What’s Streaming
GET DUKED! (2019) Stream on Amazon. Three troublemaking teenagers and a strait-laced loner head out on a character-building camping excursion in the Scottish Highlands — what could go wrong? In this film, from the music-video director Ninian Doff, the boys encounter trouble in the form of a homicidal couple (played by Eddie Izzard and Georgie Glen) armed and hellbent on maintaining “the integrity of the species.” In her New York Times review, Manohla Dargis wrote that “the movie is loud, busy and cheerfully glib, though at one point — after the weapons and politics have been brandished — it takes a brief turn to sincerity.”
ALL TOGETHER NOW (2020) Stream on Netflix. This film, based on Matthew Quick’s novel “Sorta Like a Rock Star,” follows Amber Appleton (Auli’i Cravalho), a musically gifted teenager who dreams of attending Carnegie Mellon University. As an overachiever, she seems to have high school life figured out, juggling school fund-raisers, her job at a doughnut shop and volunteer work. But away from school and her extracurricular activities, Amber and her mother are struggling financially and living out of a bus depot. When she encounters a series of setbacks that threaten her college dreams, she learns to lean on others in her life including friends, young and old, and a teacher (Fred Armisen, Carol Burnett and Rhenzy Feliz) rather than shoulder the burden on her own. “The movie’s familiar suggestion of music as a light in the darkness works primarily because its star shines so brightly,” Kyle Turner wrote of Cravalho in his New York Times review.
THE BINGE (2020) Stream on Hulu. “The Purge” and its various franchise spinoffs explore an American dystopia in which all crime is legal once a year. This film has a similar but slightly more absurd premise: set in an alternate America where all drugs and alcohol are illegal, except for a 12-hour window every year. Despite warnings from various adults about the dangers of drugs and alcohol (including a high school principal played by Vince Vaughn), three teenagers set out to attend a wild party commemorating the annual binge, encountering drinking games and psychedelic-laced burritos along the way.
