Tom's Guide Verdict: 'Mother Mary'
- Rating: ★★★½ stars
- Verdict: "Mother Mary" bills itself as a psychological thriller, but it's more accurately a romance drama. Our jilted lovers are Anne Hathaway as the titular pop star Mother Mary and Sam (Michaela Coel), a fashion designer whose past with Mary is clouded by emotion. They're incredible, as is the original soundtrack, but the actual thriller at the movie's core fails to satisfy.
- Where to watch: See "Mother Mary" in theaters now
I almost wish I hadn't seen the trailer for "Mother Mary" before I watched it. This movie bills itself as "Not a ghost story," and the trailer gives psychological thriller vibes. As one Letterboxd user eloquently put it, this movie is "Black Swan for people who listen to bjork [sic]."
