The Perfect Couple on Netflix taps into the now-familiar blend of drama, mystery, and glamour, focusing on the ultra-wealthy, much like Big Little Lies or The Undoing. Set on the scenic and affluent island of Nantucket, the show centers on Amelia Sacks, played by Eve Hewson, who is on the verge of marrying into the powerful Winbury family. Her future mother-in-law, Greer Garrison Winbury, portrayed by the ever-dominant Nicole Kidman, is a famous novelist with a perfectionist streak. Greer’s lavish plans for the wedding are upended when a body turns up on the beach, setting off a domino effect of secrets, scandals, and revelations.

Oz Perkins' Longlegs is a chilling foray into the dark world of serial killers, occult mysteries, and the psychological toll of hunting the inexplicable. Starring Maika Monroe as FBI Agent Lee Harker and Nicolas Cage as the enigmatic Longlegs, the film crafts an atmosphere of dread that lingers long after the credits roll. Though it wears its influences on its sleeve—most notably Silence of the Lambs and the works of David Fincher—it manages to carve out its own unique place within the genre.

Thelma is a delightful and surprisingly poignant film that blends the heartwarming with the adrenaline-pumping, offering a fresh take on the action genre through the eyes of a 93-year-old protagonist. Directed with a blend of humor and heart by Josh Margolin, and based on his actual grandmother’s story, the film follows Thelma Post, played by the incomparable June Squibb, as she embarks on a daring quest across Los Angeles to reclaim the $10,000 stolen from her by a con artist. What could have easily been a gimmicky premise instead turns into a moving exploration of resilience, family, friendship, and the determination to fight back, no matter the odds.
