August streaming highlights: the final season of 'Outer Banks,' Anthony Hopkins' debut album, and Anne Hathaway's 'Mother Mary'. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.

Anne Hathaway's Year

Anne Hathaway's prolific year at the movies did not start with 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' or 'The Odyssey,' but with 'Mother Mary,' David Lowery's experimental film about a pop star (Hathaway) and her estranged designer (Michaela Coel). In his review for the AP, Film Writer Jake Coyle called it "a fitfully spellbinding chamber drama that grows more operatic with every stitch," adding that "Hathaway makes not just a believable pop star but an indelible portrait of an artist's ego in extremes." But, Coyle wrote, "the movie belongs to Coel ... 'Mother Mary' is the story of an exorcism, and she's the exorcist." It debuts on HBO Max on Friday.

'The Christophers'

Coel also stars in one of the year's best two-handers, 'The Christophers,' which arrives on Hulu on Saturday. Written by Ed Solomon and directed by Steven Soderbergh, the film is a kind of heist movie in disguise, in which a pair of wannabe heirs (James Corden and Jessica Gunning) hire a restoration specialist and sometimes forger (Coel) to covertly finish a series of paintings by their famous father Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen). In the AP review, it was described as "a meditation on art, legacy, creativity and the oh-so-touchy subject of who has the right to critique."

'She Dances'

Steve Zahn and his daughter Audrey star in 'She Dances' as a father and daughter reconnecting after tragedy on the way to a dance competition. It's also a 'Reality Bites' reunion with Ethan Hawke. Directed by Rick Gomez, the film received warm reviews out of the Tribeca Film Festival and is set to debut on Peacock on Friday.

Anthony Hopkins' Album

Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins will release his debut album, 'Life Is a Dream,' Friday via Decca Records. Conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra and recorded at London's Alexandra Palace in April, the album is a 12-track collection of classical compositions crafted over six decades.

Other Releases
