New to Kanopy! For your Friday night movie, stream Hamlet (2025), a contemporary South Asian adaptation from Academy Award–winning director Aneil Karia and award-winning actor Riz Ahmed.

Emotional and intense, the film follows a grieving son as he confronts betrayal, corruption, and the unraveling of his own sanity.

(Tip: If you're looking for more of a period piece, try the 2024 adaption with Ian McKellen).

Staff pick! Allison recommends 'Into the Blue' by Emma Brodie:

"A heart wrenching, beautiful love story with characters that jump off the page. The story follows AJ and Noah and their decade-spanning relationship first as friends and then acting partners. Not a rom-com, but an emotional, complex, sometimes frustrating, love story. A book I couldn’t stop thinking about that is guaranteed to make my best of 2026 list. For fans of Romantic Comedy (Curtis Sittenfeld), Tomorrow & Tomorrow & Tomorrow (Gabrielle Zevin), and Daisy Jones & the Six (Taylor Jenkins Reid)."
