At the beginning of (and throughout) every month, Amazon Prime and Amazon Instant Video add new movies and TV shows to their libraries. Some of these may also have previously been on Amazon, only to have been removed and then added back. For more comprehensive coverage of the best titles available on Amazon and elsewhere, check out Vulture’s What to Stream Now hub, which is updated throughout the month.
Arrested development:Â Young Adult (2011)
Charlize Theron plays a writer who’s not quite as successful as she wants to be and who returns to her hometown to “save†her ex-boyfriend (Patrick Wilson) in Jason Reitman’s dark comedy, which was written by Diablo Cody. As a popular girl who never grew out of the framework of high school, Theron turns in a performance that crosses the line from unlikeable into being deeply, humanly — and for lack of a better word — effed up. This isn’t a standard redemption tale, and no one learns much of anything, which makes it a lot like life. Available September 1.
Famous fiascos: Heaven’s Gate (1980)
Years after its release, Michael Cimino’s famously expensive Western flop has become the subject of some critical reevaluation, even as the film itself brought down United Artists studio. Whether or not you enjoy the film depends on your tastes for the self-consciously epic, and your willingness to sit through nearly four hours’ worth of people wandering around in dust. Available September 1.
Four-eyed, but cannot see:Â One Mississippi (Season 1)
Tig Notaro’s semiautobiographical comedy dives into her experience returning from California to the South, dealing with the death of her mother, and recovering from a double mastectomy while coping with an intestinal disease. Despite, or because of, the circumstances, the series has its share of well-observed comedy, often delivered with confidence by Notaro herself, who colors the material with wry and melancholy wisdom. Available September 9.
Good-bye, “moppaâ€: Transparent (Season 3)
The Pfeffermans remain as moving and infuriating as ever in the latest season of Transparent, which arrives a few months earlier than usual. The series will dive deeper into Maura’s past this season. Also, if you were worried about losing Jill Soloway repertory player Kathryn Hahn, fear not: Rabbi Raquel is still very much in the picture. Available September 23.
Woody Allen does TV:Â Crisis in Six Scenes (Season 1)
Woody Allen, whose presence comes with all sorts of baggage about sexual-abuse allegations that may preclude your interest in any of his projects, takes on television with the help of Miley Cyrus, Elaine May, John Magaro, and Rachel Brosnahan, and a series that tracks the upheaval of the 1960s. Allen himself wrote and directed every episode, which, from the looks of the trailer, appear to be exclusively about barber shops. Available September 30.Â
