Netflix Recommendations Thread 3.0

Watched Power of the Dog last night,surprised it was so favourably reviewed as some critics had it as their film of the year.Its beautifully filmed and the acting by some to my untrained eye looks impressive although there is lots going unsaid and its not always clear what the nature of these unspoken lines might be.Its slowish and not much tension and I am sure it will disappoint as many as it pleases.A tentative recommendation but its not a western as we know it ,more a study of disparate characters and their motivations and actions.

Was Top Boy removed or has it just renewed the rights to show it?

Good timing with Scream 4 with the new one out this month.

Season two doesn't actually exist

S1 works fine as a standalone, it doesn't end on some huge cliffhanger. Altered Carbon is amazing but season 2 is awful, so much so I didn't even get past the first 2 or 3 episodes.

You got through the whole thing?

I have watched the first couple of episodes of the new Swedish dramedy Anxious People, it's a nice easy watch. Its based on a book by Fredrik Bachman (he also wrote a "man called ove" which was made into a rather excellent film in 2015)

I loved season 1 and only watched a couple of episodes of S2. Night and day in quality

Fracture is excellent. It has the same kind of plot to Primal Fear with Richard Gere and a brilliant Edward Norton.

I recommend Norwegian movie The Trip. Dark comedy with no shortage of gore.

yeah its not there , not sure what happened

The trailer made it out to be a completely different kind of movie. Slow, boring, awful rubbish tbh.

Thanks for that. Great movie!

Agree. I thought it was just OK but my wife really hated it.

We didn’t think a lot of the story, flimsy as it was, made much sense. Present day Leda and her younger self seemed like entirely different people. Obviously played by different actors but they were two totally different people.

Definitely “one for the critics” imo.
