From the Irish animator Tomm Moore (“The Secret of Kells,” “Song of the Sea,” both Oscar nominated) comes his latest lyrical, earthy beauty. When their show flops and their careers are teetering, they try to win back public favor by traveling (with Nicole Kidman and Andrew Rannells in tow) to small-town Indiana to defend a high-schooler (Jo Ellen Pellman) barred from attending prom with her girlfriend (Ariana DeBose). In the Netflix film, streaming Friday, Streep and James Corden play a pair of comically self-centered, awards-obsessed theater stars. If one Streep film wasn’t enough for you, she’s again in typically fine form in “The Prom,”parodying a diva actor in Ryan Murphy’s adaptation of the 2018 Broadway musical. Directed in a two-week dash by Steven Soderbergh and scripted by the short-story writer Deborah Eisenberg, the film - delightful and light despite its lumbering setting - is about an American novelist (Streep) given a prize in England, who, refusing to fly, takes the boat instead and brings along several old friends (Wiest, Bergan) and her nephew (Lucas Hedges). Travel may seem closed off right now but how about a cruise with Meryl Streep, Dianne Wiest and Candice Bergen? “Let Them All Talk,”which debuts Friday on HBO Max, was filmed on an Atlantic crossing of the Queen Mary 2, the British ocean liner. Here’s a collection curated by The Associated Press’ entertainment journalists of what’s arriving on TV, streaming services and music platforms this week.
