\u2018Hamnet\u2019 (PVOD)<\/p>\n

HAMNET – Official Trailer [HD] – Only In Theaters This Thanksgiving – YouTube
\n\"HAMNET<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cHamnet\u201d star Jessie Buckley is the clear frontrunner for Best Actress at this year\u2019s Oscars, and should she be awarded the honor, it will be richly deserved. This period drama from director Chlo\u00e9 Zhao (already an Oscar darling for her movie \u201cNomadland\u201d) is one of the most emotionally charged movies I\u2019ve ever seen, and Buckley is at the very center of the tragedy.<\/p>\n

Based on Maggie O\u2019Farrell\u2019s novel of the same name, \u201cHamnet\u201d tells the story of the eponymous character, the son of William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) and wife, Agnes (Buckley). When the bubonic plague spreads through London, Hamnet falls gravely ill, leaving Agnes devastated. This drama is a remarkable tale of grief and parental love. It\u2019s worth watching for the stunning finale alone, which won\u2019t leave a dry eye in your house.<\/p>\n

Watch on Amazon (buy\/rent)<\/a> from February 3<\/p>\n

\u2018The Housemaid\u2019 (PVOD)<\/p>\n

The Housemaid (2025) Official Trailer \u2013 Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, Brandon Sklenar – YouTube
\n\"The<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Housemaid\u201d was one of 2025\u2019s most pleasant surprises. A wickedly entertaining psychological thriller from director Paul Feig, it\u2019s based on the best-selling novel by Fredia McFadden. Starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, it\u2019s packing some excellent twists and great suspense, just don\u2019t think too hard about the illogical ending. Sure, you could nitpick, but \u201cThe Housemaid\u201d is a lot more fun when you just go with it.<\/p>\n

Millie Calloway (Sweeney) is a young woman trying to escape her troubled past. Hired to work as a live-in maid by an affluent housewife, Nina (Seyfried). Things start well, but Nina\u2019s erratic behaviour leaves Millie reeling, and her growing bond with dashing husband Andrew (Brandon Sklenar) only adds fuel to the fire. But everybody is hiding dark secrets in this household, and when they tumble out, the situation becomes increasingly unpredictable.<\/p>\n

\u2018Marty Supreme\u2019 (PVOD)<\/p>\n

Marty Supreme | Official Trailer HD | A24 – YouTube

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

The movie that everybody was talking about last month is heading to streaming this week. \u201cMarty Supreme\u201d is perhaps Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet\u2019s best chance yet at scooping his much-coveted Academy Award, and much like Jessie Buckley, Chalamet would be a worthy Oscar winner for his work as Marty Mauser. This sports drama comes from director Josh Safdie and totally flies by thanks to phenomenal pacing and a commitment to constantly raising the stakes.<\/p>\n

You may like<\/p>\n

Set in the emerging world of professional table tennis, Marty (Chalamet) is a confident showman convinced it’s his destiny to become the world\u2019s greatest player. The people around him might not respect his dream, but he\u2019s driven to the point of obsession and refuses to allow any setbacks, big or small, stop his quest for greatness. Also starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary and Tyler Okonma, \u201cMarty Supreme\u201d is supremely entertaining.<\/p>\n

Watch on Amazon (buy\/rent)<\/a> from February 3<\/p>\n

\u2018The Secret Agent\u2019 (PVOD)<\/p>\n

THE SECRET AGENT – Official Trailer – In Select Theaters November 26 – YouTube
\n\"THE<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Secret Agent\u201d is another Oscar contender that received four nods last month, including Best Picture and Best Actor for lead Wagner Moura. It\u2019s further evidence that the Academy is now taking foreign language movies seriously, and that\u2019s a very good thing in my books. Boasting a near perfect 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, this political thriller is by (almost) all accounts exceptional. Don\u2019t skip it just because you\u2019ll need subtitles.<\/p>\n

Set in the 1970s, during a period of political turmoil in Brazil, Marcelo (Moura) is a teacher who moves from S\u00e3o Paulo to Recife in the hopes of escaping his violent past. However, his plans for a fresh start quickly turn sour when he finds his hometown is not the haven he hoped. Believing his neighbors are spying on him, Marcelo\u2019s ordeal is only just beginning. \u201cThe Secret Agent\u201d mixes gripping thriller tropes with a sharp political message.<\/p>\n

Watch on Amazon (buy\/rent) <\/a>from February 3<\/p>\n

\u2018Relationship Goals\u2019 (Prime Video)<\/p>\n

Relationship Goals – Official Trailer | Prime Video – YouTube
\n\"Relationship<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

Prime Video has another original movie for subscribers to enjoy this week, and it seems like a great pick in the lead-up to Valentine\u2019s Day. This romantic comedy is based on a self-help book, \u201cRelationship Goals: How to Win at Dating, Marriage, and Sex\u201d by Michael Todd, and could be the ideal feel-good watch. Curiously, there\u2019s a meta twist here, with the book itself playing a part in the movie\u2019s core narrative.<\/p>\n

Leah Caldwell (Kelly Rowland) is a successful TV producer on a track to become the first woman to run New York\u2019s biggest morning show. However, her dream promotion is thrown into doubt when her ex, Jarrett Roy (Clifford Smith), is also put forward for the job. Jarrett claims to be a changed man after reading Todd\u2019s best-selling novel, and what follows is a tale of \u201clove vs career\u201d as Leah tries to fight the undeniable chemistry between the pair.<\/p>\n

Watch on Prime Video<\/a> from February 4<\/p>\n

\u2018Ella McCay\u2019 (Hulu)<\/p>\n

Ella McCay | Official Trailer | In Theaters December 12 – YouTube
\n\"Ella<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

Cards on the table, I did not enjoy \u201cElla McCay\u201d when I caught it in theaters in late 2025. But at least I gave it a shot, which is more than most did, considering it ranks as one of last year\u2019s biggest box office flops. It grossed less than $5 million on a budget of around $35 million. Perhaps it\u2019ll find itself a larger audience now that it\u2019s heading to Hulu. Whether or not it actually deserves a second chance\u2026 well, that\u2019s a matter of opinion.<\/p>\n

Directed by James L. Brooks, in what has been pitched as the filmmaker\u2019s final movie, \u201cElla McCay\u201d centers on the titular character, played by Emma Mackey. She\u2019s an optimistic young woman who is given the chance to act as state governor when the incumbent steps aside to take up a position in the presidential administration. The job proves particularly tricky, but she\u2019s got the support of her quirky family to help her through.<\/p>\n

Also featuring Jamie Lee Curtis, Jack Lowden, Kumail Nanjiani, Ayo Edebiri and Woody Harrelson, \u201cElla McCay\u201d has lots of promising components, but the end result struggles to find a consistent tone and has little to say.<\/p>\n

Watch on Hulu<\/a> from February 5<\/p>\n

\u2018Queen of Chess\u2019 (Netflix)<\/p>\n

Queen of Chess | Official Trailer | Netflix – YouTube
\n\"Queen<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

Before you get too excited, \u201cQueen of Chess\u201d is not the \u201cThe Queen\u2019s Gambit\u201d follow-up that many Netflix subscribers want. Instead, it\u2019s a feature-length documentary from Rory Kennedy, daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy.<\/p>\n

It premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival and centers on Hungarian chess prodigy Judit Polg\u00e1r. Starting her career at just 12 years old, Polg\u00e1r\u2019s story is a \u201cDavid and Goliath\u201d tale that celebrates the underdog spirit.<\/p>\n

Eager to beat the world champion at the time, Garry Kasparov, Polg\u00e1r had to break down gender barriers, facing off against male players who (wrongly) believed that a woman could never be ranked among the world\u2019s top chess players. But Polg\u00e1r was undeterred, and over more than a decade, she was committed to becoming one of history\u2019s finest players.<\/p>\n

Watch on Netflix<\/a> from February 6 <\/p>\n
