Is the movie Based on a True Story available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?

At Stream Tracker, here’s a short intro to Roman Polanski’s tense psychological drama Based on a True Story — the film adaptation of Delphine de Vigan’s novel in which bestselling author Delphine meets the inscrutable Elle, a seductive, mirror-like presence who slowly invades her life and her sense of self. Premiered in competition at Cannes in 2017, the movie trades on doubles, obsession and the blurred line between fiction and reality. Below you’ll find where to stream it today — whether on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+ — and which services currently hold the rights to watch.

Based on a True Story

Synopsis

Delphine, whose intimate memoir has become a runaway bestseller, returns from a punishing publicity tour feeling hollow and disoriented, unable to imagine confronting another blank page. Just as the pressure to create again immobilizes her, she meets Elle, a young, magnetic and perceptive woman whose immediate understanding of Delphine cuts deeper than anyone else's.
