Critics' Reviews

It’s a fitting line, too, for Hathaway’s Mother Mary, a pop star draped in deliciously beatific religious iconography, from her ever-present halo headgear to her atmospheric songs. But the metaphor becomes literal when both find themselves haunted by a mysterious red, fabric phantasm which appears to connect them both.
