Mother Mary Ratings & Reviews
FilmWeek (LAist)
Peter Rainer
An arty miss.
Salon.com
Coleman Spilde
No one wants to know exactly what their favorite artist will do next. And by pivoting away from cinema's recent penchant for celebrity commentary to face the stripped-down human truth, "Mother Mary" is a reinvention fit for a superstar.
Filmspotting
Adam Kempenaar
Those scenes where creativity is treated almost like it's supernatural, that's when [Mother Mary] is most arresting.
Mashable
Kristy Puchko
Michaela Coel is transcendent in Mother Mary.
Girl Culture (Substack)
Caroline Siede
For those who can get on its ethereal wavelength, Mother Mary is an incredibly moving evocation of the horrors and joys of finding a true artistic soulmate.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Mother Mary is an impressively labyrinthine sojourn into creation, art, music, and interpersonal connection that eschew gender, sexuality, and societal norms to become something else entirely. Something new. Something mythic.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
If you were a fan of 2010's horror drama Black Swan, you may enjoy this crazy ride. Or you may wish that Mother Mary, to quote Paul McCartney, 83, should have just let this one be.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
It gets some points for Lowery's singular vision, striking images, and game performances, but not as many as it needs to overcome its pretentiousness, its pointlessness, and, worst of all, its ultimate emptiness.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
It's in the final act that Lowery embraces the Catholic and Gothic grandiosity of his own conceit.
Boston Globe
Odie Henderson
Eventually, the film ends with a whimper, not a bang. "These metaphors are exhausting," Mother Mary mutters at one point. Amen to that, sister.
Los Angeles Times
Sergio Burstein
Let's not be mistaken; "Mother Mary" has some absolutely brilliant moments, but almost all of them have to do with visual and technical aspects...[Full review in Spanish]
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The result feels like a Hollywood production done on the cheap, with strenuous efforts to mask its small scale.
The Atlantic
David Sims
It's the furthest thing from the kind of mainstream-pop fame Mary seems to represent, but that dissonance is what makes Lowery's storytelling so unique.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
Her new single might be called "Spooky Action" but despite a few gory moments, there's not much spooky action to be found in the film as a whole.
The Travers Take
Peter Travers
Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel are dynamite in a pop rock opera from director David Lowery that wins points for visuals and suffers from a terminal case of grandiosity
Slate
Dana Stevens
The painfully literal ending struck me as a somewhat risible disappointment, and though I admired the movie's imagination and ambition, I can't say I ever entered wholeheartedly into its story.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
The downer here is that Lowery doesn't seem to know what to do with his stars, performers who are never better than when they're just doing what they do best - you know, acting.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
It works hard to impress us with its slinky weirdness, which isn't the same as simply being weird. Sometimes a dress is just a dress, no matter how hard a filmmaker tries to write it into being.
Fangoria
Kristen Lopez
Mother Mary is David Lowery's most ambitious movie, though it's up for debate about whether it's his best. The beauty, style, and confidence of its heroines, coupled with a script packed with breathtaking dialogue works so well.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
It is another story about the intersection of fame and art, but it's not like one you've seen before, a two-hander that owes as much to 'The Exorcist' as it does to Lady Gaga.
