She's a music and culture critic.

Welcome back, Sydney.

What's up, Aisha?

Thanks for having me.

Great to have you both.

So Anne Hathaway plays the titular Mother Mary, a highly theatrical pop star who's at a personal and artistic crossroads.

Just a few days away from a highly anticipated comeback performance, she shows up out of the blue on the doorstep of her former bestie and costume designer, Sam.

who she hasn't spoken to in years.

Sam's played by Michaela Cole.

Now, she wants Sam to design her look for the show, something that will feel like herself.

The reunion resurfaces old wounds and forces them to confront the reasons for their fallout.

And then things get spooky and really weird.

And some would say maybe incomprehensible, but whatever.

There are a few big concert numbers here.

The songs were penned by Jack Antonoff, Charlie XCX.

She's everywhere in the movies lately.

And FKH Wigs, who has a small but notable role here.

David Lowery directed.

He previously made The Green Knight and A Ghost Story.

And Mother Mary is in theaters now.
