Ever thought about diving into the world of crime dramas? Well, you are in luck! February 2025 is your month to discover three amazing movies on Max. These films are not only entertaining but also make you think deeply. Let start with a contemporary gem, Kimi. This movie revolves around a young woman suffering from agoraphobia—she's scared to go outside. She picks up clues of a crime while listening to her smart home device. Zoe Kravitz does a fantastic job in the lead role. Director Steven Soderbergh, known for his Oscar win, does not disappoint with his usual clever and inventive storytelling. It is a great way to feel the suspense. Moving on, The Fallout is a poignant story that hits close to home. It follows two young girls who become best friends after surviving a school shooting. The movie focuses on how they cope with the trauma that changes their lives forever. Maddie Ziegler and Jenna Ortega deliver powerful performances that keep the story moving and your attention. It is a bit heavy, but it is worth it. Lastly, let's travel back to 1986 with Blue Velvet. It is a unique film by David Lynch, where a college student played by Kyle MacLachlan unravels a dark mystery in his seemingly perfect town. This film is quite thought-provoking and asks questions that might keep you up at night. However, it is a must-watch for any fan of suspenseful storytelling. All three films can be watched on Max, so grab some popcorn and prepare for a thrilling movie night!
