New home entertainment releases for June 23 include Magellan\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Alpha <\/em>on Blu-ray Disc, while\u00a0I Love Boosters<\/em> becomes available digitally.<\/p>\n

\"\"Criterion Premieres will release the 2025 historical drama Magellan<\/em> on Blu-ray Disc and DVD June 23. Directed by Lav Diaz, the film follows the 16th-century Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan (Gael Garc\u00eda Bernal) as he embarks on his epochal quest to cross the Pacific \u2014 a voyage that spirals into zealotry and violence when he attempts to introduce Christianity to the people of the Philippines. Presented in Portuguese, Spanish and Cebuano with English subtitles, the film offers a haunting elegy for a lost precolonial past, taking an anti-imperialist look at Magellan\u2019s voyage behind Garc\u00eda Bernal\u2019s radically antiheroic portrayal. The film had a limited worldwide theatrical run at the end of 2025, and played in the United States starting in January, earning about half a million dollars at the global box office.<\/p>\n

\"\"Neon April 14 began offering the indie horror film Alpha<\/em> on for rental and sale on digital retail platforms. The story of a young girl\u2019s family being impacted by an illness, and the memories, trauma, and fears that subsequently ripple through generations, will be available on Blu-ray Disc starting June 23. The disc release, which is distributed by Alliance Home Entertainment, includes an interview with director Julia Ducournau. The story follows the life of Alpha, a rebellious 13-year-old who lives with her single mother, a doctor who helps patients afflicted with a blood-borne disease that slowly turns the infected into marble. When Alpha arrives home one day with\u00a0 a tattoo on her arm that becomes infected, her mother becomes concerned that she may have contracted the disease, setting off an unfortunate chain of events. The film stars\u00a0<\/strong>Tahar Rahim as Alpha, alongside Golshifteh Farahani, M\u00e9lissa Boros, Emma Mackey, Finnegan Oldfield and Louai El Amrousy. Alpha<\/em> premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2025 and was nominated for the Palme d\u2019Or. It earned approximately $1 million at the box office.<\/p>\n

\"\"The 2023 Anchor Bay Entertainment drama Artificial Flowers<\/em> will be released on Blu-ray Disc June 23 from MVD Entertainment Group. Set entirely during a single evening in a sleek Los Angeles high-rise, the film follows two accomplished writers \u2014 Maeve (Emily Charouhas, \u201cDesperate Housewives\u201d) and Phelix (Andrew Villarreal, \u201cKaplan\u2019s Korner\u201d) \u2014 who find themselves entwined in a verbal and emotional tug-of-war. As wine flows and the city lights glow around them, their conversation quickly spirals beyond casual chatter. What begins as creative brainstorming becomes a raw excavation of their darkest secrets, past traumas, and fractured psyches. Through pointed questions, sly barbs, and hypnotic tension, Maeve and Phelix each adopt the other as a sounding board and mirror \u2014 pushing boundaries as they provoke confessions and revelations. In this intimate, psychologically charged dialogue, the performers fuel a gripping exploration of power dynamics, manipulation, and catharsis. Over the span of 85 minutes, artificial fa\u00e7ades crumble, exposing how fragile, terrifyingly human bonds can become weaponized in the quest for truth \u2014 and perhaps redemption.<\/p>\n

Neon will release director Boots Riley\u2019s absurdist comedy I Love Boosters<\/em> will be available for digital purchase June 23. The film follows a group of female shoplifters \u2014 headed by Keke Palmer \u2014 that join together to take down an exploitive fashion mogul played by Demi Moore. Following its debut at the SXSW film festival and subsequent nationwide theatrical release, Boosters<\/em> generated $9.5 million at the box office. It arrives on DVD and as a 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray combo pack Sept. 22.<\/p>\n
