Happy 2026 and here’s to a new year filled with more exciting and intriguing movies. One of the upcoming films I’m looking forward to seeing is "Mother Mary", the latest feature from David Lowery, the director behind the innovative features, "Ain't Them Bodies Saints", "A Ghost Story" and "The Green Knight". This psychological thriller takes place in the outlandish world of pop music.
Anne Hathaway plays Mother Mary, a pop music superstar who is in need of a show-stopping dress for an upcoming tour. Mary approaches Sam (Michaela Coel), a costume designer that she had previously worked with but they hadn't spoken to each other in many years due to a falling out. Sam, who had a very close friendship with Mary, agrees to do this project however the dress will be created under her terms.
Original songs in "Mother Mary" have been provided by musicians, Charli XCX, FKA Twigs (who also makes an appearance in the film) and one of current top producers in pop music today, Jack Antonoff. Hunter Schafer and Kaia Gerber also co-star in the film.
"Mother Mary" will be in US theaters on April 17, 2026
