BIG ON STREAMING

Flicks recommends

The spectre of Stephen King seems to hang over small town religious horror Midnight Mass. Lurking at the dark heart of horror maestro Mike Flanagan’s latest series is a Very Good Idea, and it’s an absolute doozy. (NETFLIX)

Trailer

Kajillionaire

Miranda July’s bizarre crime caper comedy-drama flew under the radar, but it’s one of 2020’s best. Evan Rachel Wood, Richard Jenkins and Debra Winger shine as a family of grifters, with Wood particularly great as Old Dolio - yes, “Old Dolio”. (PRIME VIDEO)

Scenes from a Marriage (2021)

Beautiful people devolve into ugly, near-unbearably intimate arguments in this remake of the Ingmar Bergman miniseries. Isaac and Chastain should appear in a project together every few years for the rest of their lives. (Neon)

Trailer

The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst

With Robert Durst finally convicted this week, time to watch for the first time or revisit the absolutely top shelf HBO investigative documentary that lead to his downfall. (Neon)

Trailer

The Voyeurs

You're welcome to perve on this entertaining, twist-filled throwback of an erotic thriller. All is redeemed in the final, steamy act. (Prime Video)

Trailer

The Flight Attendant: Season 1

This is an absolute banger - a fast and addictive comedy-thriller. Kaley Cuoco plays a flight attendant who becomes entangled in a murderous twisted plot involving international subterfuge. (Neon)

Trailer

Everybody's Talking About Jamie

Drag may have officially hit the mainstream with this family-friendly, sugary musical: based on a true story (and stage show) about a gay teen dreaming of drag queen ascendance. (Prime Video)

Trailer

Possessor

Flicks' #1 film of 2020, a nasty sci-fi horror about a body-swapping assassin (Andrea Riseborough) losing her mind. Delivered with all the gory, icky, trippy panache of a Cronenberg (David's son Brandon directing here). (Shudder)

Trailer

Raised by Wolves: Season 1

Ridley Scott-produced sci-fi series has a top-tier aesthetic and intriguing storyline as it follows children raised by androids on an alien planet after Earth's devastation. Yes, there's milky android blood... (Neon)
