Not sure what to watch, stream-king? Have you already blown through everything on your watchlist and now you're pouting on the couch? Well, pout no longer! Streaming giants are always churning out new stuff for you to watch, and 2023 has been a banner year for Netflix.
From sports documentaries and gritty thrillers to cuddly family adventures, fantastical dramedies, and prestige pics full of twists, Netflix has an original crop of new movies to freshen up your queue! All you have to do is press play.
On its surface, the latest from Todd Haynes (Carol, Velvet Goldmine) may seem like a thinly veiled reexamination of a true crime tale that had '90s tabloids absolutely obsessed. Screenwriter Samy Burch uses this familiar framework to construct a story that delivers a dishy parody of a melodrama, down to a string-zinging score and comically banal dialogue about hot dogs. She's also built a keen device to evaluate our obsession with true crime, for better or for ghoulish.
Director David Fincher has brought audiences some of the most electrifying crime thrillers of the modern age with Se7en, Zodiac, and Gone Girl. This fall, he returns with a tantalizing new offering that promises action, adventure, and assassins.
From Spencer director Pablo Larran, this pitch-black satire reimagines Pinochet (played here by Jaime Vadell) as a 250-year-old vampire, living in exile with a family ready to tear him (and each other?) apart over his vast fortune. Think of it as "Blood Succession," but with a math-whiz nun at the center of it (Paula Luchsinger, who nearly steals the film).
Though Hulu's Pam and Tommy was a buzzy hit that brought Pamela Anderson back into the modern cultural conversation, it crucially did not have her permission to dramatize her story. Seems like that would have been an important detail for a show about how a woman's privacy was taken forcibly from her, no?
In Netflix's Pamela, A Love Story, Anderson is finally in control of her own narrative. With her own personal videos and diaries, she tells her story: the stolen sex tape with then-husband Tommy Lee, consequent legal battles, and the unforgivable way she was treated by opposing counsel, the media, and the country. It's a brutal and poignant watch well worth your time and attention.
Do you like your mythical beasts better after they undergo a rebrand? Then Jons Cuarn's Chupa is the Spielberg-inspired fantasy adventure for you! After the death of his father, 13-year-old Alex (Evan Whitten) travels to Mexico to meet his extended family for the first time and comes across a chupacabra! Except instead of the goat-blood-sucking monster you're picturing, this chupacabra is still a cub, and it is almost too cute to bear. It's like a sweet baby leopard with floppy ears and wings. Alex must now protect the little creature from the government scientists who would do it harm, while getting in touch with his Mexican heritage along the way. Chupa is a lovely, warm family flick that will melt the hardest of hearts.
Years after the events of the hit series The Last Kingdom, Seven Kings Must Die finds 10th-century England in a state of relative peace. The Danes now rule Northumbria, the Saxon King Edward reigns over Mercia and Wessex, and the warrior Uhtred (Alexander Dreymon) has finally regained his birthright, the land of Bebbanburg, a bridge between the Saxon and Viking cultures. But when Edward falls ill without a clear successor, foreign parties start gearing up to fight. Will Uhtred pick up his sword once more in the name of peace?
The best part of The Last Kingdom series was Uhtred's constant warring loyalties between his Saxon heritage and his Viking upbringing. This film is a fantastic cap on an already-beloved show. Whether you're into meaty historical fiction, swashbuckling sword fights, or a swoonworthy leading man, there's something for everyone in this scenic action-adventure flick.
It's Dante's (Edoardo Leo) 40th birthday, and his need to always be working and productive gets in the way of his celebration. The next day, he wakes up to find it's suddenly his 41st birthday, and he has lost a whole year. If Dante doesn't learn to slow down and enjoy his life, it might just pass him by completely. Still Time is an Italian time-traveling dramedy that remains surprisingly simple and grounded despite its fantastical premise. The performances are charismatic and understated; the tone is cheery and heartfelt; and the story will have you hooked from the first scene. A total charmer!
Gil Bok-Soon (Jeon Do-yeon) is a single mother who often finds herself at odds with her teenage daughter. She's also a highly skilled and successful assassin. Kill Boksoon is a fantastic action film that sees its main character head straight from a brutal killing to the grocery store so she can get dinner on the table. It's one hell of a hook that sucks you in immediately. The fight scenes are hypnotic and the cinematography ambitious and exciting. It's a gripping thriller that makes plenty of space for the complex emotional reality of its characters.
A young orphan turns to a fortune teller in the hopes of finding his long-lost sister. She gives him a cryptic clue: Seek out a magician with an elephant. And with that, the adventure begins. Based on the Kate DiCamillo children's book of the same name, The Magician's Elephant is a whimsical animated family film jam-packed with heart. Thanks to its stellar voice cast (Noah Jupe, Mandy Patinkin, Brian Tyree Henry, Natasia Demetriou, Benedict Wong, Miranda Richardson, and Aasif Mandvi), it's sure to leave you feeling transported.
This new, two-part documentary from director Sam Pollard (MLK/FBI) embraces Bill Russell's multifaceted legacy as a civil rights icon and unstoppable force who earned 11 championships for the Boston Celtics. Pollard wants Russell, who died in 2022, to be remembered both for his basketball career and his influence off the court as well. With interviews from some of the greats, including Shaquille O'Neal, Stephen Curry, Isiah Thomas, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson, we learn about how Bill Russell faced racism throughout his career, protested war alongside Muhammad Ali, and much, much more. Bill Russell: Legend will certainly be a hit for sports fans, but its message makes this a slam dunk for a wider audience.
After an unexpected breakup, travel agent Amanda Riley (Rachael Leigh Cook) tries to "bounce back" by traveling to Vietnam as a secret shopper for a potential partner tour company. Is the first person she meets in Vietnam a handsome and charming tour guide who might have more to teach her than is on the tour itinerary? You bet, baby! This is a sweet and silly romantic comedy that certainly doesn't break the mold, but it has a fantastic cast (Missi Pyle, Ben Feldman, Scott Ly) and will hit just right when you're in for a mindless romp around the world.
In 2009, Australian teen Jessica Watson attempted to sail solo around the world. In 2023, Netflix released this dramatized retelling of her journey. Expect all the hallmarks of a sailing movie: dangerous storms, unyielding sun, massive waves. It's hard not to cheer on Watson (played deftly by Teagan Croft) as she strives for this incredible achievement, facing loneliness, depression, and the unflinching brutality of the sea without assistance. It's a testament to the power of the human spirit, hence the film's title! An inspiring and exciting watch that also stars Cliff Curtis and Anna Paquin.
Nick and Audrey Spitz (Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston), years after the events of Murder Mystery, are now private investigators trying to get their business off the ground. To drum up some new clientele, they accept an invitation to a wedding on a private island where, as luck would have it, someone is immediately murdered. Looks like the Spitzes are going to have to solve the case, again!
