New Prime Video movie Hedda is such a good time that you'll probably want to sustain that feel-good feeling after its over. The good news? I've got two perfect suggestions for you.

If anything, you probably think Nia DaCosta's reimagining of Henrik Ibsen's play Hedda Gabler sounds the most like Saltburn. Emerald Fennell's controversial 2023 hit is also available on Prime Video, but that doesn't mean you should automatically press play.

In fact, this is something I got the chance to discuss with the film's star-studded cast. Tom Bateman (George), Nicholas Pinnock (Judge Roland) and I are in agreement that the similarities between the two start and stop with their manor houses, each movie throwing a wild party in that setting for completely different reasons (though I won't spoil what those are).

So, what is the natural go-to film after you've watched Hedda, and is there even a good enough fit? I asked Bateman and Pinnock for their thoughts, and the two films they've suggested make for the most exciting double bill that I'd rather be watching them than typing this.

You should stream Erin Brockovich and Atomic Blonde, Hedda cast says

Let's start with Pinnock's pick of Erin Brockovich, which is also available to stream on Prime Video in the US and UK (but those in Australia will have to catch it on Foxtel Now or Binge). It's the more rogue choice of the two, but his reasoning is absolutely solid.

"I think it's got to be Erin Brockovich. She's got a sense of determination and fight in a different way to Hedda, but she's still trying to get past all of the bureaucracy of things to try and get to where she needs to."

In a nutshell, this is exactly what happens in Hedda, only it's shown in wildly different ways. The 2000 smash-hit movie follows Julia Roberts' take on Erin's real-life story, having been an unemployed single mother who became a legal assistant that almost single-handedly brings down a California power company accused of polluting a city's water supply.
