Natalie Portman knows how to own every role she lands, whether she’s headlining a Hollywood blockbuster or a serious drama that gets people talking. If you’re searching for a night in with Portman at her finest, there’s a little something for everyone—quirky debuts, raw performances, high-octane adventures, and those hard-hitting scenes that linger long after the credits roll. For fans Down Under, here’s where to find her best work, old and new, without endless scrolling.
Natalie Portman's most buzzed-about release right now is Fountain of Youth (2025). Directed by Guy Ritchie, this action-adventure throws Portman into the thick of a wild international heist with John Krasinski, Eiza González, Domhnall Gleeson, and Stanley Tucci. The story revolves around siblings who have to put aside old grudges to hunt down the legendary Fountain of Youth—never a dull moment when Portman's on the scene. No need to jump through hoops to watch it; just head over to Apple TV+, which is even offering a 7-day free trial if you’re not already a member.
After something with a bit more bite? May December pulls no punches. In Todd Haynes’s Palme d’Or-nominated drama, Portman takes on the role of Elizabeth, a probing actress researching for a film based on a decades-old scandal involving Julianne Moore’s character, Gracie. Tension bubbles up as Gracie is forced to confront her troubled past, and you can sense the clash between the two women simmering beneath every scene. Catch it with a 30-day free trial on Prime Video and you’ll see why it’s got critics talking.
Portman’s ability to disappear into a character shines brightest in Jackie. Her Oscar-nominated role as Jacqueline Kennedy is haunting: grief, strength, and duty all tangled together in the days after JFK’s assassination. The movie is less about politics and more about personal survival in the public eye. You can rent or buy it on Apple TV+, making for a moving—if emotional—movie experience.
If you want to see where it all began, head straight to Léon: The Professional on Stan. Portman’s debut as Mathilda, a twelve-year-old swept up in a gritty world of revenge and violence, still packs a punch decades later. Jean Reno stars as the hitman who reluctantly becomes her protector and avenger. This is the kind of cult classic that never loses its edge, and Portman is magnetic even at just twelve years old.
But it’s not just movies—she’s also stretching out into TV and documentaries. Try Lady in the Lake, a limited Apple TV+ series set in 1960s Baltimore, where a missing girl’s case collides with big social shifts. Or check out Angel City, an HBO docuseries following a women’s soccer team’s ups and downs—proof that Portman’s gravitating toward stories that flip the script on what’s “normal” in Hollywood.
Streaming in Australia means you get front-row seats to Portman’s ever-expanding, genre-busting career—from fierce leading roles to thoughtful creative projects behind the scenes. Whether you grab a trial or pick up a single rental, now’s the time to revisit her best or finally discover what you’ve been missing.
