Adam Driver’s ‘Annette’ made waves when it premiered. Now it’s coming to streaming. Here’s how to watch the film as well as it’s trailers and cast.
Is this what a fever dream is like? Movie musicals have experienced a significant comeback in the past few years. Moreover, the format works across multiple genres, from the Oscar bait A Star Is Born to popcorn-fun In the Heights and streaming hits like Hamilton. But the latest movie musical coming to big and small screens is yet a fourth type of film: the arthouse flick. According to all reviews out of Cannes, Adam Driver’s Annette is arty, bizarre, and bombastic, a kooky oddball of a film that fans of the actor should not miss. Driver plays Henry McHenry, a stand-up comedian with a massive following, whose shows pack arena-sized venues. He falls in love with Ann Defrasnoux, played by Academy Award-winner Marion Cotillard, a world-renowned opera singer. The two become a Bennifer-like couple, living their lives loudly in the spotlight. But when their first child is born, described as “a mysterious little girl with an exceptional destiny,” any control the two had over their lives is turned upside down, as Henry’s career craters while Ann’s takes off to new heights.
