Anne Hathaway emphasizes that performing as Mother Mary involves a deep transformation rather than mere performance. The film requires Hathaway to take on the role of an international pop star, complete with intense choreography and emotional depth. Choreographer Dani Vitale describes the challenge of pushing Hathaway beyond her graceful persona, leading to both fear and intensity on set. Much of the bizarre film focuses on Hathaway and Coel's interactions in a barn, culminating in emotionally charged scenes that left crew members deeply moved, illustrating the project’s unique nature.
"If I got the part, I would have to become material David could craft with. Sounds...scary."
"You can't tell me you're angry; show me...I thought, Oh God, I have to break this person."
"Mother Mary is a very weird movie... most of the film is just Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel hanging out in a barn."
"David's writing is so vivid—we were forced into an intensity... It's very brave work that she's done."
