Is the movie The Look of Silence available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?

At Stream Tracker, I’ll take you straight into The Look of Silence — a spare, piercing documentary about an optician who literally and figuratively brings things into focus as he confronts the Indonesian mass killings of 1965–66 that cost his brother’s life. The film is built around close, uncomfortable gazes, the weight of silence and the slow uncovering of truth — themes that make its title feel like a lens on memory and witness. Directed by Joshua Oppenheimer, the work earned wide critical acclaim and picked up several festival prizes, cementing its place among the most important documentary investigations of recent decades. In this article I’ll also check whether you can stream The Look of Silence on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+ and explain what to expect on each platform.
