Alright, let's talk about A Cry in the Dark, also known as Evil Angels in some territories. Remember that 1988 movie starring the amazing Meryl Streep? It's about the Lindy Chamberlain case in Australia. You know, the one with the dingo and the missing baby?
So, You Wanna Watch Lindy's Story?
The big question, of course, is: where can you actually watch this classic drama? Good question!
Streaming Services: Your Best Bet
Unfortunately, finding A Cry in the Dark on major streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, or Prime Video can be tricky. It often seems to disappear and reappear like magic. Keep checking! You might get lucky.
Your best bet for streaming might be smaller, more niche platforms. Ones that specialize in older films or international titles. Keep an eye on services like Tubi, Crackle, or maybe even Kanopy if you have a library card!
Rental and Purchase Options
If streaming proves elusive, don't despair! Digital rentals and purchases are your friends. Google Play Movies, Apple TV, and Vudu are good places to start. They usually have a selection of older films available.
Buying the movie digitally means you'll have it forever. Or at least until the digital cloud implodes. Just kidding (mostly!).
The Physical Media Route: Old School Cool
Believe it or not, DVDs still exist! And Blu-rays too. Hunting down a physical copy of A Cry in the Dark can be a fun adventure. Check your local used bookstores or online marketplaces like eBay.
Plus, owning a physical copy gives you bragging rights. You can show off your film knowledge. "Oh, you stream? How quaint."
Unpopular Opinion Alert!
Okay, here's where I might lose some of you. Ready? I think Sam Neill in this movie is criminally underrated.
Everyone focuses on Meryl Streep (rightfully so, she's amazing). But Neill's performance as Michael Chamberlain is so nuanced and heartbreaking! He deserves more love.
And another thing! I think the movie is a little bit slow. There! I said it. Some scenes could have been trimmed.
"But it's a true story!"
I know, I know! But even true stories can benefit from a little cinematic tightening, right?
Why Bother Watching Anyway?
Despite my slightly controversial opinions, A Cry in the Dark is still a powerful and important film. It tackles themes of prejudice, media frenzy, and the flaws in the justice system. It's still relevant today.
Meryl Streep's performance alone is worth the watch. Seriously, she's incredible. And the story is truly gripping, even if it moves at its own pace.
Plus, it's a fascinating look at a famous case that gripped an entire nation. And a cautionary tale about jumping to conclusions. Just remember to double check your streaming services!
Happy Watching!
So, good luck on your quest to find A Cry in the Dark. May the streaming gods be ever in your favor.
And remember, even if you disagree with my opinions (especially the Sam Neill one!), that's okay. Let's just appreciate a good movie, however we can find it!
