This week, several movies we highlighted when they debuted on-demand are now available on streaming services you might already be paying for. Better Man is now on Paramount+, Moana 2 has finally sailed its way to Disney+, and Kraven the Hunter hits Netflix, now sitting comfortably alongside its fallen comrade Madame Web.
But that's not all — there are still plenty of movies newly available this weekend too.
The surprise Oscar Best Picture contender from Brazil, I'm Still Here, which won Best International Feature Film and earned Fernanda Torres a Best Actress nomination, is out now, as is a Dave Bautista action movie you probably haven't heard of called The Killer's Game, which just hit Starz.
There's also a brand-new horror-comedy debuting simultaneously in theaters and on-demand starring scream queen Samara Weaving and nepo baby Ray Nicholson — Jack Nicholson's son, who also appears in Novocaine, out in theaters this weekend — called Borderline.
A24's Parthenope, the latest art house film from Italian director Paolo Sorrentino, who helmed The Great Beauty, which won Best International Feature Film at the 2014 Academy Awards, makes its way to streaming and on-demand. Daaaaaali!, a comedic surrealist not-quite-biopic about artist Salvador Dalí, the latest from the French absurdist filmmaker Quentin Dupieux, is now streaming on Mubi, which offers a free seven-day trial.
Here's what to know about the movies newly available to stream as of this week and where you can find them.

Parthenope
I'm Still Here is a powerful film that explores the true story of an ordinary family living under fascism in 1970s Brazil. As the country faces the tightening grip of a military dictatorship, Eunice Paiva, a mother of five, must reinvent herself and her family when authorities abduct her husband.
The first half of the movie is a joyous portrayal of the ordinary lives of this tight-knit family, with a fly-on-the-wall approach that allows you to really luxuriate and spend time with these characters. The second half is a devastating look at what happens when that family unit is broken apart for political reasons. It's a story of resilience and trying to move forward in the face of inescapable adversity. Fernanda Torres is absolutely sensational in the lead role, navigating being a mother, a wife — and just a person — amid harrowing personal tragedy and finding joy despite it.
It may not sound like the most fun watch, but it's incredibly moving and even uplifting despite the tough subject matter.

For every big-budget movie Dave Bautista is in, it seems he does another smaller-scale one that goes out with zero awareness, sometimes straight to DVD. The Killer's Game follows movies like Bushwick (2017) and Final Score (2018) in this grand tradition, though it did get a small theatrical release, so maybe Hotel Artemis (2018) is a better comparison.
When top hit man Joe Flood (Bautista) is diagnosed with a terminal illness, he decides to take matters into his own hands — by taking a hit out on himself. But when the very hit men he hired also target his ex-girlfriend, he must fend off an army of assassin colleagues and win back the love of his life before it's too late.
The movie is at its best when it's aping John Wick and less exciting when its tone shifts to something more like Bullet Train. Bautista is a great character actor and continues to bring gravitas to roles that otherwise could have been flat, and he's supported here by tons of actors you'll recognize, including his Guardians of the Galaxy co-star Pom Klementieff, Ben Kingsley, Terry Crews and Sofia Boutella. If you're into action flicks, it's a good enough time.

If you're unfamiliar with the work of prolific French filmmaker Quentin Dupieux, the second most famous director named Quentin currently making movies, Daaaaaali! is an excellent starting point.
Dupieux is himself a surrealist/absurdist, and all of his films fit squarely under those labels, so a 'biopic' about surrealist painter Salvador Dalí was a natural choice, and it's one of his best. It's an incredibly self-aware meta-joke of a movie, full of hilarious bits and dreams within dreams that would play better if they weren't spoiled.
The logline is simply 'A young French journalist repeatedly meets iconic surrealist artist Dalí for a documentary project that never came to be.' Cinema is unlikely to ever see a better pairing of filmmaker and subject.

Borderline is a brand-new horror-comedy that's actually debuting in theaters March 14, the same day it's available on digital.
It features the best performances yet from two budding genre staples, Samara Weaving of Ready or Not fame and Ray Nicholson, who appeared briefly in Smile 2 but was a mainstay on the poster, likely due to the fact that he's Jack Nicholson's son. Also, his face looks a lot like his father's, so when Ray does a scary face, it's quite menacing!
Nicholson flexes that muscle a bit here in the role of a psychopath stalker who does a horror movie-style home invasion on a pop star, played by Weaving.
The movie has some trouble shifting gears from shocking horror to laugh-out-loud comedy, but those tonal issues don't take away from the fact that it's a fun-enough star vehicle for two young performers who have yet to stretch their legs like this before. There's a commitment to the bit here that's commendable and several noteworthy needle drops, including an incredible and unlikely duet of a Celine Dion banger. Those moments, as well as the pure movie star quality exuded by its stars and its overall commitment to the bit, won me over despite some issues with tone and flippancy with regard to Nicholson's character's mental condition.

Parthenope is damn near impossible to effectively describe, but those familiar with the work of Italian filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino can at least get a sense of how it'll look: absolutely gorgeous with well-composed visuals of Italian seascapes, architecture and the human body.
Sorrentino's movies are usually about men and very male desires. This one inverts the formula, centering on a woman, Parthenope, and the effect she has on those around her, men and women alike. It almost plays like a parody of his sensibilities — the way he depicts the admittedly stunning Parthenope (Celeste Dalla Porta), marveling and gawking at her figure but stressing that she's smart too, with a subplot about her studying anthropology.
There's no real plot. We simply watch Parthenope go through life and are meant to ascribe meaning from her interactions with others. Good luck! Even if you don't get much out of the movie, there's no denying it's nice to look at, with some of the most striking photography of the year.
