Beckett
Available August 13
John David Washington (Tenet) leads this thriller as an American tourist in Greece who, after a tragic car accident, finds himself on the run—and mixed up in a political conspiracy. Co-stars Oscar winner Alicia Vikander (Tomb Raider) and Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread).
Brand New Cherry Flavor
Available August 13
A filmmaker (Rosa Salazar) heads to Hollywood in the early ’90s to make her movie but tumbles down a hallucinatory rabbit hole of sex, magic, revenge—and kittens (plus, Catherine Keener!). A David Lynch vibe pervades the trailer, time will tell if it’s merely Lynch-lite… we’re hedging our bets on this one, but are nonetheless intrigued.
The Swarm
Available August 6
No, not Irwin Allen’s 1978 Michael Caine-starring The Swarm. For starters, this one is French—and it’s contemporary. This The Swarm was selected for the (cancelled) 2020 Cannes Film Festival, and sees a mother struggling to breed locusts as a food source—until the little suckers get a taste for blood, that is. Oops!
Phil Wang: Philly Philly Wang Wang
Available August 10
If Phil Wang made an impression on you when he appeared on season 5 of Taskmaster UK, you’ll want to watch this special (recorded at the London Palladium mid-pandemic) which sees him exploring race, romance, politics, and his mixed British-Malaysian heritage.
Misha and the Wolves
Documentary based on one woman’s dramatic memoir of surviving the Holocaust, an account that takes the world by storm—until her publisher investigates the truth of her claims.
…and the rest
This month’s back catalogue titles include some heavy-hitters in Joker, Doctor Sleep and Hustlers—with more still to be announced. And, if you’re in more of a reality show binge mood, settle in for Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (and Below Deck Mediterranean).
