What to Stream: 'The Smashing Machine,' Louis Tomlinson, 'The Beauty' and Springsteen biopic

The Smashing Machine explores addiction and self-worth, while Springsteen biopic portrays the making of the album Nebraska, both debuting on major streaming platforms on Jan. 23.

  • Streaming platforms roll out major weekend premieres, with 'The Beauty' debuting Jan. 21 on Hulu and Disney+ and 'La Grazia' starting Jan. 23 on Mubi.
  • Producers timed releases for awards-season attention, with festival recognition and thematic focus prompting platform launches on Jan. 23.
  • Reviewers noted performances amid critical reservations as Associated Press film reviewer Jake Coyle praised Dwayne Johnson's portrayal of Mark Kerr while noting the film avoids fully addressing MMA's violence, and critics framed Scott Cooper's Springsteen film as a humble, reflective portrait centered on Jeremy Allen White.
  • This weekend's slate spans film and music releases as Jan. 23 features Mubi's La Grazia and major albums from Louis Tomlinson and Megadeth, broadening cultural choices.
  • The slate signals streaming services broadening content ahead of awards season, with documentaries, biopics, and albums exploring addiction, beauty standards, and artistic legacy to shape awards-season conversation.
