David Lowery's Mother Mary, starring Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel, opened in select U.S. theaters April 24 and held a London premiere on April 30. Hathaway plays a pop star reunited with her former costume designer Coel as they confront literal and figurative demons in a visually arresting musical. Critics praise Hathaway's and Coel's performances and the film's dazzling visuals while faulting uneven dialogue. The film works as a striking showcase for its leads and director even if the script leaves gaps, making it worth seeing for the performances and imagery.
