If your summer watchlist is looking a little dry, Max is about to change that.
This July, they’re rolling out a stacked lineup of fresh originals, indie favorites, and real-deal documentaries that’ll have you glued to your screen.
Whether you’re in the mood for a trippy family drama, an offbeat love story, or something totally unexpected (hello unicorn roadkill?), there’s plenty to dive into.
Let’s get into it.
🎬 Must-Watch Movies Premiering On Max This July
Debuts July 4 – Sinners (Warner Bros. Film)
Twin brothers return to their hometown hoping to leave their messed-up pasts behind.
But instead of a fresh start, they run head-first into a darker evil that’s been waiting for them.
Cast: Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, Delroy Lindo
Debuts July 4 – On Becoming A Guinea Fowl (A24)
After finding her uncle’s body in the middle of the road at night, Shula and her cousins start peeling back layers of long-buried family secrets during his funeral.
This one’s a deep and surreal look at the stories families tell—and the ones they try to forget.
Cast: Susan Chardy, Elizabeth Chisela, Henry B.J. Phiri
Debuts July 11 – Opus (A24)
A young writer gets invited to the mysterious hideout of a pop star who vanished 30 years ago.
But once she’s there, surrounded by his die-hard followers and nosy journalists, things get real twisted, real quick.
Cast: Ayo Edebiri, John Malkovich, Juliette Lewis, Murray Bartlett, Amber Midthunder, Stephanie Suganami, Young Mazino, Tatanka Means
Debuts July 18 – I Love You Forever (Utopia)
This one starts out like a rom-com but quickly veers into something much darker.
A young woman falls into a toxic relationship, and we watch her journey through—and eventually out of—emotional abuse.
Raw, messy, and real.
Cast: Sofia Black-D’Elia, Ray Nicholson, Cazzie David, Jon Rudnitsky, Raymond Cham Jr.
Debuts July 25 – Death Of A Unicorn (A24)
A dad and his teenage daughter accidentally hit and kill a unicorn (yep, a unicorn) on their way to a weekend retreat.
But once they get there, his shady billionaire boss starts plotting how to cash in on the creature’s healing powers.
It’s weird, wild, and totally A24.
Cast: Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, Will Poulter, Anthony Carrigan, Sunita Mani, Jessica Hynes, Téa Leoni, Richard E. Grant
📺 New Series To Stream On Max
Debuts July 11 – Rage (Furia) [HBO Original Series – Spain]

Their stories are all connected in a butterfly-effect kind of way that leads to one big emotional explosion.

Cast: Carmen Machi, Candela Peña, Cecilia Roth, Nathalie Poza, Pilar Castro, and more

Debuts July 18 & 25 – Billy Joel: And So It Goes
Told in two parts, this one gives us an intimate look at Billy Joel’s life and legacy—from the heartbreaks and highs to the hits that made him a legend.
