3 films on Prime Video worth watching this month

Calendar 5/12/2026

Prime Video is adding a few very interesting films this month for fans of intense cinema, dramas, and unconventional stories. Among the most intriguing offerings is an atmospheric immigration drama, a new film by Wes Anderson, and an emotional tale about family issues and mental health crises.

The Immigrant returns as one of the strongest dramas of recent years

The Immigrant is a powerful drama telling the story of a young woman trying to start a new life in America at the beginning of the 20th century. The film captivates with the atmosphere of old New York, stunning cinematography, and a very emotional story about survival, loneliness, and manipulation. The production has been particularly praised for Marion Cotillard's performance and its heavy, realistic tone. The second major premiere is The Phoenician Scheme, which is a new project from Wes Anderson. The director once again relies on his distinctive visual style, symmetrical frames, and eccentric characters. The film mixes elements of comedy, drama, and crime, and early reviews suggest it could be one of the most interesting art house cinema releases of the year.

ChooseTV focuses on emotions and family drama

The third film worth noting is Seagrass. It's a more intimate production that centres on family relationships, depression, and the emotional struggles of the main character. The film stands out for its calm pace, very natural acting, and a strongly melancholic atmosphere. Seagrass may not be as high-profile as Anderson's new film, but it has received very good reviews for its realistic portrayal of mental health crises and family tensions. It’s a suggestion more for those looking for quieter, more emotional cinema.
