As a huge film enthusiast, I’m thrilled we’ve reached the halfway point of the year, providing an excellent opportunity to catch up on some fantastic movies that have been released so far. Among those that have left a lasting impression on me are the following five gems, now available for streaming or renting at home!
As we move into July, the heat is in full swing and you may be seeking refuge from it all on your couch. Moreover, we’ve reached the midpoint of the year, making this an ideal moment to make up for any missed films from the first six months that can now be conveniently watched or streamed at home. Here are five noteworthy titles from the initial half of 2024 that are currently available for your streaming pleasure!
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
As a fan, I’d describe it this way:
Number 3: Contenders
Location: Streaming on VOD platforms
Description: Directed by Luca Guadagnino, this movie centers around three tennis players and their intricate connections throughout the years. The ensemble includes Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connor. This thought-provoking drama masterfully weaves a non-linear narrative while generating suspense through a pivotal game in the film. I was captivated by the film’s haunting score, stunning visuals, and intense acting. This stands out as one of the top films released this year.
No. 2: Civil War
Where to Find It: Available on VOD
About: This film is about an America torn apart by ideological division that has devolved into civil war. That’s a fascinating subject for a film in 2024, and this one hits hard. It feels even more timely in the present moment. It comes from Alex Garland, the English filmmaker and novelist who gave us Ex Machina and Annihilation. The film follows journalists embedded on the front lines and features excellent performances from Kirsten Dunst and Cailee Spaeny. It’s one of my favorite films of the year so far.
