The live-action movie has quickly garnered strong streaming numbers for Disney+.
Besides Snow White, other additions to our guide include Echo Valley, an Apple TV+ thriller featuring two acclaimed actresses, and Cleaner, a Max action pic starring a prolific actress from the Star Wars universe. Keep reading to see the best new movies to stream this week.

Captain America: Brave New World (2025)
42%
5.7/10There may be a great version of Captain America: Brave New World somewhere, but it isn’t in this film. All of the scenes with Giancarlo Esposito’s Sidewinder were Frankensteined into Brave New World during the reshoots, and they’re better than anything else in the film.
Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) is still settling in as Captain America when the new President of the United States, Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross (Harrison Ford) asks him to set aside their differences and reform the Avengers. Before they can even try to attempt that, Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson) brings the world to the brink of war and manipulates Sam’s friend, Isaiah Bradley (Carl Lumbly), and other pawns to get his revenge on Ross.

Fountain of Youth (2025)
41%
5.9/10Director Guy Ritchie must have really wanted to make an Indiana Jones movie, and that’s kind of what he did with Fountain of Youth, but with a lot of The Mummy thrown in. Natalie Portman stars as Charlotte Purdue, a genius who is very unhappy with her life as a museum curator. So it’s just as well that her older brother, Luke Purdue (John Krasinski), just cost her that job by stealing a painting out from under nose.
Luke is an archeologist with a bad reputation, but he’s got the backing of a dying billionaire, Owen Carver (Domhnall Gleeson), to track down and locate the fabled Fountain of Youth. After Luke ropes Charlotte into their quest, the reunited siblings have to deal with an enigmatic woman named Esme (Eiza Gonzalez), who is determined to get to the fountain before they can.

Cleaner (2025)
51%
5.1/10Blake plans to expose the company’s corruption and will murder anyone inside to prove his point. Unbeknownst to Joey, Michael slipped away from her watch and became a hostage. It’s time for Joey to rely on her combat skills to thwart Blake’s plans and save her brother.
The Brutalist (2024)
90%A period piece about a fictional architect who the film credits with creating the Brutalist style of architecture, The Brutalist is a great case study for the different tastes of critics and audiences. While audiences largely enjoyed The Brutalist, it’s a three-and-a-half-hour epic with no shortage of pain and suffering. Naturally, that led it to earn ten Oscar nominations and three wins (including Best Actor for Adrien Brody).
Nonetheless, The Brutalist is true cinema, following László Toth’s (Brody) escape from post-war Europe to America to rebuild his life, work, and marriage to his wife Erzsébet (Felicity Jones) after the chaos of war. When prominent industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce) notices his talent for building, his life goes on a very different path.
Babygirl (2024)
79%This A24 film examines intergenerational sexual dynamics in the workplace to the point of essentially being an erotic drama, albeit with more brain and less lust than 50 Shades of Grey.
Romy (Nicole Kidman) is a high-powered CEO with a beautiful family, but she puts all of that at risk when she enters into a submissive affair with her 21-year-old intern, Samuel (Harris Dickinson). With all the power at her disposal, Samuel simply assumes (correctly) that Romy wants to feel powerless.
Amazon Prime Video
The Fire Inside (2024)
76%Can you imagine living out your dream only to discover that it’s not good enough?

Claressa worked tirelessly with her coach, Jason Crutchfield (Brian Tyree Henry), to become one of the best boxers in the world. But after the Olympics fade into memory, Claressa is shocked when they fail to open doors for her to prosper. You won’t see her picture on the front of a Wheeties box, and advertisers aren’t flocking to sign her. Winning this battle is going to be far more difficult for Claressa than a boxing ring ever was.
Another Simple Favor (2025)
57%Seven years after A Simple Favor, Another Simple Favor is a sequel released as an Amazon Prime Original. In the second film, Stephanie Smothers (Anna Kendrick) and Emily Nelson (Blake Lively) reunite on the Italian island of Capri for Emily’s wedding to a wealthy Italian businessman.

Hulu
The Last Showgirl (2024)
66%
6.5/10Pamela Anderson may not have been rewarded with an Oscar nod for her performance in The Last Showgirl, but she proved that there’s more than she can do as an actress in the twilight of her career. Anderson plays Shelly Gardner, a Las Vegas showgirl who has starred in the same revue for three decades. It’s her life and the only thing keeping her going. That’s why Shelly’s life is shattered when she learns that the revue is shutting down and she has nowhere left to go. There aren’t a lot of options in Vegas for an aging showgirl, and Shelly’s desperation is palpable. But her best friend, Annette (Jamie Lee Curtis), repeatedly proves that there’s still further to fall. Shelly also makes an attempt to reconnect with her estranged daughter, Hannah Gardner (Billie Lourd), but that’s just one in a long line of relationships that Shelly torched in favor of the show. That bill has come due, and Shelly has no idea if she has any kind of future ahead of her.
Summer of 69 (2025)
This Hulu original teen comedy stars Sam Morelos as Abby Flores, a nerdy high schooler who spends her days playing video games and fantasizing about her crush, Max Warren (Matt Cornett).

Netflix
Fear Street: Prom Queen (2025)
44%Fear Street: Prom Queen is the loose continuation of R.L. Stein’s teen horror franchise after Netflix pumped out three Fear Street flicks in 2021. You don’t need to have seen any of those to understand what’s happening in this throwback story to 1988. Teenager Lori Granger (India Fowler) is the focus here, and she’s tired of being a social outcast because everyone thinks her mother murdered her dad. Lori is out to change everything by earning the prom queen title, even though her rival, Tiffany Falconer (Fina Strazza), isn’t going to simply let Lori take it from her. However, these young ladies have a much bigger problem than each other. A masked serial killer is methodically taking out victims at the prom, and at the rate things are going, either Lori or Tiffany could be next on the hit list.
I’m Still Here (2024)
85%Winner of last year’s Best International Film Oscar, I’m Still Here is based on Marcelo Rubens Paiva’s best-selling memoir of life under military dictatorship in 1971 Brazil.

Determined to find his aunt and solve the mystery of her disappearance, in true Paddington fashion, he might just stumble across something even more special along the way.
Paramount+
Novocaine (2025)
58%Jack Quaid jumps from The Boys to another superhero-adjacent project in Novocaine, an action-comedy about everyman Nate (Quaid), who has an extraordinary inability to feel pain. \So, when the girl of his dreams (Amber Midthunder) is kidnapped, he decides to turn that curse into a strength as he goes into the jaws of the beast to get her back and prove his valor. Of course, nothing is ever easy.
Better Man (2024)
77%The biggest box office flop of the year and one of the biggest ever, Better Man, grossed just over $20 million worldwide against a $110 million budget. The extraordinary loss is much more on marketing failures, however, than on the actual quality of the movie, which has received good reviews. Based on British pop star Robbie Williams’ rise, fall, and resurgence, Williams made the somewhat bizarre call to cast himself as a CGI monkey in the largely autobiographical film.
While the film is about the challenges of fame and success, the greatest irony is that Williams was nowhere near a big enough star to make a film like this in the first place.
Shudder
The Ugly Stepsister (2025)
