THE BEST MOVIES STREAMING THIS WEEK
The Top 10 movies added to or extended on the streaming services this week:
 
 
1) BLOOD SIMPLE  4.5 Star Review
 
A gloriously repellent performance by M. Emmet Walsh is one of many highlights of this thriller – a drum-tight gem that launched a film-making phenomenon - the Coens' debut is an ingeniously horrible noir masterwork. ~ Guardian

2) BURTON AND TAYLOR  4.5 Star Review
 
A wholly wonderful biopic that charts passion, scandal, superstardom and a trail of devastated soft furnishings. ~ Guardian

3) BRAZIL  4.5 Star Review
 
Unique and essential. Terry Gilliam's dystopian epic remains among his best, blending his trademark visual inventiveness with a vicious brand of social satire. ~ Empire

4) JACKIE  4.5 Star Review
 
Clever, beautiful images about a clever, beautiful image-maker. A career-best Natalie Portman channels the spirit of former FLOTUS Jackie O in this ace biopic. ~ Little White Lies

  Online AMAZON (£2.96)
 

 
 
5) THE FUGITIVE  4.5 Star Review
 
Harrison Ford is on fine form as the innocent surgeon who is wrongfully convicted of the murder of his wife and sets off to find the real killer. But the movie is stolen from under his nose by Tommy Lee Jones, who gives an Oscar-winning performance as the marshal doggedly pursuing the wanted man. ~ Radio Times

6) LIKE STARS ON EARTH  4.5 Star Review
 
This is a little twinkling star of a movie. A children's film that has just as much to offer adults as kids. A far cry from the formulaic masala flicks churned out by the Bollywood machine, this sensitive drama tells an inspirational story that is as emotive as it is entertaining ~ BBC

7) PHILOMENA  4 Star Review
 
Judi Dench and Steve Coogan excell in a true-life tale that combines drama and comedy to surprisingly winning effect. ~ Irish Times

   textAMAZON (from £0.41)

 
 
8) A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT  4 Star Review
 
Iranian-American writer-director Ana Lily Amirpour describes her weirdly exhilarating feature debut as the Iranian love-child of Sergio Leone and David Lynch, with Nosferatu as a babysitter. It is a bloody triumph. ~ Mark Kermode, Observer

9) THE DEATH OF STALIN  4 Star Review
 
Armando Iannucci's most impressive feat yet. His brand of political satire is applied to one of the darkest chapters in modern history, with sensational results. "The Lives Of Others" with laughs, it’s farcical, frightening and a timely reminder that things could always be worse." ~ Empire
 
   textNETFLIX
   text AMAZON (£2.49)

 
 
10) HAPPY AS LAZZARO  4 Star Review
 
Alice Rohrwacher’s enigmatic drama is an unsettling and moving satire about the unquestioning toil of peasants’ lives. Her beautiful and mysterious film flowers into something inexpressibly moving, yet also disturbing and unaccountable.  ~ Guardian
