A24's Mother Mary (2026) Blew Us Away — Here's Why You Need to See It

What happens when A24 drops a quiet, devastating two-hander against one of the biggest biopics of the year — and wins? That's Mother Mary (2026), directed by David Lowery (The Green Knight, A Ghost Story), and starring Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel in what might just be the most electric pairing we've seen on screen this year. Think Black Swan meets Portrait of a Lady on Fire with the visual DNA of an Eras Tour fever dream. Mother Mary is part pop spectacle, part intimate chamber drama and 100% unapologetically feminine. Anne Hathaway doesn't just return here, she arrives. And Michaela Coel? If you've seen I May Destroy You, you already know what she's capable of; she delivers every bit of that and more! FKA Twigs also shows up in a sequence that had us absolutely floored. Jose (Cupcake) and Mike (WillDaBeast) break down what makes Mother Mary work on multiple levels — the look, the score by Daniel Hart, the queer-coded tension, and what this film is really about underneath all the halos and concert lighting. No spoilers, just pure reaction and film talk. - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVE Email us: [email protected] Be kind. Be open. Be vulnerable.
