Streaming Roulette, January: Being the Lost Daughter of the Manor
Tuesday, January 4, 2022 at 7:45PM
NATHANIEL R in Aaron Sorkin, Being the Ricardos, Javier Bardem, Melanie Lynskey, Streaming Roulette, The Lost Daughter, The Matrix Resurrections, streaming

What's streaming in January? You know the drill by now. We pick a handful of titles and freeze them on the scroll bar at a random place (no cheating) and share what came up. Let's go.

[Crying in distance]

The Lost Daughter (2021) on Netflix
It's apt that our streaming roulette landed on this image of Leda (Jessie Buckley) ignoring her children. The discourse about this movie has been weirdly reductive and centered on freaking out that she's a "bad mother". I have no idea what ot make of this film's Oscar chances. Critics have been kind but it's an irritable confrontational movie i.e. not what Oscar usually goes for. And Netflix has soooo much on their plate in terms of Best Picture

Contrary to popular belief, women of the time had the tongues of filthy sailors.

The Lady of the Manor (2021) on Amazon Prime
If Yellowjackets has reminded you what a perpetual delight Melanie Lynskey is (omg Yellowjackets is good - are you watching?) she has a new comedy in which she's paired with Judy Greer.

Desire and fear baby. Just give the people what they want.

The Matrix Resurrections (2021) on HBOMax
We've already shared brief thoughts on this movie here but did you enjoy its ultra-meta quality? As if Lana Wachowski is commenting on the making of the movie even more than actually making it? Cheers to her for pitching both Jonathan Groff and Neil Patrick Harris as evil gays, though. LOL

Olé´Olé Olé

Being the Ricardos (2021) on Amazon Prime
Javier Bardem hasn't been getting much attention other than arguments about casting a Spaniard as a Cuban but one thing he did remind us of in this picture is how insanely charismatic he is. People are really mad at this movie for myriad reasons (a couple of which it deserves but mostly just because it's an easy target and people like to be mad) and it makes you wonder if the problem is Aaron Sorkin Overdosing. A little of him goes a long way and it's been less than a year since Trial of the Chicago 7's Oscar run.

THAT'S MUCH LESS OF A SELECTION THAN WE USUALLY DO BUT MORE STREAMING TITLES FOLLOW... ANY REQUESTS FOR COVERAGE?
