Watch List Weekly Recap 4/29/22
Life after Netflix, a guide to streaming services, and three new movies for the weekend.
This is the Friday recap of Ty Burr’s Watch List postings for the week. If you’d like to receive this weekly email ONLY, please go to your account page and under “Email notifications” uncheck every box except “Weekly Digest.” If you’d prefer to not receive it at all, uncheck just “Weekly Digest.”
Just two posts this week. On Tuesday I mulled over the fate of Netflix in the wake of last week’s subscriber/stock tumble, asked you to ask yourself whether you really need the service, and provided an overview of the major streaming platforms available to consumers. Hopefully this will make things clearer or at the very least remind you about the VOD services you’ve forgotten you subscribe to.
The Friday What to Watch pointed you to the HBO/HBO Max premiere of “The Survivor,” a true story in which Ben Foster gives an electrifying performance as a boxer carrying a heavy load of Holocaust guilt. Plus, two new movies in theaters: The putatively charming “Anaïs in Love” (above) and the actually charming “The Duke.”
Thanks for reading! Feel free to pass Ty Burr’s Watch List along to your friends.
