David Robert Mitchell's Dinosaur Suburbia and Nine New Titles Hit U.S. Streaming

By Elena Vasquez

David Robert Mitchell's The End of Oak Street, a paranormal thriller that drops a Michigan suburb into the Mesozoic era, leads ten notable titles newly available on U.S. streaming platforms this week. Ewan McGregor, Anne Hathaway, Maisy Stella and Christian Convery star. The film streams now on HBO Max.

The round-up, published weekly by The Film Stage, spans nine platforms and formats — from Netflix premieres to a free, limited-time Vimeo release.

What are the headline titles?

The End of Oak Street opens with a 1982 block party in Flowervale, Michigan, scored by Michael Giacchino. Critic Luke H. describes a cross-epochal event that transports the Platts family — and everyone within a two-mile radius — to the Age of Dinosaurs. His verdict: a "fun forgettable return" for the director.

Sian Heder follows her Best Picture winner CODA with Being Heumann on Apple TV. Critic Alistair R. writes that the disability-rights drama "does a far better job balancing its audience-satisfying instincts with an embedded perspective," calling Heder's earlier film an outsider's view of the deaf community.

Chris Rock's Misty Green arrives on Netflix to the harshest reception of the batch. Critic Jourdain S. calls it "a disaster on all fronts" and "a Hollywood satire with no insight." Rosalind Eleazar plays the title actress; Rock plays a director named Jordan Green.

Which Sundance premieres are now streamable?

Four features from this year's Sundance Film Festival reach home audiences:

• American Doctor (Poh Si Teng, VOD) — follows three doctors, Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, Dr. Thaer Ahmad and Dr. Mark Perlmutter, treating victims in Gaza. Dan Mecca wrote: "Their mission is the mission of all medical professionals: to heal everyone they can."
• Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass (David Wain, Netflix) — a 90-minute Hollywood farce, Wain and screenwriter Ken Marino's third decade of absurdist comedy since Wet Hot American Summer premiered at Sundance in 2001.
• Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty! (Josef Kubota Wladyka, VOD) — the director's third feature, a dance film Blake S. praises for its "surefootedness, consistency, and impeccable timing."
• The Incomer (Louis Paxton, VOD) — a Scottish-isle sibling drama with Gayle Rankin and Grant O'Rourke that, per Dan M., peaks in its extended opening and "never reaches those heights again."

What about genre entries?

David Ayer's The Heart of the Beast (VOD) stars Brad Pitt as a retired Special Forces veteran surviving a plane crash with his combat dog. The critic finds effective set pieces but faults Ayer's "saccharine level of earnestness."

Adrian Chiarella's Leviticus (Hulu) blends the mechanics of It Follows with the trauma of conversion therapy. Devan S. calls the Australian feature debut "a creepy horror picture in its own right."

Don Hertzfeldt's animated short Paper Trail streams free on Vimeo for a limited time, with an original score by Naomi Alligator — described as one of his most gut-punching works since ME.

What else landed on the platforms?

MUBI added thirteen titles, including Man of Iron, Man of Marble, Sweet Smell of Success and The Delinquents. Netflix added the documentary Avedon. VOD added Atonement and Other Mommy.

The week's pattern is clear: streamers are absorbing festival premieres faster than ever, putting four Sundance 2026 titles and a NYFF premiere — Misty Green — within reach of subscribers before the year closes.
