🎯 Streaming Picks

Quick takes on what’s worth checking out when you’re short on time but craving something new.

🎥 Left-Handed Girl

A haunting, understated movie about isolation and subtle power shifts. Quiet but potent.

A funny, chaotic, culturally specific film that mines family tension for full cringe and full laughs.

🎥 The Thinking Game

An elegant, intimate documentary from DeepMind about human-AI collaboration and the nature of thought itself.

📺 Watch it here:

🏓 Marty Supreme

Directed by Josh Safdie, this highly stylized table tennis drama stars Timothée Chalamet as a rising sports star in 1950s New York. Between its dazzling craft and period detail, it raises great conversation about competition, image, and identity.

📜 The Testament of Ann Lee

This meditative documentary explores the history and philosophy of Ann Lee, the founder of the Shakers. With a calm pace and introspective tone, the film looks at belief systems, community, and control.
