![]() The opening 15 minutes alone are some of the most wrenching minutes you’ll be able to watch on Netflix and this will almost certainly be a painful watch for some so bear that in mind before clicking play. Going on to be nominated for an Oscar, the movie follows a birth that goes wrong and a family’s efforts to get justice. While the release of Pieces of a Woman may have been slightly overshadowed by the allegations hanging over Shia LaBeouf, that shouldn’t discourage you from watching this heart-tugging and emotional feature. The British production is superbly written and while the subject matter may not appeal to all, those who do dig in will find plenty to remember.Ĭast: Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf, Ellen Burstyn The beautifully animated title may not pack the same punch as another Sony Animation movie we’ll feature a bit further down, it’s still a heartwarming and funny feature that’s been compared to the likes of The Iron Giant.Ĭast: Carey Mulligan, Ralph Fiennes, Lily JamesĮxemplary performances are found throughout this biopic that relives the moments of the excavation of the Sutton Hoo. Created in China, Sony Animation originally bought the movie but thanks to the Covid pandemic, eventually got sold onto Netflix. Netflix has picked up a number of Sony Animation movies this year and Wish Dragon is one of them. Kevin Hart shines in this down-to-earth drama about a father that’s looking after her new daughter after the untimely death of his partner.Īlthough critic’s reviews weren’t too kind to the flick, audiences have seemed to taken to it and by most accounts, is a solid watch.Ĭast: Mélanie Laurent, Mathieu Amalric, Malik Zidi Its major pitfalls are what I think are hallmarks of Asian movies that tend to tell stories slightly different and can give you whiplash trying to keep up but perhaps that’s a personal flaw more than a movie flaw.Ĭast: Kevin Hart, Alfre Woodard, Lil Rel Howery The movie jumps in and out of Korean with plenty of English spoken throughout which makes this a truly international movie with stellar CGI. We follow one crew who seemingly manages to find a way to save their homeworld. The Korean movie is set years into the future when crews of space sweepers are after space debris to earn a few bucks. If big sci-fi blockbusters are your thing then Space Sweepers should be high up on your agenda. While it’s certainly not going to be for everyone and you could spend all afternoon picking apart its gaping plot holes, there’s still a fun time to be had with impressive visuals albeit often nauseating depth of field.Ĭast: Song Joong-Ki, Kim Tae-ri, Seon-kyu Jin Snyder, known for his remake of Dawn of the Dead, reentered the zombie space with a fun 2 and a half hour frolic in the Las Vegas desert. Hot off the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League for HBO Max, Netflix had its project with the famed director lined up to kickstart its summer 2021 movie schedule. While the movie does feel like it repeats itself several times throughout, it’s still an excellent character piece with two of today’s best actors.Ĭast: Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Ana de la Reguera However, tensions arise which leads to several arguments throughout the early hours of the morning. The movie picks up after an awards evening with a couple coming home to have something to eat and then head to bed. That doesn’t apply to Malcolm & Marie which is wholly carried by two stunning performances by the leads. ![]() Let’s be honest, most of the “lockdown” series and movies produced with limited budgets have been subpar at best. The love story sees two who hope to one day be together but religious differences and duty hold them back. The hour and a half long feature film has every frame hand-painted and as a result, looks absolutely gorgeous. Netflix has been stepping up big time on the animation front and Bombay Rose is an excellent example of this. ![]() Many have praised it being an excellent family adventure while some have called it too predictable and far inferior to the aforementioned Goonies movie.Ĭast: Cyli Khare, Amit Deondi, Gargi Shitole The movie is a hybrid of The Goonies and Indiana Jones where a group of kids in the summer set out to find secret lost treasures. Netflix ended 2020 with the family feature film We Can Be Heroes and in our opinion, then topped it in late January with the new kids-focused film, Finding ‘Ohana. However, this movie is absolutely brilliant watch for the young ones with a hand-drawn aesthetic, some earworm songs, and the promise of it being a franchise Netflix invests in with an upcoming companion TV series.Ĭast: Kea Peahu, Alex Aiono, Lindsay Watson ![]()
