- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: It would appear that writer/director David Lowery has watched Peter Strickland’s “In Fabric,” a fellow A24 release, one time too many.
- [New] | Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Hooks you with sharp exchanges that feel alive with intensity. But it pulls back when it should go big, leaving the audience waiting for a second coming that never arrives.
- Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: David Lowery has never lacked ambition, and so the North Texas product aims for a great many things with Mother Mary. His latest film means to be a study of a friendship suffocated by one person’s global fame, a body-horror exercise like The Substance, a commentary on pop-music megastardom, a metaphysical meditation on the afterlife, a story about a fashion designer making a dress under a tight deadline, and an evocation of what Taylor Swift’s Eras tour would have looked like to someone tripping balls on bad shrooms.
- Nell Minow @ moviemom.com
- Excerpt: “Mother Mary” gets some points for the singular vision of writer/director David Lowery, striking images, and game performances by the supremely talented Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel, but not as many as it needs to overcome its pretentiousness, its pointlessness, and, worst of all, its ultimate emptiness. It wants so badly to be provocative and artistic but it is just boring.
- Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: David Lowery’s hypnotic ‘Mother Mary‘ is a breakup song filtered through the lens of a ghost story, mounted with spectacular production elements and stitched together with unreal performances from Michaela Cole and Anne Hathaway.
