As we approach the summer of 2021, with countless cinemas across the world still shuttered and the future uncertain, Netflix—exceeding all expectations—continues to roll out hit after hit. Up next? A psychological chiller featuring Amy Adams and Julianne Moore, a miniseries chronicling the life of a fashion icon, and the return of two binge-worthy shows that proved to be essential quarantine viewing the first time around. These are the five releases to add to your watch list now.
A distressed Amy Adams plays an agoraphobic child psychologist who watches her neighbours through the windows of her New York brownstone in Joe Wright’s twisty horror movie. She makes a new friend (Julianne Moore), but then witnesses her being attacked, after which her cloistered existence unravels entirely. The supporting cast is stellar (Gary Oldman, Anthony Mackie, Brian Tyree Henry and Jennifer Jason Leigh) and the powerful sense of claustrophobia undeniably timely.
