Anne Hathaway’s New Flick: Pop Diva Meets Psycho (and It's a Whole Mood)

Let’s break this down, shall we? Mother Mary is apparently the cinematic equivalent of a perfume ad on a sugar rush. Our fave mess, Anne Hathaway, takes the stage as a supposedly troubled pop star who’s apparently on a mission to find a dress for her big comeback. Picture this: a mashup of Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and Madonna but somehow landing more in the hot mess category than the goddess realm. Mary, brought to life by Hathaway, parades around with a halo while belting out cringeworthy tunes like Holy Spirit (yes, seriously), surrounded by dancers who look like they just stumbled off a reality show set. She’s back at her English ex-designer’s pad, played by the always fabulous Michaela Coel, who might be secretly plotting her revenge right there. But hold your applause—this whole spectacle feels like a colossal missed opportunity. With a touch of subtlety, it could’ve been a vibe. Instead, we’re left feeling like we just huffed too much of that wacky perfume. So, a generous two out of five stars for whatever this is. Good luck with that!
