Behind the Pop-Star Horror: Making of Mother Mary

David Lowery explains how Mother Mary started from a late-night idea inspired by a haunted hotel, casting Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel, training Hathaway for a world-tour–style performance, and collaborating with Charli XCX and Jack Antonoff on the soundtrack; bespoke costumes by Bina Daigeler and Iris van Herpen shape the pop-star visuals, while a practical, fabric-driven Red Woman ghost and stadium shoots fuse fashion, music and personal themes into a distinctive, personal film.

Mother Mary: A Hypnotic Dive Into Fame That Stumbles on Its Mood

Tom Breihan’s review sees Mother Mary as a lush but ponderous arthouse piece anchored by a near-supernatural, memorable dance moment from Hathaway; while the visuals and performances shine, the film’s dense ideas about pop stardom feel overwrought and it mostly plays as a moody two-hander that lacks grounding in real-world music culture, making it a stylish but uneven experience that may reward future rewatchings more than initial viewing.

Pop-Seance on a Barn Stage: Hathaway and Coel Recast Comeback Drama

David Lowery’s Mother Mary is a hypnotic, boundary-blurring pop drama featuring Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel. Set largely in a remote barn, it threads a tense reunion between two former collaborators as they stage a comeback dress and new single, using the spectacle of performance to probe memory, friendship, and art’s healing power. The film blends a seance-like metaphor with stylistic shifts—from Bergman-esque introspection to Fosse-inspired bravura—resulting in a singular meditation on how pop stardom can both wound and redeem.
