Anne Hathaway Goes Full Pop Diva: 5 Big Movies To Stream This Weekend

Summer might be winding down, but the home viewing options are only heating up. If you are planning to spend the next few days glued to your screen, the major platforms are serving up a massive weekend slate. Between Max, Hulu, Prime Video, and Paramount+, there is no shortage of fresh cinema ready to launch right from your remote. Leading the pack is a stylish new feature that sees an Academy Award winner step directly into full-on pop star territory.

What is Mother Mary about?

Taking the prime spot on this weekend's recommended watchlist is *Mother Mary*, a dramatic musical starring Anne Hathaway as a global pop queen named Mary. Facing a critical pivot in her career, the songstress retreats to the quiet English countryside for a week of intense prep ahead of a high-stakes comeback performance. To craft her crucial stage looks, Mary enlists an old associate named Sam, played by Michaela Coel. But the isolated creative retreat does not go smoothly. Sam still carries heavy resentment over uncredited work that originally helped launch Mary to superstardom, not to mention unrequited romantic feelings from their past. Trapped together in rural England, both women end up haunted—both literally and emotionally—by the secrets of their former dynamic.
