Prime Video has announced its slate of original movies for this fall and winter, and there are several fascinating films to choose from.
There's the Sylvester Stallone superhero movie Samaritan, Lena Dunham's medieval comedy Catherine Called Birdy, the Harry Styles and Emma Corrin-led My Policeman, and much more. Some of the movies (such as My Policeman) are getting theatrical runs before they're available for streaming on Prime Video. Others are exclusively streaming on Prime — we've noted both release dates, when applicable, in our list below
Here's every original movie coming to Prime Video this fall.
Top pick: Nanny
Aisha (Anna Diop) is an undocumented Senegalese single mother trying to build a new life for her young son by working as a nanny to a rich and entitled couple in Manhattan. Day and night, she is run ragged by this fraught family's demands, racist microaggressions, and outright avarice. But not even sleep gives her rest, as strange nightmares of sneering doppelgängers, creeping spiders, and mythical creatures haunt her. Before long, they begin to creep into her waking hours, too. Are they a warning or a threat? Can she make out their murky message in time?
In her feature film debut, writer/director Nikyatu Jusu employs folklore and surreal horror to turn the all-too-real struggles of immigrant mothers into a vividly haunting thriller. A story of contrasts and conflict, Aisha's humble home and cheerful community explodes with bold colors, while the apartment of her employer is a draining sprawl of grays. In costume and attitude, a captivating Diop reveals the code-switching required in surviving as a nanny. Her eyes flash with righteous fury as the leering lens of nanny-cams pop up around her. A score of skittering bugs and human groans plays as a perfect backdrop to a downward spiral, slippery and spooky. With a climax that hits as hard as a tidal wave, Nanny is a crowd-pleaser. It's little wonder it took home the U.S. Grand Jury Prize in the Dramatic Competition slate at Sundance. Whether you relish thoughtful character studies or the treacherous terrains found in horror, you'll want to seek this one out. — Kristy Puchko, Deputy Entertainment Editor (*)
