After delivering one of the best breakthrough performances in recent years in the Safdies’ Uncut Gems, Julia Fox is back in her first follow-up role. Ben Hozie’s Pvt Chat, which premiered at Fantasia Fest last year, is psychosexual noir following Fox’s character, who plays a cam girl that forms a bond with a client. Now set for an early February release, the first trailer and poster have arrived.
“A complicated and messy film that plays with ideas of eroticism in the digital age, Pvt Chat is repulsive, alluring, and darkly comedic,” Mike Mazzanti said in his Fantasia Fest coverage. “The film focuses obsessively on Jack, a self-absorbed, pseudo-intellectual online gambler whose primary means of human connection is with cam models. His self-aggrandizement is where the film gets the bulk of its repulsion. One model, Scarlett, played by a pitch-perfect Julia Fox, becomes the center of his fixations. Through...

With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options — not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves — we’ve taken it upon ourselves to highlight the titles that have recently hit platforms. Every week, one will be able to see the cream of the crop (or perhaps some simply interesting picks) of streaming titles (new and old) across platforms such as Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, and more (note: U.S. only). Check out our rundown for this week’s selections below.
Certain Women (Kelly Reichardt)
The cinema of Kelly Reichardt lives in quiet, tender observations with deeply rooted characters and location. Even when adding a thriller element as with her last feature, the overlooked Night Moves, her style is never compromised. Her latest feature, Certain Women, is a loosely connected three-part drama adapted from the short stories of Maile Meloy. It’s perhaps the purest distillation of her sensibilities yet...

Brad’s Status (Mike White)
Brad’s (Ben Stiller) son is about to embark on college. It’s the type of auspicious life marker to make anyone look back and question the journey they’ve taken thus far. Has Brad done enough? Lived up to the potential he felt he possessed? Or was he passed by? All of his old Tufts friends are rich, famous, successful, and/or happy...
