Monday Streaming: Mile End Kicks, Dumb Money & More - Jul 13
Monday is here, and while the weekend delivered plenty of strong streaming options, there's a fresh crop of titles landing today to kick off the week. Leading the charge is a critically acclaimed indie that charmed audiences at TIFF and now finds its streaming home on Netflix.
Headliner: Mile End Kicks on Netflix
The standout new release of the day is Mile End Kicks, a warm Canadian coming-of-age romantic comedy starring Barbie Ferreira (Euphoria) as Grace, a 24-year-old music critic who moves to Montreal to write a book about Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill — and finds herself entangled with the members of an indie band. Written and directed by Chandler Levack (I Like Movies), the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2025 to strong reviews. It holds an 87% score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 77 Metacritic, with critics praising Ferreira as "a true movie star" and the film's affectionate portrait of early-2010s indie rock culture. Jay Baruchel, Devon Bostick, and Stanley Simons round out the cast. It's a funny, sincere pick for anyone looking to ease into the week with good company on screen.
Weekend Standouts
Elle — Prime Video's Legally Blonde prequel continues to generate conversation. Set in 1990s Seattle, the series follows a young Elle Woods as she navigates law school before the pink persona took over. Lexi Minetree steps into the role originated by Reese Witherspoon with charm to spare, and the show has earned strong streaming numbers since its July 1 debut. Catch it on Elle's page for more details.
Enola Holmes 3 — Millie Bobby Brown returns for another mystery in the popular Netflix franchise. The threequel follows Enola as she takes on a case that pits her against old rivals and pushes her detective skills to their limits. It arrived July 1 and has been one of Netflix's most-watched titles this month. Find Enola Holmes 3 on the site for streaming links.
Hamnet — Paul Mescal gives a quietly devastating performance in this period drama based on Maggie O'Farrell's celebrated novel. The film, now streaming on Netflix, follows Shakespeare's family through the loss of his son — a story rooted more in grief than literary greatness. It landed on July 6 and is worth seeking out if you missed its theatrical run.
