The first Knives Out was a box office smash, and the sequel got the widest (though still very brief) theatrical release for a Netflix movie ever, but make no mistake, this stylish sequel is a Netflix film. Stars: Daniel Craig, Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista Kate Hudson, Jessica Henwick, Daniel Craig, and Leslie Odom Jr., Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery John Wilson/Netflix Liam Mathews Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mysteryįor fans of: Good old-fashioned murder mysteries, actors having fun with their personas But once you get on its unique wavelength, you might find White Noise to be a thought-provoking and darkly funny film. I don't usually do this, but I'm going to defer to Netflix's description for this one, because it's really good: " White Noise dramatizes a contemporary American family's attempts to deal with the mundane conflicts of everyday life while grappling with the universal mysteries of love, death, and the possibility of happiness in an uncertain world." That's exactly what it's about! Reviews have been more mixed than you might expect for a film with this pedigree, perhaps because DeLillo's stylized dialogue is meant to be read, not spoken aloud, so it sounds really weird, not at all like how people actually speak. Stars: Adam Driver, Greta Gerwig, Don Cheadle, Raffey Cassidy, Lars Eidinger, Jodie Turner-SmithĪdam Driver and Greta Gerwig star in director Noah Baumbach's adaptation of Don DeLillo's classic postmodern satirical novel. Tim Surette King of Clonesįor fans of: Ethics, science, cloning, dogs that look alikeĪdam Driver and Greta Gerwig, White Noise Wilson Webb/Netflix Set in a world that evokes science-fiction and D&D fantasy, it's a feast for the eyes, but it's your heart that will feel the fullest by the end. (The film was reportedly delayed multiple times and eventually canceled in 2021 by boneheaded Disney leadership because of its LGBTQ+ storyline, before being revived by Annapurna and Netflix.) Based on the award-winning graphic novel by ND Stevenson, Nimona features Riz Ahmed as the voice of a disgraced knight whose only chance at redemption is a rambunctious, shapeshifting teenager ( Chloë Grace Moretz). This charming animated movie about not putting labels on people may seem pretty typical, but it relays that message well and is the rare family-friendly film with LGBTQ+ themes. Stars: Chloë Grace Moretz, Riz Ahmed, Beck Bennett, RuPaul, Lorraine Toussaint What to watch on Amazon, Hulu, HBO Max, and more in August 2023įor fans of: Queer-friendly messages, dazzling animation.Everything coming to and leaving on Netflix in September 2023.It was also clearly influenced by Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which you'll notice in its animation style. Slightly darker than its predecessor, as its main focus is on death - Puss comes dangerously close to expiring his nine lives - The Last Wish still manages to be very family-friendly with its colorful characters and comedy, thanks to an excellent voice cast that includes new franchise members John Mulaney, Florence Pugh, and Wagner Moura. Stars: Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Florence Pugh, John Mulaney, Wagner MouraĪ member of the excellent class of 2023 Oscar nominations for Best Animated Feature, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is a dazzling sequel to the 2011 Puss in Boots film, though it exceeds it in every way. Tim Surette They Cloned Tyroneįor fans of: Blaxploitation films, sci-fi/comedyĪntonio Banderas, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish DreamWorks Animation/Universal Picturesĭirector: Januel Mercado and Joel Crawford It's a heartwarming story that transcends the world of baseball. Mike is charismatic as he talks about his dad and his life, and Malmberg and Neville have fun with the direction, bringing in Charlie Day to play a young Mike Veeck in reenactments. This documentary is less a historical document and more of a series of true tall tales passed down from generation to generation about the Veeck family, notably Bill Veeck, the beloved and fun-loving owner of the Chicago White Sox in the 1970s, and his son Mike, whose up-and-down relationship with his dad - which hit a low after Mike's brainchild, the infamous "Disco Sucks" night, tarnished Bill's reputation - eventually left him clawing his way back up in the world of baseball and reflecting on his relationship with his own family. Stars: Charlie Day, Jeff Daniels (narrator) Rebecca and Mike Veeck, The Saint of Second Chances Netflixĭirector: Jeff Malmberg and Morgan Neville
