The Only Girl in the Orchestra
Orin O’Brien made history in 1966 when she became the first woman to play in the New York Philharmonic, thanks to a career-changing opportunity. Now 87 and retired, she looks back on her journey and the role she played in shaping the next generation of musicians.
Directed by her niece, Molly O’Brien, this heartfelt documentary captures Orin’s impact on both the orchestra and her students. The Only Girl in the Orchestra won Best Documentary Short Film at the 2025 Oscars and is now streaming on Netflix.
The Substance
Demi Moore plays Elisabeth Sparkle, a once-famous star who’s just been cast aside by her producer for being “too old” by industry standards. Desperate to reclaim her youth and relevance, she turns to an illegal experimental drug that physically creates a younger, alternate version of herself—played by Margaret Qualley. But what starts as a shortcut to a second chance quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. The Substance took home the Oscar for Best Achievement in Makeup and Hairstyling, with Moore earning a nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role. You can stream it now on Amazon Prime Video.
Wicked
The beloved Broadway musical takes to the big screen in Wicked, which explores the untold story of Oz’s famous witches. Elphaba, a bright but misunderstood young woman with emerald-green skin, forms an unlikely friendship with the charming Galinda at Shiz University. But when they encounter the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their bond is put to the test in ways that change their fates forever.
Wicked was a major contender at this year’s Oscars, earning nominations for Cynthia Erivo (Best Actress in a Leading Role) and Ariana Grande (Best Supporting Actress). You can watch Wicked now on Amazon Prime Video or stream it on Peacock.
