Long-buried wounds resurface in Mother Mary, a new character-driven drama that follows iconic pop superstar Mother Mary (Anne Hathaway) as she reunites with her estranged best friend and former costume designer, Sam Anselm (Michaela Coel), on the eve of her long-awaited comeback performance. Their reunion sets off an emotional unraveling—one that confronts fame, friendship, and the price of reinvention.
The film features a dynamic ensemble that includes Hunter Schafer, Atheena Frizzell, Kaia Gerber, Jessica Brown Findlay, Alba Baptista, Isaura Barbé-Brown, Sian Clifford, and FKA Twigs.
Mother Mary is written and directed by David Lowery, whose signature storytelling blends intimacy with cinematic scope. Elevating the film’s music landscape, original songs are written and produced by Jack Antonoff and Charli XCX, with additional original music by FKA Twigs.
A pop opera at its core, Mother Mary dives into the complicated forces that shape icons—and the relationships that define them long after the spotlight fades.
