Anne Hathaway stars in David Lowery's psychological thriller "Mother Mary," which opened in theaters in April 2026 and began streaming on HBO Max on August 20, 2026. The film follows Mary, a pop star experiencing an emotional breakdown, as she seeks a costume design from her former collaborator Sam Anselm, played by Michaela Coel, before a planned comeback performance. Their interaction primarily takes place in a costuming workshop, with flashbacks and concert sequences interspersed. Lowery, known for "The Green Knight" and "A Ghost Story," incorporates a ghost motif that emerges from Sam's grief and haunts Mary, depicted through visual effects created with suspended fabrics and lighting. The narrative centers on Mary's request for a dress from Sam, revealing a strained professional and personal relationship, and includes flashbacks to Mary's concerts and a ghost that appears after Sam describes a prior haunting experience. Mother Mary is now available for streaming on HBO Max.
