New Movies Streaming
‘Eddington’ (2025)
Ari Aster’s contemporary Western is not a comfort watch, telling a tale of rapid social decay set in a fictional New Mexico town at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a local sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) chafes under the mask mandates of the town’s mayor (Pedro Pascal), he decides to challenge the incumbent, using every tool — including venomous social media posts, scurrilous accusations of pedophilia, and recruiting a prominent cult leader — at his disposal.
How to watch: “Eddington” is streaming on HBO Max.
‘Freakier Friday’ (2025)
Twenty two years after Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan’s 2003 body swap comedy, this legacyquel ups the ante by taking inspiration from Lohan’s 1998 movie “The Parent Trap.” There are four people who have swapped bodies this time: Lohan’s Alice, Curtis’ Tess, Alice’s daughter Harper, and her stepsister Lily, who decide to use the body swap as a way to break up their parents. Your mileage may vary if you weren’t already a fan of the aforementioned films, but Lohan and Curtis can still draw plenty of laughs decades after their respective career peaks.
How to watch: “Freakier Friday” is streaming on Disney+.
‘Nouvelle Vague‘ (2025)
If you’re a fan of French New Wave films, Richard Linklater’s ode to Jean-Luc Godard is a fun watch. The movie follows the legendary director (played here by Guillaume Marbeck) as he makes his landmark 1960 film “Breathless.” If you’ve never seen “Breathless,” be sure to catch it streaming on HBO Max as well.
How to watch: “Nouvelle Vague” is streaming on Netflix.

‘All Her Fault’ (2025)
It’s a question that will terrify parents everywhere: What would happen if your child disappeared? There’s the initial shock and the mortal terror, obviously. But what about the ways it would change how others see you and how you perceive yourself? Those are the central questions in this Peacock thriller starring “Succession” actress Sarah Snook, with supporting turns from Dakota Fanning and Jake Lacy, Michael Peña and Abby Elliott.
How to watch: “All Her Fault” is streaming on Peacock.
‘Pluribus’ (2025)
I’m not going to spoil the central conceit of “Pluribus” for you. All you really need to know is that it’s “Breaking Bad” creator Vince Gilligan’s first show since “Better Call Saul,” and it stars “BCS” standout Rhea Seehorn. Need a little more than that? It’s got a sci-fi premise but is defined by human nature, and like Gilligan’s other shows, it’s set in Albuquerque. Just watch the trailer if you want a sense of the vibe without spoiling any major plot details.
How to watch: “Pluribus” is streaming on Apple TV+.
