Hello and welcome to your end-of-week recap of what’s new on Netflix for March eighth. We’ll be digging into the 22 new releases which have touched down on Netflix this week, plus trying on the high 10s for immediately and the previous week and what’s heading your means over the weekend.
As we laid out once we lined this week’s upcoming titles final Sunday, it was set to be a lot quieter when it comes to the quantity of output, however there have undoubtedly been just a few surprises this week and, higher but, some glorious new releases so let’s dig in:
Best New Releases on Netflix This Weekend
Damsel (2024)
Rating: PG-13
Language: English
Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy
Director: Juan Carlos Fresnadillo
Cast: Millie Bobby Brown, Ray Winstone, Angela Bassett
Writer: Dan Mazeau
Runtime: 108 min / 1h 48m
One of Netflix’s big-budget fantasy motion pictures simply dropped on Netflix immediately and can undoubtedly do massive numbers within the high 10s all through the weekend, because of its solid led by Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown.
The plot revolves round a princess who believed she was being set as much as marry a good-looking prince, solely to seek out out she’s been offered down the river to be trapped in a cave with a fire-breathing dragon.
Our assessment, revealed this morning by Andrew Morgan, wasn’t overly variety, saying that the film basically wasted Millie Bobby Brown, who’s on the peak of her profession proper now. Morgan concluded:
“Damsel is a very average, very thin, & often boring letdown for fans of Millie Bobby Brown’s previous Netflix output. While its messaging is in the right place, we can’t ride with a character we don’t know.”
Your Lucky Day (2023)
Rating: R
Language: English
Genre: Thriller
Director: Dan Brown
Cast: Angus Cloud, Elliot Knight, Jessica Garza
Writer: Dan Brown
Runtime: 89 min / 1h 29m
As we reported yesterday, Your Lucky Day makes its SVOD debut immediately (meaning it’s the primary time it’s been out there as a part of a subscription) on Netflix US. It serves as one of many final motion pictures of the younger actor Angus Cloud, who sadly handed away final yr below essentially the most tragic of circumstances.
Here’s what you’ll be able to anticipate from the film which acquired rave critiques when it debuted late final yr.
“After a dispute over a winning lottery ticket turns into a deadly hostage situation, the witnesses must decide exactly how far they’ll go—and how much blood they’re willing to spill—for a cut of the $156 million.”
The Wave (2015)
Rating: R
Language: Norwegian
Genre: Action, Drama, Thriller
Director: Roar Uthaug
Cast: Kristoffer Joner, Ane Dahl Torp, Jonas Hoff Oftebro
Writer: John Kåre Raake, Harald Rosenløw-Eeg, Martin Sundland
Runtime: 105 min / 1h 45m
If you have been or are a fan of Netflix’s Troll (fairly just a few of it’s essential to have watched it given it bought a sequel order and ranks the very best among the many most-watched non-English language motion pictures). In that case, we must always undoubtedly put The Wave in your radar, which returned to Netflix quietly yesterday.
The Norwegian motion thriller is a couple of small group that’s going through imminent destruction from an oncoming tsunami and it’s down to at least one geologist to avoid wasting all of them.
We’ll have extra high titles added this week by way of our what to look at roundup.
