Hitting Netflix this week, the film follows a five-year period in Freeman’s dance career, through her diagnosis with autism spectrum disorder at 33, and the preparation of her first evening-length solo performance, Is It Thursday Yet?, with choreographer Sonya Tayeh. Executive produced by Amy Schumer and Sarah Sarandos, Room to Move aims to destigmatize autism and not just in the world of dance. — S.C.
How to watch: Room to Move is now streaming on Netflix.
12. Calabasas Confidential

11. Smothered
Horror and thriller films about motherhood run the gamut from thematically subtle to bizarrely overt, and we can’t get enough of them. Directed by Kevin Rahardjo and Rafki Hidayat, Indonesian film Smothered leans into the folk horror side of the subgenre by reinterpreting the West Sumatran legend of Malin Kundang. In this cautionary tale of filial piety, a man who becomes a wealthy merchant is turned to stone for shunning his mother on his return home.
In Smothered, Rio Dewanto plays Alif, a man who left home as a child to earn money for his mother but didn’t return, instead establishing his family and success elsewhere. Then, an accident splinters his memories. When an elderly woman shows up claiming to be his mother, Alif doesn’t recognise her. But if he turns her away, will a terrible curse will be unleashed? — S.C.
Starring: Rio Dewanto, Faradina Mufti, Vonny Anggraini, Jordan Omar, Sulthan Hamonangan, Gambit Saifullah, Nova Eliza, and Tony Merle
How to watch: Smothered begins streaming on Shudder May 29.
10. Star City
Apple TV’s For All Mankind presents an alternate history of the Space Race, one where the Soviet Union became the first country to send a man to the moon. The show’s upcoming spin-off, Star City, rewinds the clock to examine the early days of the Soviet Union’s space program. Behind the Iron Curtain unfolds a thriller steeped in paranoia, as the program’s cosmonauts, engineers, and more weather moles and leaks in their efforts to push humanity farther than it’s ever been before.* — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter
Starring: Rhys Ifans, Anna Maxwell Martin, Agnes O’Casey, Alice Englert, Solly McLeod, Adam Nagaitis, Ruby Ashbourne Serkis, Josef Davies, and Priya Kansara

Season 1 ended with the loss of Carell’s Nick and the dramatic news that his younger girlfriend Ginny (Erika Henningsen) is pregnant.

8. Deli Boys, Season 2
What happens when your multimillionaire father’s death unveils a secret drug empire? That’s the problem Mir and Raj Dar (Asif Ali and Saagar Shaikh) face in Season 1 of Hulu’s delightful crime comedy Deli Boys. In Season 2, the stakes are even higher: The Dar brothers are swamped with dirty cash, which draws the attention of the shadiest characters in Philadelphia. Among them is Max Sugar (Fred Armisen), who catches the attention of Deli Boys scene stealer Lucky (Poorna Jagannathan). If the fun of the first season somehow isn’t enough to draw you back, then surely the promise of the pairing of Armisen and Jagannathan will do the trick.* — B.E.
Starring: Asif Ali, Saagar Shaikh, Poorna Jagannathan, Fred Armisen, Andrew Rannells, Kumail Nanjiani, Lilly Singh, Robin Thede, and Tan France
How to watch: Deli Boys Season 2 premieres May 28 on Hulu and Disney+.
7. Heel
This twisted dark comedy from 2025 centers on a dysfunctional family with a deep love of discipline. Adolescence‘s Stephen Graham stars as the mild-manned father named Chris, who seems polite to his new housekeeper Rina (Monika Frajczyk) — that is, until she finds the teenage boy shackled up in the basement. But wait, it’s not what you might think.
Chris and his quiet wife Kathryn (Andrea Riseborough) and their 10-year-old son Jonathan (Kit Rakusen) are dedicated to making this teen called Tommy into a better person, through extreme measures. While Tommy (Anson Boon) might initially resist, a begrudging familial bond begins to build with his captors.
In my review out of TIFF, I wrote, “If you’re seeking funky and fucked-up entertainment, Heel should scratch that late-night movie itch.” —K.P.
Starring: Stephen Graham, Andrea Riseborough, Anson Boon, Monika Frajczyk, and Kit Rakusen
How to watch: Heel is now available for rent or purchase on Prime Video.
6. Iron Lung
Markiplier’s feature film debut Iron Lung is heading home to the creator’s go-to platform: YouTube. In the last few years, 36-year-old creator and streamer Mark Fischbach pivoted to filmmaking, with his first horror movie released in January to colossal theatrical success.
Written, directed, edited, and starring Fischbach, and based on David Szymanski’s 2022 post-apocalyptic horror game, Iron Lung follows a space convict tasked with the mission of traversing a sea of blood, within which terror awaits. — S.C.
Starring: Mark “Markiplier” Fischbach, Caroline Kaplan, Troy Baker, Elsie Lovelock, Elle LaMont, Seán “Jacksepticeye” McLoughlin, and Isaac McKee
How to watch: Iron Lung will be available to rent or purchase on YouTube May 31.
5. Over Your Dead Body
The Lonely Island’s Jorma Taccone has previously helmed such side-splitting comedies as MacGruber and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. Now, he’s back with Over Your Dead Body, an American remake of Tommy Wirkola’s 2021 horror-comedy The Trip.
Samara Weaving and Jason Segel co-star as a couple who travel to a remote cabin, theoretically to reconnect. But their dark hearts are separately planning a drastic breakup tactic: murdering their mate.*
In my review out of SXSW, I wrote, “If you’re looking for a twisted good time, Over Your Dead Body will deliver. It’s not radically different from its source material yet charts its own course in some compelling ways. And if your humor leans toward the dark side, you won’t want to miss this.” — K.P.
Starring: Samara Weaving, Jason Segel, Timothy Olyphant, Juliette Lewis, Paul Guilfoyle, and Keith Jardine
How to watch: Over Your Dead Body is available to rent or purchase on Prime Video.
4. Bring Me the Beauties
If you’re ready to feel deeply uncomfortable, HBO documentary Bring Me the Beauties promises to rattle, perplex, or enrage you. Directed by Chris Smith (Fyre), the three-part series delves into the Eternal Values cult run by exploitative New York socialite Frederick von Mierers, through the experience of supermodel Hoyt Richards. In 1978, as a 16-year-old, Richards was recruited into the beauty-obsessed group by its wealthy leader, then rose to global fame in the ’80s.
However, the darker side of Eternal Values would see Richards and other young professional models financially and psychologically ensnared in von Mierers’ web of bogus New Age (and alien-based) dogma. But what actually happened within the Eternal Values cult? There’s much to reflect on in this doc. — S.C.
How to watch: Bring Me the Beauties begins streaming on HBO Max June 1.
3. Scream 7
Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and Matthew Lillard reunited for Scream 7, marking the highest-grossing sequel this franchise has seen. But if you somehow missed how exactly Lillard is returning to the slasher film series after his character Stu Macher was killed off by a TV in Scream, we’d recommend the video below. Visiting our Say More studio, he gave the only kind of spoilers he was allowed, through telepathy.
Shenanigans aside, Scream 7 brought Scream screenwriter Kevin Williamson back to the franchise and on as director. The results were a wild ride that had Sydney Prescott (Campbell) defending her teen daughter Tatum (Isabel May) from Ghostface. In my review, I cheered, “As someone who has long counted Scream as the best of the batch, I yearned for a sequel that recaptured that feeling of discovery but also shared in my affection for the first film. Scream 7 does that, paying homage without being beholden to audience expectation or constrictive lore. Incredibly, Williams gives us a hearty dose of nostalgia and Easter eggs while providing new ideas, weird reveals, and fresh chills.”* — K.P.
Starring: Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Matthew Lillard, Isabel May, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Anna Camp, Joel McHale, Mckenna Grace, Michelle Randolph, Asa Germann, Celeste O’Connor, Sam Rechner, Ethan Embry, Timothy Simons, and Mark Consuelos
How to watch: Scream 7 begins streaming on Paramount+ May 28.
2. The Moment
Charli XCX offers a mockumentary that explores her Brat Summer moment through a thin, crackling sheen of neon-green comedy. The plot follows Charli from promo demands to tour prep to ultra-exclusive spas and shattering personal meltdowns. While she and her trusted creative director, Celeste (Hailey Benton Gates), have a pulsing nightclub vision for the Brat tour, a ever-smiling documentarian named Johannes (Alexander Skarsgård) pressures for a more mainstream vision that’ll appeal to “dads.”
In my review out of Sundance, I cheered, “Rather than broadly skewering the rich and famous, The Moment shrewdly targets the corporate side of making art for a living. Through celebrity cameos, a succinct yet riveting story, earnest emotion, and biting humor, Charli XCX’s mockumentary captures something real about the battle of art versus commerce. How does one hold onto themselves when hit by an avalanche of more, more, more, for better or worse? The Moment shows one answer, urging audiences to find their own.”* — K.P.
Starring: Charli XCX, Rosanna Arquette, Kate Berlant, Jamie Demetriou, Hailey Benton Gates, Isaac Powell, and Alexander Skarsgård
How to watch: The Moment begins streaming on HBO Max May 29.
Best of streaming this week: Spider-Noir
It’s impossible to single out just one highlight in the Academy Award–winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, but hearing Nicolas Cage voice the ultra-broody Spider-Man Noir is certainly up there. This year, Cage takes that portrayal into live action with Spider-Noir, which audiences can watch in black and white or color.
The series takes place in 1930s New York, where Cage’s Ben Reilly is a grizzled private investigator who also happens to be the city’s only superhero. Here’s hoping he gets to drink all the egg creams and punch all the Nazis he wants. If it’s even half as fun as Spider-Man Noir’s appearance in Into the Spider-Verse, I’m all for it.* — B.E.
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, Abraham Popoola, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, and Jack Huston
How to watch: Spider-Noir is streaming on Prime Video May 27.
