Exciting New Additions to Max
Thanks to a new multi-year licensing agreement between A24 and HBO, many A24 films are now available on Max (formerly known as HBO Max). This deal is bringing some great titles into the streaming platform’s already impressive library. Recently, some new films have caught fire, with The Brutalist being a standout, topping Max’s streaming charts after its debut.
Three New A24 Films Coming in July
This July, Max will be adding three of A24’s newest releases: On Becoming a Guinea Fowl (July 4), Opus (July 11), and Death of a Unicorn (July 25). These films will also premiere on HBO three days later, giving fans a chance to catch them if they missed the theater releases. Each film comes with a talented cast and unique storylines, making them great picks for any movie lover.
On Becoming a Guinea Fowl
On Becoming a Guinea Fowl is a black comedy that you won’t want to miss. It currently holds a 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, signaling that it has been well-received by critics. The plot revolves around a family’s funeral for an uncle, which surprisingly unveils long-buried family secrets. Directed by Rungano Nyoni, known for her previous work on I Am Not a Witch, this film dives deep into family dynamics while blending humor with touching moments. It’s also notable for winning Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival in the "Un Certain Regard" category. If you’re looking for a film that combines wit and emotion, this is a must-watch!
Death of a Unicorn
Next up is Death of a Unicorn, another film that made waves earlier this year. It features an impressive cast, including Jenna Ortega, Paul Rudd, Will Poulter, and Richard E. Grant. In this dark comedy, a father-daughter duo, Elliot (played by Rudd) and Ridley (played by Ortega), accidentally run over a unicorn while driving to a weekend retreat at Elliot’s boss’s estate. What follows is a chaotic and entertaining plot filled with imaginative and darkly comedic elements. This film promises plenty of laughs alongside its quirky premise.
Opus
Finally, Opus takes a turn into thriller territory. The film stars Ayo Edebiri as a young writer who visits the secluded compound of a pop star, portrayed by John Malkovich, who vanished 30 years ago. As the story unfolds, it reveals that this reclusive pop star has a creation that impacts all the guests in ways they never imagined. If you’re into suspenseful plots, this film could be a thrilling addition to your watchlist.
