Superstar life has gone spooky in David Lowery’s latest, MOTHER MARY. The film follows a pop idol (Anne Hathaway) who shows up on her ex-head designer’s (Michaela Coel) doorstep only a couple nights before her comeback performance, desperate for a new dress. While the women battle it out between bolts of fabric, they try to mend (or at least a come to terms with) a lifelong friendship and business partnership that was shredded to ruins over a decade prior. Oh yeah, and there might also be a ghost.
And as a special treat, you can now see this entire episode on video! In glorious color! All the dimensions! Available now on Patreon.
Note: Drive Home from the Drive-in reviews are FULL SPOILERS (with a quick 15-or-so minute spoiler free review at the top of the show). Want to know whether to watch or pass without the spoil?
Verdict: We say, if you caught the trailer and want some sorta spooky popstar vibes in your life, go see it! But go in knowing it’s a drama with horror elements, emphasis on the drama. Some great visuals to be seen, but it’s a very dialogue-heavy film that saves most of its interesting bits for the final twenty minutes.
