News Mother Mary Anne Hathaway Goes Full Diva in the Trailer for David Lowery’s Mother Mary Not sure you wanna say yes to this dress, Anne By Molly Templeton | Published on December 2, 2025 Screenshot: A24 Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: A24 The director of The Green Knight is now interested in everything red. That’s my initial takeaway from the dramatic, stylish trailer for David Lowery’s Mother Mary, which appears to be the story of a wildly successful pop star returning to someone she once left behind in order to request a dress. There’s something very fairy-tale about this; everyone knows how magical the right dress can be (just ask Cinderella!). But instead, things get very weird, and slightly witchy, and Michaela Coel delivers some wryly threatening lines with crackling anger. Anne Hathaway is the pop star here, but it’s Coel who’s magnetic in the trailer. The synopsis offers little else to go on: Long-buried wounds rise to the surface when iconic pop star Mother Mary (Anne Hathaway) reunites with her estranged best friend and former costume designer Sam Anselm (Michaela Coel) on the eve of her comeback performance. Estranged best friend, eh? That is not exactly the vibe I was getting, but okay. Mother Mary is, as one would expect from Lowery, deeply stylish, with that blood-vibrant red fabric/ghost/presence billowing throughout. It’s a coy trailer, hinting at body horror and the religious leanings of Mother Mary’s name but insisting it is not a ghost story, not a love story, but a communion, a prayer, and a sacrifice, among other things. Whatever it is, it’s gorgeously shot, the performance scenes are striking, and the cast (which also includes Hunter Schafer and FKA Twigs) can’t be beat. The songs are by Jack Antonoff, Charli XCX, and FKA Twigs; the movie is both written and directed by Lowery. Mother Mary doesn’t have a specific release date yet—just “Spring 2026″—so doubtless we’ll peek further behind the curtain in new trailers before it arrives.[end-mark] The post Anne Hathaway Goes Full Diva in the Trailer for David Lowery’s <i>Mother Mary</i> appeared first on Reactor.
