Movies You Shouldn't Miss on HBO in May 2021
1. Tenet

At last, Tenet is coming to HBO Max (even though Christopher Nolan isn’t such a fan of the streaming service). I was mixed on Tenet when I saw it in theaters, but I’ve grown to appreciate the film since revisiting it. It’s a bit muddled, and the characters are kind of flat, but man oh man does Nolan know how to stage thrilling, mind-bending action sequences, reported Slash Film.
2. Barry Lyndon

Everyone has their own personal favorite Stanley Kubrick movie, and mine is Barry Lyndon, which I honestly think is Kubrick’s masterpiece. The story of an Irish rogue who works his way up through society, Barry Lyndon is hypnotic in the way it unfolds its story – deliberately and mysteriously. Full of gorgeous naturally-lit cinematography meant to resemble classic paintings, there’s nothing else out there like this.
3. Jackie Brown

It’s crazy to think that Quentin Tarantino made Jackie Brown so early in his career, because it feels like the work of a much older man looking back on his life. A funny, melancholy crime caper that’s really about getting too damn old, I honestly think the case can be made that Jackie Brown is Tarantino’s best movie, although my opinion on that seems to change weekly.
4. Mortal Kombat

If you were hoping to catch the original Mortal Kombat on HBO Max movie before watching the new one, you can’t. At least not yet. The awful Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is streaming there, but not the original. Thankfully, that’s going to change next month. Paul W.S. Anderson‘s video game flick isn’t great – in fact, it’s kind of dumb! But it’s also incredibly entertaining and features a banger of a soundtrack. Scream it with me now: MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!!
5. The Personal History Of David Copperfield

This delightful adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic had the misfortune of arriving during the pandemic, so not a lot of people saw it. Thankfully that can soon change! Armando Iannucci (Veep) finds the warmth and humor inherent Dickens’s writing and creates a costume flick that’s anything but stuffy.
