Recently Added to Streaming: Blossoms Shanghai, Blue Moon Bugonia, Urchin, Left-Handed Girl, and More

      Each week, we spotlight notable titles that have recently arrived on streaming platforms in the United States. Check out this week’s picks below and previous compilations here.

      **2000 Meters to Andriivka (Mstyslav Chernov)**

      In *2000 Meters to Andriivka*, we are thrust directly into the chaos of war. Through a first-person perspective, we accompany a group of Ukrainian soldiers on their mission to free the Russian-occupied village of Andriivka. As they navigate the mine-laden forest, they come under heavy fire from enemy forces. The village is just over a mile away and serves as a critical point in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. – Dan M. (full review)

      **Blossoms Shanghai (Wong Kar-wai)**

      Two years after its premiere in China, Wong Kar Wai’s *Blossoms Shanghai* is finally making its way to America. Starting this week, the Criterion Channel will exclusively debut the 30-episode series, releasing three new episodes every Monday night at 8 p.m. ET until the end of January.

      **Where to Stream**: The Criterion Channel

      **Blue Moon (Richard Linklater)**

      *Blue Moon*, which had its world premiere at the Berlinale, is another deeply personal film from Linklater, filled with his distinctive quirks. What sets this work apart from his previous films is that it represents the kind of project one can only create at a mature stage in their career. While Linklater continues to have much to demonstrate, narratives like Robert Kaplow’s—set in the uniquely challenging environment of mid-WWII New York theater—might typically intimidate financiers. With an established career, Linklater faces fewer constraints, possibly positioning his next project as a serious awards contender and allowing him to cultivate new acting relationships. The relaxed expectations for this work enable him to showcase his true artistic identity at this juncture in his life. – David K. (full review)

      **Where to Stream**: VOD

      **Bugonia (Yorgos Lanthimos)**

      After exploring dystopian tales (The Lobster) and period comedies (The Favourite), and surprising audiences with unique narratives (Dogtooth) and imaginative adaptations (Poor Things), Yorgos Lanthimos has continually demonstrated boundless creativity. In remaking the underappreciated Korean sci-fi comedy thriller *Save the Green Planet!*, he honors the original while infusing it with his distinct flair, resulting in a slicker, albeit slightly toned-down, version of an absolutely wild film. – Zhuo-Ning Su (full review)

      **Where to Stream**: VOD

      **i hate myself :) (Joanna Arnow)**

      The director from Brooklyn, recognized for her intimate and transgressive storytelling, chronicles her year-long relationship with an open-mic provocateur in this bold and honest early feature. Filming amidst parental disapproval and her boyfriend's startling onstage performances, Arnow crafts a unique narrative that grapples with the intricacies of love and attachment.

      **Where to Stream**: Le Cinéma Club

      **Left-Handed Girl (Shih-Ching Tsou)**

      The neon-lit streets of Taipei’s night markets appear exceptionally vibrant through the eyes of a child. Filmed on an iPhone to capture the wonderment of a five-year-old's perspective, where every ordinary alley is filled with endless possibilities, Shih-Ching Tsou’s debut feature *Left-Handed Girl* is a poignant yet simple drama focused on a family living paycheck-to-paycheck. Its visual style and child-centered view of near-poverty evoke comparisons to co-writer Sean Baker’s *The Florida Project*, which Tsou produced, but the story centers more on those who are on the cusp of escaping such circumstances, with every rent hike or unforeseen expense threatening to pull them back. – Alistair R. (full review)

      **Where to Stream**: Netflix

      **Mickey 17 (Bong Joon Ho)**

      Is Mark Ruffalo impersonating Trump? Early in Bong Joon Ho’s *Mickey 17*, Ruffalo struts into view in a luxurious blazer, accompanied by his wife Ylfa (Toni Collette), basking in the applause of a crowd as if he’s a messianic figure. He portrays Kenneth Marshall, the leader of a quasi-cult Church and a former presidential candidate overseeing a new space mission aimed at relocating humanity to the distant planet Niflheim, far from a nearly uninhabitable Earth. A hopeless narcissist surrounded by a group of sycophants capturing his every move on camera, he boasts impossibly white teeth in a self-satisfied grin, nostrils flared, vowels meticulously elongated. While the narrative primarily follows not one, but two Robert Pattinsons, it’s Ruffalo who commands the spotlight

I blinked once, and suddenly it was time for the end-of-2025 lists. Few things signal the upcoming rush as prominently as Cahiers du cinéma's annual countdown, which has typically included a mix of American favorites, major festival debuts, and titles still looking for their moment in the spotlight. At the forefront is Albert Serra's Afternoons of Solitude (a film debuting in 2024 that only reached many regions this year), followed closely by Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another, which takes the commendable second place. The review continues with Nadav Lapid’s Yes and Kleber Mendonça Filho's The Secret Agent; further down, Richard Linklater's Nouvelle Vague receives perhaps the most meaningful recognition that film could get, while Christian Petzold's somewhat polarizing Miroirs No. 3 wraps up the list. Among films that have garnered less attention in North American markets, Pedro Pinho's I Only Rest in the Storm and Sophie Letourneur's L’aventura hold middle positions; trailing behind are Vincent Barré and Pierre Creton's 7 Walks with Mark Brown, alongside Matteo Eustachon, Léo Couture, and Anton Balekdjian's Laurent dans le vent.
