Part Godzilla-esque kaiju movie, part Roland Emmerich disaster film, Troll executes its pea-brained premise - a skyscraper-sized creature made of mountain wreaks havoc on Norway - wonderfully, incorporating American blockbuster tropes gleefully and winking at the audience as it does so. Trolls come in all shapes and sizes, from hair-raised freaky-looking dolls to leprechaun-sized B-movie stars to the mammoth monster of this Norwegian sci-fi action flick. Stars: Ine Marie Wilmann, Kim Falck, Mads Sjøgård Pettersen "It truly is a work of minor magic." -Liam Mathews Trollįor fans of: Overgrown garden gnomes, blockbuster tropes, Norwegian troll movies "He's lively and charming and lovable, but still looks like real wood," he wrote. In his review for TV Guide, Jordan Hoffman had particular praise for Pinocchio's character design. GDT's take is steeped in his signature allegorical style of dark fantasy, setting the story in Fascist 1930s Italy and making Pinocchio much less cute than the Disney version of popular imagination. It took Guillermo del Toro a decade to bring this passion project, a stop-motion adaptation of the timeless tale of the puppet who wants to be a real boy, to life. Genre: Drama, Fantasy, Animation, Family, Musical Stars: Ewan McGregor, David Bradley, Gregory Mann, Burn Gorman, John Turturro, Ron Perlman, Finn Wolfhard, Cate Blanchett, Tim Blake Nelson, Christoph Waltz, Tilda Swinton Liam Mathews Emily the Criminalįor fans of: Crushing student loan debt, smart indiesĭirector: Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson In his review for TV Guide, Jordan Hoffman gave it a 9 out of 10, an exceptionally high score for any movie, let alone a Netflix Original in 2022. The plotting is brilliant, the performances are delightful, and the social commentary is astute. The cast includes Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista. Daniel Craig returns as master detective Benoit Blanc, who's tasked with solving a murder mystery at a Greek villa that starts out as a game and turns real. 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.

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. There are so many great new movies I don’t know where to start, okay, yes, I do and I’ll start by watching The Shawshank Redemption for the 137th time, but you can’t go wrong with any of these titles.Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig, White Noise Wilson Webb/Netflix Here are the 25 best new movies on Netflix for April (ranked in alphabetical order). And looking at the Netflix new releases for the month of April is proof of that because there are some juicy titles for fans of many genres. So while the number of movies available to stream has shrunk, it doesn’t mean Netflix has totally abandoned the idea of bringing movies to add diversity and compete with Amazon and Hulu for streaming supremacy. It also means more new documentaries like Cooked and My Beautiful Broken Brain. This means new Netflix Original series like Marvel’s Jessica Jones, Master of None, Love, Flaked and so much more.
