Movies streaming this weekend: Netflix’s dark Irish comedy, Starz film, more

Netflix’s dark Irish comedy just premiered, and this weekend‘s movies streaming lineup is packed with critical darlings. From February 13 to February 15, five must-watch films arrive while major shows like ‘Dark Winds’ Season 4 returns on AMC+. Here’s what’s unmissable.

Netflix’s ‘How to Get to Heaven from Belfast’ Is the Dark Comedy Everyone’s Talking About

‘How to Get to Heaven from Belfast’ is making waves immediately after its Thursday release. The 8-episode mystery thriller from Lisa McGee, creator of beloved Irish series ‘Derry Girls’, has already earned a 93% Rotten Tomatoes score and critical acclaim.

The series follows three childhood friends, played by Roísín Gallagher, Sinéad Keenan, and Caoilfhionn Dunne, who reunite to investigate the mysterious death of a former school friend. It blends dark comedy with clever mystery plotting, proving McGee has struck lightning twice.

Valentine’s Day Streaming Gifts: ‘Blue Moon’ and ‘Good Fortune’ Lead the Pack

This Saturday, February 14, two major releases hit streaming simultaneously. ‘Blue Moon’, Richard Linklater‘s Oscar-nominated portrait of Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart, debuts on Netflix with Ethan Hawke delivering his career-best performance.

Meanwhile, Starz launches ‘Good Fortune’, a comedy-fantasy directed by Aziz Ansari in his feature directorial debut. The film stars Keanu Reeves as Gabriel, a bumbling angel who meddles in the lives of Aziz Ansari‘s struggling gig worker and Keke Palmer‘s wealthy venture capitalist.

Title	Platform	Release Date	Lead Cast
How to Get to Heaven from Belfast	Netflix	Feb 12	Gallagher, Keenan, Dunne
Blue Moon	Netflix	Feb 14	Ethan Hawke
Good Fortune	Starz	Feb 14	Reeves, Ansari, Rogen
Predator: Badlands	Hulu	Feb 13	Elle Fanning

“‘How to Get to Heaven from Belfast’ looks to be a fitting companion series to “Derry Girls,” with its focus on female perspectives and shared Irish setting, combined with the same unrestrained and lightly screwball comedic spirit.”

Hulu’s ‘Predator: Badlands’ Proves Elle Fanning Is a Movie Star in Action Genre

‘Predator: Badlands’ arrives on Hulu with major critical praise. The PG-13 sci-fi action film from director Dan Trachtenberg features Elle Fanning as Thia, a broken android who helps a young Predator prove itself as an intergalactic hunter.

Trachtenberg has earned franchise respect with three standout Predator films in just three years. This weekend, audiences discover why his unique storytelling approach has reinvigorated a 40-year-old franchise.
