What is The Girlfriend about?
Laura Sanderson (Robin Wright) has a successful life and a close relationship with her son, Daniel (Laurie Davidson). When Daniel introduces his new girlfriend, Cherry (Olivia Cooke), Laura becomes convinced Cherry is not what she seems. The suspense rests on two competing possibilities: Cherry may be manipulating Daniel, or Laura may be misreading the situation.
