Meghann Fahy | The Movie My Life

Sirens (2025), Milly Alcock, Julianne Moore, Netflix

Episode one of Sirens is perfect, especially because it feels as though it does not have a second of wasted screen time, thanks to a great edit.

Sirens is the story of Devon (Meghann Fahy), a big sister who is concerned about her younger sister’s (Milly Alcock) unhealthy relationship with her new boss (Juliane Moore), while Devon herself is struggling with other personal challenges.

Survival is a key theme in creator Molly Smith Metzler’s dark comedy/drama. I enjoyed how the tensions between trauma, familial bonds, boundaries and freedom featured in a generally well-woven story, one that leads to the three female protagonists making choices they felt they had to, however ill-imprudent.

I would say that Sirens isn’t perfect overall. However, I found it more than watchable. And, I like how, upon conclusion, things felt as though they ended exactly as they were supposed to, but somehow, in a non-predictable way.

Watch Netflix’s new five-episode series for the good performances and all the other reasons mentioned above. You may get annoyed at least once by a character’s ill-advised decision once or twice, but you will be entertained.

Drop (2025), Meghann Fahy, Universal Pictures

I should have trusted my instincts when my initial reaction to theDrop trailer months earlier was no, because after hitting play to give it a chance, I had to stop thirty-five minutes in.

Directed by Christopher Landon, Meghann Fahy plays a widowed mother who gets anonymously threatened with messages while on a first date, and so begins the search for the perpetrator.

My appreciation for Fahy’s work since The White Lotus season two is why I started watching Drop. Thankfully, her performance isn’t the reason I stopped. I lost patience with the premise and the game. I became bored with the setting. I may be in denial, but I also couldn’t suspend my disbelief that someone would play such a game to the extent they did.

Instead of fully quitting, I skipped a chunk of the film and moved to the last 25 minutes, which, it turns out, was watchable.

If you’re curious enough, give Drop a chance. My favourite thing about it is the waiter, played very well by Jeffrey Self.

Happy Film Loving,
