Taking the prime spot on this weekend's recommended watchlist is *Mother Mary*, a dramatic musical starring Anne Hathaway as a global pop queen named Mary. Facing a critical pivot in her career, the songstress retreats to the quiet English countryside for a week of intense prep ahead of a high-stakes comeback performance. To craft her crucial stage looks, Mary enlists an old associate named Sam, played by Michaela Coel. But the isolated creative retreat does not go smoothly. Sam still carries heavy resentment over uncredited work that originally helped launch Mary to superstardom, not to mention unrequited romantic feelings from their past. Trapped together in rural England, both women end up haunted—both literally and emotionally—by the secrets of their former dynamic.

If a glitzy pop saga is not your vibe, there are plenty of other fresh flicks landing on streaming services right now. Acclaimed director Steven Soderbergh brings moviegoers *The Christophers*, a sharp dark comedy that serves up plenty of signature eccentricities. Thrill-seekers can dive into *Is God Is*, an intense revenge thriller packed with dramatic tension, or turn off the lights for the creepy horror entry *Passenger*. Rounding out the lineup for sports fans is *Novak Djokovic: The Wolf in Winter*, an in-depth documentary exploring the mental toughness and legendary career of the iconic tennis champion. No matter what genre you are craving, your weekend lineup is officially stacked.
