Where is Love Actually actually streaming in Australia?

Love Actually might not have aged too well but it's enduring legacy is proof that there's something about the festive rom-com that keeps audiences coming back every Christmas. 

Whether you love it, love to hate it, or even a bit of both, a number of major streaming services will deliver the goods next Christmas, as Love Actually is currently streaming on Netflix, Stan, Binge, Foxtel Now and Paramount Plus. 

At the time of writing, Love Actually is available to stream on-demand in Australia via the following services: 

• Binge
• Foxtel Now
• Netflix
• Stan
• Paramount Plus

It's also available to rent or purchase digitally for $4.99 and $14.99, respectively, through the following platforms: 

• Apple TV
• Google Play
• Amazon
• Microsoft Store
• YouTube Movies

Our pick of the crop is currently Binge, as there are a number of other high-profile movies and TV shows currently streaming, such as Oppenheimer, House of the Dragon, Harry Potter, Barbie and more. 

Love Actually is a sort of ensemble rom-com and perhaps the progenitor of that 'Every Famous Person You Know' movie poster design as seen in the marketing for inferior entries to the subgenre New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day. Just like those movies, Love Actually has multiple concurrently running storylines, each told in snippets throughout the movie's runtime. It's not quite an anthology of short stories, but rather ten love love stories that occasionally intertwine. 

Of those ten stories, there are a few that get more screentime than others: Hugh Grant's severely single Prime Minister, Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson's tale of infidelity, Kiera Knightley's unrequited love triangle with Chiwetel Ejiofor and Andrew Lincoln and Liam Neeson's lovelorn widower all make up the bulk of the movie's most poignant love stories. Then there's a forgettable couple of lads looking to get their rocks off and Mr Bean's Rowan Atkinson, who is more of a gag character. 

Part of its staying power is its killer cast and achingly early 2000s soundtrack, but really the mass appeal is mostly thanks to Richard Curtis' skilled screenwriting chops. Fans of Two Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill will no doubt already have watched Love Actually a thousand times over. 

So you're not short of streaming services if you're in the market for Love Actually this Christmas but each of those services offer very different features and catalogues. If you're tossing up between a few streaming services, check out the table below for a comprehensive side-by-side comparison.
