Every Jessie Buckley movie you can watch on Netflix right now
If you blinked, you might have missed the moment Jessie Buckley officially entered her Oscar era, and it’s not something advised to do. The 2026 Oscars gave us a lot to talk about, but one moment that really stayed with people was Jessie Buckley winning Best Actress for her role in Hamnet, and while it might not be Timothée Chalamet getting roasted for an opera and ballet moment, the importance it held was much greater.
Because if you have been watching Buckley over the years, you know this didn’t just happen overnight. She has been putting in the work for a long time now, picking the unobvious roles and tattooing them over your memory.
Now, the role that brought her Oscar is where things really get interesting. In Hamnet, she plays Agnes Hathaway, the wife of William Shakespeare, and the story tells the story of their family after the loss of their son, with Shakespeare away in London while she is left to deal with everything back home. Needless to say, Buckley did an excellent job portraying the struggles and grief, and we all know the result.
So if you are in that same place right now, trying to follow that Oscar win with a few more of her performances, the good part is you don’t have to go too far because Netflix actually has some of her best films ready to stream. Let us walk you through them.
Every Jessie Buckley movie you can watch on Netflix
I’m Thinking of Ending Things (Charlie Kaufman, 2020)
Charlie Kaufman really went all out with I’m Thinking of Ending Things, and you can tell almost immediately that this isn’t going to play by normal rules, just by taking a look at its name. This is a story of a woman who heads out to meet her boyfriend’s parents. Sounds great… for her! But it turns out that it was no simple visit. Soon, it starts messing with her memory, with it shifting in a very strange way to the point that she starts questioning herself.
Of course, we have Jessie Buckley at the centre of all of it. After watching her as Lucy, you’ll believe that Jessie can pull a very tough role without overdoing it. Her role in the film requires change, and she makes it happen in small but noticeable ways with her tone and reactions and makes it look organic. You should definitely give it a try if her role in Hamnet has impressed you.
The Lost Daughter (Maggie Gyllenhaal, 2021)
A beach setting usually means a simple and fun watch, but The Lost Daughter pours cold water on that expectation pretty fast. The film follows a woman named Leda on vacation, and soon she interacts with a big family, a young mother and child, to be specific, and that starts bringing up memories from her own past. Although the part of the woman is played by Olivia Colman, we see Jessie Buckley come in as the younger version of her.
Whenever there are flashback scenes in a film, it is very important that the casting is done right so we feel that the two actors are playing the same person. And Buckley has done an incredible job syncing with Colman, and not once do you think that these two are different people. Filled with a brilliant cast, this film is one of Netflix’s finest.
Wicked Little Letters (Thea Sharrock, 2023)
Once again, we see Buckley with Colman in this mystery-comedy; Wicked Little Letters is a really fun watch. It’s like it’s a compensation for all the drama you got in The Lost Daughter. It starts when a small town gets shaken up when a series of extremely rude letters start showing up, and naturally, everyone starts pointing fingers at Jessie Buckley’s character, Rose.
Buckley, once again, has done a tremendous job by playing a foul-mouthed woman and has been successful in proving that she has got range. Her character Rose is loud and clearly not interested in fitting into anyone’s expectations, which makes her the perfect target for suspicion. But Buckley doesn’t let her become a joke. She shows that you can play a comic character without making it look absurd.
Scrooge: A Christmas Carol
You already know the story going into Scrooge: A Christmas Carol, but the musical angle of Netflix has given it a slightly different feel. The film follows Scrooge as he is forced to confront his past as he rethinks his choices. Luke Evans has voiced Ebenezer Scrooge, and once again, we see Olivia Colman in the film voicing the ghost. Seems like Buckley really loves working with Colman and vice versa.
This time, she has voiced Isabel Fezziwig, and even without being on screen, she manages to stand out as usual. A huge reason behind the success of any animated film is the right voice casting, and whoever cast Buckley here knew what they were doing. Once again, displaying her range, Buckley showed us why she was a worthy candidate for the Oscar she just won.
