As May winds down, Prime Video is still packed with fresh titles worth your time. While the platform's top spot this week goes to the gritty spy sequel Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War—starring John Krasinski and drawing mixed reviews—there's plenty more to explore. Whether you're in the mood for a critically acclaimed action-thriller, a sprawling Western, or an offbeat romantic comedy, these three picks offer something for every taste. Check out our Top 3 Netflix Movies to Stream This Week (May 25) for more streaming recommendations.
1. 'One Battle After Another' (2025)
Paul Thomas Anderson returns with One Battle After Another, a black comedy action thriller inspired by Thomas Pynchon's 1990 novel Vineland. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Bob, a washed-up former revolutionary living off the grid as a single father. When his daughter (Chase Infiniti) is targeted by his old nemesis, corrupt military officer Steven J. Lockjaw (Sean Penn), Bob is forced back into the fight. The stellar ensemble also includes Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, and Teyana Taylor.
On the surface, this is a high-energy rescue adventure, but Anderson layers in deep themes of rebellion and revolution through an intimate father-daughter dynamic. The film was a massive critical and commercial hit in 2025, earning six Academy Awards including Best Picture. Its performances, writing, action, and cinematography have been universally praised, making it a must-watch for fans of smart, thrilling cinema.

2. 'Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1' (2024)
Kevin Costner's passion project Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 is an epic Western that kicks off a planned four-part series. Set in 1859, the film follows multiple characters in and around the settlement of Horizon as they grapple with conflicts with an Apache tribe and the looming Civil War. Costner stars alongside Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, and Giovanni Ribisi in this ambitious tale.
Though the film premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival to mixed critical and commercial reception, its scale and ambition are undeniable. The story may meander at times, but powerful performances and gorgeous cinematography bring the Old West to life with all its complexities. The second chapter debuted later that year at the Venice International Film Festival, so now is the perfect time to catch up.

3. 'She Came to Me' (2023)
Rebecca Miller's She Came to Me is a romantic comedy that flew under the radar. Peter Dinklage plays a composer suffering from creative block. Following advice from his therapist wife (Anne Hathaway), he seeks inspiration and finds it in the eccentric “romance addict” Katrina (Marisa Tomei). The supporting cast includes Joanna Kulig, Brian d'Arcy James, and Evan Ellison.
While the film received negative reviews upon its 2023 theatrical release, it's an enjoyable watch with an original story and engaging performances from Dinklage, Tomei, and Hathaway. The music, especially the Golden Globe-nominated original song “Addicted to Romance” by Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa, earned praise. For a quirky, heartfelt detour, this is a hidden gem worth streaming before it leaves Prime Video.
