New to Streaming: Two Pianos, The Last One for the Road, Pressure, The Wizard of the Kremlin, and More

      Every week, we showcase notable titles that have recently become available on streaming platforms in the United States. Check out this week's picks below and previous highlights here.

      André Is an Idiot (Tony Benna)

      There is a raw sincerity to André Is an Idiot that is commendable, even if not everything resonates. The documentary focuses on a straightforward yet profound subject: accomplished advertising creative André Ricciardi failed to undergo a colonoscopy at the appropriate age, and when he finally had one, he discovered he had Stage 4 Colon Cancer. Faced with this grim diagnosis, André chose to create a film about death. It’s a daring concept, reminiscent of many of his commercial ideas. – Dan M. (full review)

      Deep Water (Renny Harlin)

      Coming back to shark-infested waters a quarter-century after Deep Blue Sea became a staple on cable TV and streaming, Renny Harlin’s Deep Water feels like it belongs to a different era, for better or worse. Featuring a cast of cliched yet earnestly portrayed archetypes and thrills carefully paced in a straightforward, roller-coaster style, this film—a blend of airplane disaster and shark thriller—could easily slot into a late-night TV schedule and, aside from its overly pristine digital appearance, might be mistaken for an old classic. This retro homage to 1970s disaster films has a quaint appeal, boosted by Harlin’s brisk directing, even if it lacks lasting impact. – Jordan R. (full review)

      Eno (Gary Hustwit)

      Thanks to a generative AI twist, Gary Hustwit’s Eno explores boundless possibilities, partially functioning as a conventional biopic featuring interviews and archival footage of composer Brian Eno, the innovative musician and artist known for his work with Roxy Music and creating the startup sound for Windows PCs. The film is randomly arranged, with a defined opening and conclusion, seemingly inspired by the "Oblique Strategies" cards that Eno and David Bowie used to create tension in their collaborations. – John F.

      Finnegan’s Foursome (Edward Burns)

      Edward Burns’ latest film marks a first for the director: a sports movie! Following the death of the Finnegan family's golf pro patriarch (Ian McElhinney), his two sons (Burns and Brian d’Arcy James) aim to uphold the tradition of the annual Finnegan’s Cup, involving their children (Erica Hernandez, Brian Muller) in the competition. Comedy and emotional resolution follow, accompanied by stunning footage of Ireland’s lush landscapes. True to much of Burns’ work, this film is playful and endearing, with a heartfelt core. – Dan M.

      Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (Gore Verbinski)

      From the moment Sam Rockwell bursts into a diner dressed in a makeshift time-travel costume comprising steampunk gadgets beneath a filthy clear raincoat, it’s evident this is not a film born from committee decisions. What starts as a potential hostage situation quickly evolves into a mission to save all humanity from a rogue AI on the verge of total domination—if we take Rockwell’s character’s words at face value, including a complex plot about resetting the timeline with a very specific group of individuals from the diner. If he selects the right companions, perhaps humanity can be salvaged. If not, he’ll just have to keep trying until he succeeds. – Eric V. (full review)

      Where to Stream: Hulu, Disney+

      How to Make a Killing (John Patton Ford)

      John Patton Ford’s second feature confidently follows its clever lead from opening shot to closing credits, nicely assured that outcomes will favor him despite overwhelming odds. The writer-director behind Emily the Criminal introduces us to the always-smirking Becket Redfellow (Glen Powell) in a prison cell, where he humorously expresses his discontent about being served chocolate ice cream instead of the vanilla he ordered before embarking on a voiceover that recounts how someone with such an illustrious name (and background) ended up in such a dire situation. – Luke H. (full review)

      Where to Stream: HBO Max

      Mad Bills to Pay (or Destiny, dile que no soy malo) (Joel Alfonso Vargas)

      An impressive directorial debut, Joel Alfonso Vargas’ Mad Bills to Pay (or Destiny, dile que no soy malo) tells a true New York story and was featured at Sundance, Berlinale, New Directors/New Films, BFI London, and additional film festivals last year. Featuring Juan Collado, Destiny Checo, Yohanna Florentino, and Nathaly Navarro, it is now available digitally following its theatrical release this spring.
