It’s a quiet week again for Digital releases, which isn’t surprising considering the lack of movies out in theaters right now. What is coming to Amazon Video this week, April 12–18, 2021?
There are only two movies getting Digital releases this week. One of them is released on Tuesday, and is going to be more than worth watching if you’re interested in Oscar-nominated movies. The other is released on Friday, and it is coming to theaters at the same time in select locations.
Nomadland is the Tuesday release. Starring Frances McDormand, the movie has been nominated for five Oscars including Best Actress and Best Picture. It’s one we’ve been waiting to come to Amazon Video to check out before the Academy Awards.
The movie follows a woman in her 60s who is left uncertain about her future during the Great Recession. Her job is gone and now her finances are in tatters. Instead of worrying, she decides to travel America, looking for odd jobs along the way. It’s a powerful movie about making the most out of the bad.
Other Digital releases happening this week
There is only one other Digital release this week. Jakob’s Wife is heading to Digital on Friday, April 16.
The horror-comedy movie follows Anne, a woman married to a conservative pastor in a small town. She’s ready to get out of the dull life she lives and away from her neglectful husband, leading to her meeting with an old lover.
All she wants is human connection, but in the end, she encounters an acient being who transforms her life. When she gets home, she is ready to save her marriage.
