Best Netflix Original Movies To Watch In 2. Netflix has been steadily putting out original content since 2. While they have bought the rights to many properties throughout the years, they’ve also self- commissioned a number of original TV shows, films, and documentaries. Starting with House of Cards, they’ve since released shows like Orange is the New Black, Bloodline, and Stranger Things, which have gone on to win Golden Globe and SAG awards, making them competitive with the major networks and studios. Ever since 2. 01. Beasts of No Nation was released, Netflix has been steadily snatching up distribution for a number of indie films as well as providing funding for their own interesting projects. More and more filmmakers are choosing Netflix over traditional theatrical releases because of its accessibility in over 1.
They’ve also been known to allow a lot more creative freedom on behalf of the filmmakers, which obviously makes them more attractive than restrictive movie studios. In 2. 01. 7 alone, they’ve slated over 3. Here are the 1. 5 you need to keep an eye out for. Small Crimes. Picked up ahead of its SXSW debut, Small Crimes features Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster- Waldau as Joe, a corrupt ex- cop who went to jail for, you guessed it, his “small crimes.” Newly freed, Joe tries to start over, but he can’t seem to shake his past deeds and the people affected by his crimes. It’s a classic scenario of will- he- won’t- he, as Joe’s tempted by the constant lure of criminal activity and corruption. Based on a novel of the same name by Dave Zeltserman, the film was adapted by E.
L Katz (Cheap Thrills) and Macon Blair (I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore). Both filmmakers got their start in the horror genre and have transitioned into black comedies of the indie crime persuasion. The film also stars House of Cards star Molly Parker as Joe’s love interest, along with Office Space’s Gary Cole as Joe’s former police superior. Look for it to hit Netflix later this month, on April 2. Handsome: A Netflix Mystery Movie.
Known for his supporting roles in The Goldbergs, Arrested Development, and Curb Your Enthusiasm, Jeff Garlin finally has a chance to shine in the lead role for Handsome: A Netflix Mystery Movie. Garlin co- wrote the film along with Andrea Seigel, the screenwriter for Laggies, which Garlin also appeared in. It seems like a strange pairing since Seigel mainly delves into the minds of teenagers (both on film and in her novels), but coming of age stories aren’t just about growing up—they’re about evolving into your full potential. There lies the comedy (and tragedy) for Handsome, as he doesn’t seem to have gripped this concept, even in middle age.
Set in the 1. 98. Garlin plays Gene Handsome, a quirky detective who’s good at his job, but frequently gets in his own way (especially when it comes to his personal life). While Handsome’s no Adrian Monk, his comedic chops take center stage as he sets out to solve a woman’s murder.
Garlin also directed the film, which drops May 5th, and co- stars Natasha Lyonne and Amy Sedaris among other familiar comedic faces. War Machine. Brad Pitt’s first foray into Netflix territory comes in the form of War Machine, a film loosely based on the late Michael Hastings’ Rolling Stonesexpos. While not a direct adaptation, the film throws a satirical slant on Mc. Chrystal’s role during the war in Afghanistan as commander of US and NATO forces. To separate truth from fiction, the Mc. Chrystal character has been renamed Mc. Mahon, and the White House staff bears no resemblance to the Obama administration it’s based on.
Like his real world counterpart, Mc. Mahon (Pitt) is determined to accomplish the task he was hired for: winning the war in Afghanistan and getting America’s troops the hell out of there. However, even as a military man, Mc. Mahon doesn’t always play by the rules or know when to keep his big mouth shut. War Machine features an all- star cast including Tilda Swinton, Ben Kingsley, Anthony Michael Hall, and Topher Grace—premiering May 2. Netflix. 1. 2. Okja. Joon- Ho Bong’s newest endeavor, Okja, sees the return of Snowpiercer alum Tilda Swinton, along with appearances from Paul Dano, Steven Yeun, and Jake Gyllenhaal.
Netflix allegedly handed over a cool $5. Bong complete creative control (something he struggled with on Snowpiercer). The film focuses on the relationship between a young Korean girl, Mija (played by Seo- Hyun Ahn), and a mysterious creature named Okja. Although we only see a close- up of the creature’s eye and part of its face in the trailer, it looks pretty harmless, especially in comparison to Bong’s creature in The Host. According to the official synopsis, it seems humans are the terrorizers this time, as a large multi- national company tries to kidnap the creature, probably with the intention of exploitation.
Touted as a coming- of- age film, Mija’s journey is the central focus as she’s exposed to the “harsh realities of genetically modified food experimentation, globalization, eco- terrorism, and humanity’s obsession with image, brand, and self- promotion.” Definitely ranking as one of the most highly anticipated Netflix original films for 2. Okja is available for streaming on June 2.
Naked. Fans of the Wayans family’s films will be excited to know that Netflix is set to release Marlon’s newest creation, Naked, on August 1. While his last productions were spoofs of popular American films, Naked is actually a remake of the 2. Swedish film, Naken. It’s basically Groundhog Day, but naked in an elevator, the film focuses on a man who’s forced to repeat the morning of his wedding until he can get things right. Hilarity ensues as he’s humiliated over and over again, much to the delight of the audience. Buy Ryde Movie (2017) Hq. Michael Tiddes, Haunted House and Fifty Shades of Black director,returns for Naked, as does writer, Rick Alvarez. Expect the same outrageous, gross- out humor as their other films, possibly with some male full frontal shots thrown in (the original film was full of them).
Also starring alongside Marlon is Regina Hall, who has appeared in all four Wayans- produced Scary Movie films to date. To the Bone. To the Bone was one of eight feature films acquired by Netflix that premiered at Sundance this year. It stars actress/singer Lily Collins as a twenty- year- old anorexic who goes to live in a group home for girls with eating disorders. While writer/director Marti Noxon based the story on her own struggles with both anorexia and bulimia in her teens and twenties, Collins also revealed that she too struggled with an eating disorder in her teens as well.
Despite dealing with such intense subject material that hits so close to home for those involved, To the Bone manages to find humor in the darkness as well. It currently sports a healthy 8. Rotten Tomatoes. Much of the narrative centers on Collins’ character confronting her illness with the help of an unconventional doctor, played by Keanu Reeves.
Since there’s no trailer yet, we’re unsure of the dynamic that exists between Collins’ and Reeves’ characters, but, according to an interview conducted by Kevin Smith during Sundance, Reeves won’t be John Wick- ing the anorexia out of his patient. Death Note. Another manga adaptation stirring up controversy for “whitewashing,” Death Note, like Ghost in the Shell, cast primarily white actors in a story originally featuring Asian characters. Luckily for Death Note, it won’t suffer from embarrassing box office numbers, like Ghost in the Shell has, since it’s only scheduled for a streaming release on August 2.
Still, the film, which stars The Fault in Our Stars’ Nat Wolff as Light Turner (Light Yagami in the manga) may face a boycott from diehard fans who aren’t thrilled with the casting. In fact, the only role they don’t seem to have a problem with is the death demon Ryuk, voiced by Willem Dafoe. For those unfamiliar with the story, Death Note follows a high school student who finds a supernatural notebook owned by a Shinigami, or death demon.
