big gallery opening early.
It gets to the point where Laura actually goes to the estate agent where Cherry said she worked, only to see Cherry punch another man square in the face.
