On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 69% of 206 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.5/10. The website's consensus reads: "Anne Hathaway acquits herself well as a believable pop star in Mother Mary, a modish psychodrama that can be frustratingly obtuse but has style to spare." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 58 out of 100, based on 37 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews. David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film an A− and wrote, "It's all rather vague and uncertain, like the contours of a rotting old friendship; the movie's surfaces are as simple as the lyrics of a pop song, and its depths as rich and…

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Mother Mary and loved it. It was wildly advertised as a different movie, but I still loved this one. I also think it would make an interesting stage play.
positive · AI labelView post →My idea of going to church on Sunday is watching MOTHER MARY for a second time.
positive · AI labelView post →Mother Mary franksfilmreview.com/2026/04/23/m... Classified as an art film, Mother Mary, directed by David Lowery, weaves together complex emotions and quiet moments. Like many films in this genre, it relies more on mood, atmosphere, and subtext than on straightforward plot developments...
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Mother Mary tonight 📽️🩸 (IT'S NOW ON HBO) Overall, I enjoyed it. It's weird & trying to deal w some really deep thoughts while also being a mini musical and a little spooky. Ambitious & creative as hell so bonus points for that, FKA Twigs, & strong performances. Definitely worth a watch.

I would often would be like, 'Imagine Taylor Swift in ten or 15 years - that's sort of who this character could be.’” www.empireonline.com/movies/news/...

neutral · AI labelView post →I still can't believe how badly A24 botched the release of Mother Mary in the UK, to the point where a major movie with Anne Hathaway had virtually no advertising and didn't even play in many places. 19 screens in my town, and we didn't get it at all. And we even get Hong Kong titles occasionally.
negative · AI labelView post →Saw Mother Mary with the kiddos this evening, it was different, enjoyed it. This is the water tower across the street from the movie theater.
positive · AI labelView post →walking out of MOTHER MARY I saw two young teen girls sitting next to the dad they clearly dragged to the movie and he was standing up in utter disbelief at what he’d just seen. I was once those teens and that dad was once my parents and I think that’s lovely
positive · AI labelView post →3 notes about Mother Mary: 1. the monologues were incredible 2. Michaela Coel is absolutely breathtaking 3. the movie would make an even better stage play

neutral · AI labelView post →Anne Hathaway’s character in the upcoming A24 film "Mother Mary" has been described as a hybrid of Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift. The film follows the relationship of a glamorous pop star and a fashion designer.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just started. watching MOTHER MARY and yes, Anne Hathaway is great, but if Michaela Coel doesn't get a nomination for this, we riot. She's mesmerizing. #filmsky #NowWatching

neutral · AI labelView post →Man. Mother Mary is so completely my shit. Might be my film of the year so far.
positive · AI labelView post →I never thought I would say that I own Anne Hathaway's first album, but now I do. The double vinyl set from the movie MOTHER MARY is stunning. Been listening to this on loop.
positive · AI labelView post →I'm not mad that "Digger" is getting its fair share of people who see something great in it, amid all the mess and a ton of other people no being onboard. I wish we'd do that for a movie like "Mother Mary" too though.
positive · AI labelView post →The trailer for the new film from the director of The Green Knight, Mother Mary, is out. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY FUCK, it looks so fucking bonkers and the typical A24 film, but for the first time in a while for me, absolutely enticing.

neutral · AI labelView post →✨ NEW PROJECT✨ y’all I’m going feral waiting for the Mother Mary movie, I hope it’s SO GOOD. The costume designs in it are killing me, if the movie is what I hope I’ll probably end up doing more than one. But for now I couldn’t resist this one! I have the supplies & will be starting on it this week!
neutral · AI labelView post →Mother Mary….10/10….15/10 I haven’t felt this way after a movie since the Substance, immediately has become a load bearing influence in my mind
positive · AI labelView post →When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me; out now in the UK and USA, David Lowery's sinister drama about pop performance aims to blow minds in the manner of Black Swan or Vox Lux. One wild ride with Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel. 4 out of 5 film-authority.com/2026/04/25/m...
neutral · AI labelView post →Wow my film school grad wife did NOT like it when I told her the trailer for A24’s Mother Mary was “good but basically the plot of KPop Demon Hunters.”

neutral · AI labelView post →“Coel dominates the screen, keeping all our senses at attention; though she has been in films before, Mother Mary feels like her grand entrance.” This is exactly right, the magic is that in this extravagant melodrama centering on a pop star played by Hathaway, Coel gets to completely own the movie
positive · AI labelView post →Michaela Coel’s character poster for David Lowery’s ‘Mother Mary.’ Coel stars alongside Anne Hathaway and Hunter Schafer. The film follows a fictional musician and her relationship with a fashion designer.

neutral · AI labelView post →Anne Hathaway’s pop star turn in MOTHER MARY is absolutely mesmerizing… too bad the movie itself errs on the side of cerebral and (gulp) boring. My review in @latimes.com www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
negative · AI labelView post →MOTHER MARY (2026, theatrical, #film) A pathologically sincere psychological horror two-hander where a Gaga-type pop hyperstar comes crawling back to the woman who helped launch her career. Queer, gory, bizarre, visually luscious, and, again: sincere. Performances are heightened and 100% blowout.

neutral · AI labelView post →I get why people aren’t so hot on Mother Mary, it’s not the movie that the trailers sell, but the movie that is there really did it for me.
positive · AI labelView post →I watched Mother Mary last weekend and absolutely loved ittt Mary and the red fabric are some of the most compelling images of the movie for me. For my sketchbook journal I wanted to try to capture that sense of otherworldly beauty #watercolor #fanart #mothermary
