Fall is just around the corner, and with it comes three things: the return of pumpkin spice lattes, sweater weather, and a thrilling new slate of movies hitting Netflix soon. Whether you’re in search of the perfect film for a cozy night in or a holiday crowd-pleaser to share with family, this season’s lineup has something for every mood — and every viewer.
Drama lovers have plenty to get excited about, from Guillermo del Toro’s long-awaited “Frankenstein” to Kathryn Bigelow’s tense thriller “A House of Dynamite,” plus Noah Baumbach’s star-powered “Jay Kelly” (which pairs George Clooney with Adam Sandler), and Clint Bentley’s poignant “Train Dreams.”
Prefer to mix things up? You’ll find murder mysteries (Benoit Blanc is back on the case in Rian Johnson’s “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery”), animated adventures (the magical “In Your Dreams”), psychological suspense (Edward Berger’s “Ballad of a Small Player,” starring Colin Farrell), love stories (“Ruth & Boaz,” produced by DeVon Franklin and Tyler Perry), foreign language gems (“Left-Handed Girl,” a family saga from Taiwan, or France’s “Nouvelle Vague”), and a variety of new documentaries for fans of the investigative kind (Geeta Gandbhir’s “The Perfect Neighbor”) or the more intimate (“EDDIE” — yes, as in Murphy).
And as autumn edges toward the holidays, the festive fare begins. You’ll want to curl up by the fire with four charming, seasonal rom-coms on the wish list this year: “A Merry Little Ex-Mas” (starring Alicia Silverstone), “Champagne Problems” (led by Minka Kelly), “Jingle Bell Heist” (featuring Olivia Holt), and “My Secret Santa” (with Alexandra Breckenridge).
