This week’s new movies on VOD include the newly-released film version of Merrily We Roll Along, the Stephen Sondheim musical starring Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez, along with the newest movie in the SpongeBob canon.
Also out this week is the documentary Mr. Nobody Against Putin, about a Russian named Pavel Talankin who secretly filmed meetings and daily life at the Russian school he worked at in order to reveal the government’s propaganda and militarization of their curriculum. The film has garnered tons of attention and acclaim, and won the Special Jury Award at the Sundance Film Festival.
These are just a few of the films that are available to watch on Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, YouTube, and through your cable service this week. Check out what movies are available to buy or rent on demand now.
Merrily We Roll Along is a tale told in reverse chronological order about the lives of three friends, one of whom, Franklin Shepard (Jonathan Groff), is a talented composer of musicals who slowly abandons his friends to become a big time Hollywood producer. This newly-released version of the Stephen Sondheim classic is a filmed version of the 2023 Broadway revival, and co-stars Daniel Radcliffe, Lindsay Mendez, and Krystal Joy Brown. (This film is not to be confused with a second version directed by Richard Linklater which is currently in production and will actually be filmed over the course of twenty years and co-stars Paul Mescal, Beanie Feldstein and Ben Platt.)
