Mother Mary marks only the first of five leading roles for beloved Oscar-winning star Anne Hathaway set to debut in 2026 – and is perhaps one of her most distinctive roles to date.

The film follows the titular Mother Mary (Hathaway) a world-renowned pop star on the brink of an emotional breakdown, who finds herself drawn back to her estranged ex-friend and fashion designer Sam Anselm (Michaela Coel). What begins as a less-than-friendly reunion quickly dissolves into a tale of trauma, love and resentment, complicated by some potentially mystical forces that may or may not be coming between the duo.

Of course, a pop star is nothing without her music – and as such, Mother Mary is set to an atmospheric, dark pop soundtrack, with many of the film's tracks performed by Hathaway herself.

If you've just watched Mother Mary and have found yourself intoxicated by those tracks – read on for the full rundown.
