Overview

  • A24 has not set a release date for Mother Mary as the film enters its final post-production phase.
  • Charli XCX and Jack Antonoff crafted the original songs after reviewing raw footage, merging music creation with the narrative flow.
  • Hathaway recorded vocals before the tracks were finalized, forcing her to improvise on-screen singing and embrace the vulnerability of a beginner.
  • Principal photography unfolded in a 13th-century barn near Bonn, Germany, where emotionally intense scenes led Lowery to compare the shoot to “Apocalypse Now.”
  • Michaela Coel portrays the fashion designer confidante at the heart of Mother Mary’s crisis, anchoring the film’s exploration of transformation and trust.
