Each week we highlight the noteworthy titles that have recently hit streaming platforms in the United States. Check out this week’s selections below and past round-ups here.
Happening (Audrey Diwan)
Diwan’s sophomore feature is an unglamorous, straightforward film that tells a simple story about an ordinary girl. It is also the single most intense, shatteringly empathetic thing I’ve seen all year. Carried by Anamaria Vartolomei’s fiercely committed performance, the ’60s-set drama takes on the subject of unintended pregnancy and illustrates how far from a political / religious issue it can be when it happens to you. Abortion has been dealt with in landmark films, but the intimacy of perspective achieved here feels truly unmatched. A vital call for kindness like no other. – Zhuo-Ning Su

- Hawks are not easy to domesticate. Some of them refuse to “break”. They would rather starve themselves to death before giving up their freedom. Julian Goldberger, the director of ‘The Hawk Is Dying’ isn’t ready to be domesticated either. Hopefully he will never be. He became one of the most acclaimed new young directors in 1998 with his feature film debut Trans, an almost experimental but unforgettable movie that opened at the Toronto Film Festival and quickly became a cult pic. The low-budget movie, about a teenager trying to find his place in the world, became a favorite of the festival circuit, traveling from Sundance to Berlin winning awards and hype for this author. Trans caught the eye of Ted Hope, one of the biggest names of the so called ‘independent circuit’, who offered to produce his next project. Almost eight years later, on the eve of the 2006 Sundance Film Festival,

In the quirky drama from Antidote Films, Oscar nominee Giamatti (Sideways) stars as a Florida auto upholsterer who attempts to liven up his humdrum life by taming a wild hawk. He lives with an overweight sister (Ann Wedgeworth) and an autistic nephew (Pitt) and gets involved with an on-again/off-again girlfriend (Williams) who might be involved in the death of one of the characters.
