The 10 best movies to watch right now on Netflix

Jane Campion hadn’t made a movie in too long. Luckily she’s back, the director of ‘The piano’ got into nothing less than the field of western with the adaptation of the novel by Thomas Savage. Beyond gunslingers and bandits, however, we find a brutal character study, a portrait of toxic masculinity, and a slow-burn thriller.

Paolo Sorrentino, the director of ‘The Great Beauty’ or ‘The Youth’, decided to return to his roots and recall his youthful years in Diego Armando Maradona’s Naples. The result is, as the Italian is used to, beautiful and poetic, but also less pompous and with more human warmth than his most famous films.

An all-star cast unlike any other for a movie released directly on the platform is McKay’s best weapon to succeed with this uneven comedy. His other best weapon, of course, is the tremendous and poignant resemblance between our society and that of the film.

‘Babadok’ or ‘The witch’ seem to be the benchmarks for David Casademunt’s directorial debut. That is to say, the terror here is transformed into something fantastic, psychological, close to a gloomy magical realism where we will never know how real and palpable is the terror that devastates the protagonists, scoop in hand.

Although it might seem like another movie about World War II (and it is), the truth is that the success of this thriller is to play with what we already know, the disaster that the explosion of the conflict will bring. That is why he immediately conveys to us the importance of the protagonists’ mission, to mediate between England and the Nazis to prevent the outbreak of the conflict.

The latest work by Pedro Almodóvar arrives on Netflix, where most of his filmography is also available for the enjoyment of the entire world. More awarded outside of Spain than in our country, nobody denies the monumental work of Penélope Cruz in what is probably the best role of her career. Although the political brushstrokes of historical memory seem to be shoehorned in with a broad brush, the feminine melodrama of the manchego and its portrait of three different mothers is extraordinary.

The autobiography of the tragically late genius of Broadway served another genius of the New York theater avenue, Lin-Manuel Miranda, to make his directorial debut. Andrew Garfield in the best and most demanding role of his career do the rest around this different musical that, unlike ‘La La Land’, never hesitates between love and artistic sacrifice, as sad as that sounds.

If before we were already more than suspicious about dating through the app, there will be many and many who, after learning about Simon Leviev’s story of scams, will walk with lead feet. He is especially suspicious if he makes you believe that he is a rich heir to the diamonds and yet he asks you for a large sum of money.

Ok, here we have cheated a bit because the tape is not available yet, but it is so close that you can already mark it in the agenda. Starring Nicolak Coster-Waldau (‘Game of Thrones’), the film narrates the almost impossible Danish expedition through the Arctic to refute a theory that could change the national distribution of the North Pole.

Leatherface returns, and so does Sally, the sole survivor of the masterful original 1974 film that forever changed the horror genre in America. Almost 50 years later, the slasher and its great references continue to give us joy, or rather scares, and we are still grateful for sequels that lead us to expand and connect with the great myths of terror.
