What to Watch on Max in July 2025

July is heating up and Max has dropped everything that is coming throughout the month. From feature films like Sinners, to Shark Week, and debuts of HBO Original Documentaries, there is a lot premiering all month long.

Check out the full slate below.

Dear Ms.: A Revolution in Print – HBO Original Documentary – July 2
Logline: Launching its first trailblazing issue in 1972 and still publishing today, Ms. magazine revolutionized the feminist movement, igniting provocative conversations about issues that impact women, from politics to harassment, race, sex, and abortion. In the documentary, three filmmakers select iconic cover stories to explore the complexities of creating a magazine that was unafraid to wrestle with challenging, and often polarizing, issues.

Directed by Salima Koroma, Alice Gu, and Cecilia Aldarondo; produced by William Ventura; executive produced by Dyllan McGee, Amy Richards, Cindi Leive, and Regina K.

On Becoming a Guinea Fowl – A24 Film – July 4
Logline: On an empty road in the middle of the night, Shula stumbles across the body of her uncle. As funeral proceedings begin around them, she and her cousins bring to light the buried secrets of their middle-class Zambian family, in filmmaker Rungano Nyoni’s surreal and vibrant reckoning with the lies we tell ourselves.

Five women ready to do anything in the face of extreme situations such as extortion, oppression, deceit, exclusion or manipulation in a single shared universe articulated around five conflicts that will develop like a butterfly effect – one as a consequence of the other – and so on to shared catharsis. A kaleidoscopic portrait of the current social moment with high doses of irony and humor.
Cast: Carmen Machi, Candela Peña, Cecilia Roth, Nathalie Poza and Pilar Castro. Additional cast includes Claudia Salas, Alberto San Juan, Ana Torrent, Claudia Roset, Mima Riera, Pedro Casablanc, Marilu Marini, Iván Pellicer, Francesc Garrido, Martxelo Rubio and Pepón Nieto.
