New Movies on VOD: Late Bloomers, Back to Black, and The Strangers: Chapter 1
Late Bloomers is a dramedy starring Karen Gillan as Louise, a directionless 20-something who experiences a life-altering event when she breaks her hip after a night of heavy drinking. To aid in her recovery, an older Polish woman named Margaret is hired as her caretaker. Through their interactions, Louise gains a fresh perspective on life. The film also features Jermaine Fowler, Talian Balsam, and Kevin Nealon in supporting roles.
Back to Black is a controversial biopic that delves into the life of Amy Winehouse. Marisa Abela portrays the late singer, tracing her journey from aspiring artist to international success with her iconic album, “Back to Black,” released in 2006. Directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, the film has generated mixed reactions, with some considering it a respectful tribute while others view it as exploitative.
The Strangers: Chapter 1 marks the beginning of a new trilogy within The Strangers franchise. The story follows a young couple, played by Madelaine Petsch and Froy Gutierrez, who find themselves being stalked by a trio of masked strangers during their stay in a rental house. Chapter 2, filmed concurrently with the first installment, is set to be released later this year and will feature Petsch once again.
