91Ƶ Daisy Ridley stars as the trailblazing deep sea swimmer Trudy Ederle in a very well made and inspiring sports drama that harkens back to the live-action movies Disney used to make in the early 91Ƶ90s like 91ƵWild Hearts Can91Ƶt Be Broken.91Ƶ 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.

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 O91ƵBrien) drifter. that it 91Ƶgives Stewart a vivid noir sandbox where all of her talent for obsession, desire and rage finds its gnarliest expression yet.91Ƶ The latter is a documentary in which the son of Nazi commandant Rudolf Höss (also the subject of the Oscar-winning ) reckons with his family91Ƶs past.

91Ƶ And finally Prime Video has the sequel in which Dave Bautista91Ƶs CIA agent JJ accompanies Sophie (Chloe Coleman) on a school trip to Italy where they get caught up in a terrorist plot.
