‘Mother Mary’ Unleashes a Troubled Anne Hathaway in Lowery’s Dark, Psychosexual Thriller

This isn’t a ghost story. It isn’t a love story. Mother Mary is a ritual—one whispered like a prayer, or carved out like a sacrifice.

The new trailer teases a feud that refuses to stay buried, a psychological unraveling steeped in blood-warm neon. Imagine Black Swan—if the feathers were swapped for stage lights, latex, and the brutal machinery of pop stardom.

From writer/director David Lowery (The Green Knight, A Ghost Story) comes a “psychosexual pop thriller” that looks ready to peel back the glossy skin of fame. Anne Hathaway stars as the iconic, volatile pop deity Mother Mary, alongside Michaela Coel as Sam Anselm—the estranged best friend and former costume designer dragged back into Mary’s orbit just as she’s poised for a career-resurrecting comeback performance.

Their reunion isn’t healing—it’s haunting. Old wounds fester. Old obsessions flare. And under the glitter, something sharp is waiting.

The cast expands the film’s electric, surreal world with Hunter Schafer, Atheena Frizzell, Kaia Gerber, Jessica Brown Findlay, Alba Baptista, Isaura Barbé-Brown, Sian Clifford, and FKA Twigs.

Original music comes from Jack Antonoff, Charli XCX, and FKA Twigs, ensuring the film’s soundtrack hits as hard as its psychological violence.

Mother Mary arrives in theaters April 2026 from A24—with an exact date still to come.
Stay tuned; the faithful will be rewarded.
