Top movies to watch on Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max this week

Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max are offering a number of top notch movies for films enthusiasts and cinephiles. These movies are "Skywalkers: A Love Story", "Young Woman and the Sea", "Love Lies Bleeding", "The Commandant’s Shadow", and "My Spy: The Eternal City".

Prime Video has the sequel "My Spy: The Eternal City", in which Dave Bautista’s CIA agent JJ accompanies Sophie (Chloe Coleman) on a school trip to Italy where they get caught up in a terrorist plot. Kristen Schaal, Ken Jeong, Anna Faris and Craig Robinson co-star in the Pete Segal pic which is available starting Thursday.

MAX has a few good new offerings, too, with the streaming premiere of "Love Lies Bleeding" on Friday and "The Commandant’s Shadow" on Thursday. The former is the sophomore feature of filmmaker Rose Glass, who directs Kristen Stewart in a wildly compelling performance as a gym manager who has fallen for a bodybuilder (Katy O’Brien) drifter. Associated Press Film Writer Jake Coyle wrote in his review that it “gives Stewart a vivid noir sandbox where all of her talent for obsession, desire and rage finds its gnarliest expression yet.” The latter is a documentary in which the son of Nazi commandant Rudolf Höss (also the subject of the Oscar-winning “The Zone of Interest” ) reckons with his family’s past.


If you loved the adrenaline rush of watching Alex Honnold scale El Capitan in “Free Solo,” Netflix has a treat for you. This time the heights are manmade but no less harrowing. In "Skywalkers: A Love Story", filmmaker Jeff Zimbalist takes viewers into the dangerous world of rooftoppers – the daredevils who scale the world’s tallest buildings. The subjects in "Skywalkers", streaming on Netflix starting Friday, are Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus who are not only talented rooftoppers but also in a relationship (hence the “love story” in the title) with own ups and downs. Part heist movie, part dazzling spectacle thanks to incredible Go-Pro footage, part relationship drama, it is a no-brainer of a click.

Daisy Ridley stars as the trailblazing deep sea swimmer Trudy Ederle in "Young Woman and the Sea", a very well made and inspiring sports drama that harkens back to the live-action movies Disney used to make in the early '90s like "Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken." Accessible for the whole family, the movie follows Ederle from her childhood to the Olympics and finally on her quest to become the first woman to swim the English Channel, in 1926. It had a somewhat quiet theatrical release after producer Jerry Bruckheimer found it got the best test scores of his career. But now it’ll be available for all, on Disney+, on Friday.
