We have gathered everything that is coming to streaming services this week, including Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV+, Threenow, Neon and TVNZ+.
Happiness (Threenow, April 3)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6VXGFEX9LE
In happiness, Aotearoa’s first musical comedy, Harry McNaughton of Shortland Street, is Charlie Summers, a reluctantly returning Broadway director, kissed by the sun, Tauranga, after a controversial accident on one of his shows. With the local amateur musical theater society fighting before his own opening night, the aspiring type of Lin-Manuel Miranda is tied in aid. Joining McNaughton is a star cast that includes Rebecca Gibney, Jessie Lawrence, Maaka Pōhatu and Bronwyn Bradley. With cheerful musical numbers and deaf divas, updated happiness seems to be a chaotically charming story about reconnecting with the roots of your hometown.
Asb Polyfest: The Untold Legacy (TVNZ+, April 1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YVDYEMC6JY
AS THE CHERISHED FESTIVAL APPROACHES ITS 50th Year, FORMER POLYFEST PERFORMER TURNED TVNZ BROADCASTER Stewart Goes Behind The Scenes To Trace Its Humble Origins and Explore The Community Sacrifices That Have Kept The Festival Alive Since 1976. Rātana, The World’s Largeth Polynesian Cultural Festival is more than just an event, but “A promise to the next generation that their stories, their tongues and their cultures will always have a place to shine.” Be sure to tune into this special illuminator.
The stolen children of Aotearoa (Whakaata Maori, March 31)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrpmvvlq-e
In Aotearoa’s stolen children, journalist Aaron Smale and filmmaker Julian Arahanga illuminate a dark chapter in our history; The systemic and estimated abuse of 250,000 children in state care institutions. Numerous survivors talk about their lost childhood and the prolonged struggle for justice, while the film intertwines its testimonies with the colonial origins of this atrocity. Confronting the state’s systemic failures with firsthand reports of abuse and their repercussions throughout life, Aotearoa’s stolen children will be painful and essential visualization.
Mobland (Video Prime, March 31)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKGW7OB5F4
Director Guy Ritchie, the King of the Cockney Underworld, joins Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren to Mobland, a bloody thriller. A man of few words, the street hardy is captured between the powerful struggle of Kill-Roi-Foi-Being of two London criminal families in London. Forced to choose where their loyalties are and risking swimming with the fish, Mobland will surely be a little -blooded joke like Snatch and the gentleman.
Dying for sex (Disney+, April 4)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4wacoj5bvo
Based on the life of Molly Kochan and the acclaimed podcast of the same name, dying for sex follows a gen-X woman who, after being diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, leaves her marriage unsatisfactory to enjoy as much sex that she can physically deal before she dies. Starring Michelle Williams nominated by the Oscar as Kochan, dying for sex was called “Casually innovative in your heterosexual sex treatment” and a series that stands out “Direct opposition to most American television ancestors who love the program.” Comedy drama is not fifty shades of gray, but a story of affirmation of life on sexual freedom and self-updating.
Choice of movies: a mistake (neon, April 4)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr0d5-zehi0
After a 16 -year -old hiatus, Pōneke’s director Christine Jeffs (blow, rain), she returns with a mistake, “An exciting exploration of the field of medicine and the human side of patient care.” The film, an adaptation of the novel by Carl Shuker, by Ockham-Shortliste, starred Elizabeth Banks as a distinct surgeon in a hospital in Tāmaki Makauau. During a routine procedure, she makes a fatal error and her life begins to dispose of a public relations crisis. If you can look at the unfortunate attempt of the seats of a kiwi accent, one error is the heart visualization.
