New to Streaming: Magellan, All That’s Left of You, Roofman, and More

      Every week, we showcase the notable titles that have recently become available on streaming platforms in the United States. Take a look at this week's picks below and past collections here.

      **All That’s Left of You (Cherien Dabis)**

      This expansive and compelling drama begins with the establishment of the state of Israel and the displacement of Palestinian families in Jaffa, concluding just two years before the Hamas-led attacks of October 7. Cherien Dabis’ *All That’s Left of You* examines generational trauma on both personal and monumental levels. Chronicling over seventy years in the life of the Hammad family—orange growers expelled from their land in Jaffa in 1948—the film offers insights into decades of Palestinian suffering, rooted in the deep Jewish trauma of the Holocaust. Ultimately, it transforms from a narrative of anger into a plea for reconciliation, arriving at a profound conclusion that honors both forms of generational trauma while embracing unexpected complexity. – John F.

      **BlackBerry (Matt Johnson)**

      *BlackBerry* depicts the ascent of a prominent tech company that leads to the breakdown of a long-standing friendship. Sound familiar? Just wait until you hear the score. Directed by Matt Johnson, this film narrates the true story of Mike Lazaridis and Douglas Fregin, software engineers who founded RIM in the mid-80s and later developed a cellphone capable of handling email. The story kicks off on the day they meet Jim Basillie (Glenn Howerton), a driven businessman who, along with Lazaridis’ brilliance, propelled RIM’s creation (later known as BlackBerry) into the global mobile device that it once was––at least for a period. – Rory O.

      **Hot Milk (Rebecca Lenkiewicz)**

      The mother-daughter relationship rarely resembles a love story, at least not in the ways it has been portrayed in art thus far. While a mother deeply loves her daughter (and vice versa), this affection is often characterized by ambivalence and tinged with resentment. British author Deborah Levy’s 2016 novel *Hot Milk* captures this ambivalence at its core; seasoned screenwriter Rebecca Lenkiewicz (Ida, She Said) has now adapted the acclaimed book for her directorial debut. Set during a scorching summer in Almería on Spain’s southeast coast, the intense *Hot Milk* follows 25-year-old Sofia (Emma Mackey) and her partially paralyzed mother Rose (Fiona Shaw) as they contend with everyday ailments and maternal challenges, forever together yet somehow always apart. – Savina P.

      **Is This Thing On? (Bradley Cooper)**

      Bradley Cooper’s *Is This Thing On?* begins with both a straightforward yet deeply intricate question: is this thing over? Alex and Tess Novak (Will Arnett and Laura Dern) have reached their breaking point after decades of marriage. They adore their mischievous boys, but that doesn’t compensate for their loathing of their shared lives. The answer appears clear: yes, it’s over. However, that doesn’t mean it’s uncomplicated. – Luke H. (full review)

      **Magellan (Lav Diaz)**

      With a Western star at its core and a relatively brief runtime of 163 minutes, *Magellan* can easily be viewed as Lav Diaz’s most “accessible film.” Yet for devoted fans, it is clearly a culmination of his lifelong work. Amidst a body of work focused on confronting the demons of a nation stripped of identity and subjected to multiple brutal colonizations, he shifts his focus to the Philippines’ fundamental sin. Ever provocative, Diaz sheds light on the myth of Ferdinand Magellan, portraying him as a weak, pitiful figure who inadvertently brought about destabilization while condemning the audience for wanting to witness it. It’s no coincidence that *Magellan* opens with an indigenous woman startled by an offscreen sound, staring into the camera, screaming, and fleeing: even the inquisitive gaze of “compassion” is complicit, and Diaz ensures you recognize this. – Brandon S.

      **Roofman (Derek Cianfrance)**

      Although Derek Cianfrance's presence in the contemporary American cinematic landscape may be modest, it is still notable. His limited filmography of four features and a single HBO miniseries exhibits remarkable tonal and stylistic consistency: post-Cassavetes grit heightened to the point of near Sirkian melodrama, deeply concerned with themes of generational trauma and fractured families. His latest work, the Emmy-winning *I Know This Much is True*, featuring Mark Ruffalo, spanned six hours, potentially accumulating misfortune to the extent of becoming self-parodic misery-porn. Yet, it
