What are the films and series not to be missed this week on the streaming platform?
HIS THREE DAUGHTERS
- Already available
- Duration: 1h41
What is it about? About three sisters, who come together to care for their dying father.
Why should you watch it? Three reasons to see His three daughters : the three actresses. Carrie Coon, that’s the beautiful role of Ben Affleck’s sister in Gone Girlit’s season 3 of Fargoand of course it is The Leftovers. Natasha Lyonne is this fun actress from the 90s and 2000s (But I’m a Cheeleader, American Pie), which has been given a new lease of life thanks to Orange is the New Black, Russian doll And Poker Face. And Elizabeth Olsen is an actress who deserves not to be summed up as Marvel, as has been proven Martha Marcy May Marlene, Wind RiverOr Sorry for your loss.
Written and directed by Azazel Jacobs (Terri, French Exit), His three daughters was presented at the Toronto festival in 2023, where Netflix dropped $7 million to get their hands on it. And since the formula of the little family drama has its limits, with in particular three characters who are too expected and not enough scenes to exploit their relationships, there is only one thing left: the three actressesobviously excellent.
ASTEROID CITY
- Available September 21st
- Duration: 1h46
What is it about? ? From a small town lost in the middle of the desert that welcomes a group of gifted children to present their inventions and a bunch of other people.
Why should you watch it? Because it is the big comeback of filmmaker Wes Anderson after The French Dispatch. At first glance, Asteroid City looks like another potpourri bringing together all the motifs and all the plastic obsessions of the director, but this story of characters trapped in a miniature city can also be interpreted as a questioning of this straitjacket which has made his reputation.
More simply, It’s a beautiful and tender story about lost people who land in a lost city. and experience love, friendship or “the other” in its broadest sense. It’s about learning to (re)create the bond and get out of the abyss. It’s absurd, beautiful, touching and more accessible than the Russian doll-like narration suggests. Plus, we still have a bunch of talented actors and actresses: Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Maya Hawke, Adrian Brody, Edward Norton, Margot Robbie…
NOBODY WANTS THIS
- Available September 26th
- Duration: 10 episodes of 30 minutes
What is it about? About an agnostic podcaster and a rabbi who fall in love. This is not a joke.
Why should you watch it? Between Veronica Mars And The Good Placeit must be admitted that Kristen Bell holds a special place in the hearts of some TV series fans. If the pitch of Nobody Wants This may seem a little easy (a romantic comedy that questions tolerance and the way others look at it), its trailer reveals its sweet candy nature, which necessarily depends on its offbeat situations and the alchemy between its actors.
Kristen Bell thus faces Adam Brody, as a podcaster used to narrating her bizarre and toxic relationships in a relationship that she hosts with her sister. With its gallery of wacky characters (the mother-in-law, who seems quite atrocious), it could well be a little treat ideal for romance lovers.
A PERFECT GENTLEMAN
- Available September 26th
- Duration: 1h50
What is it about? An escort boy, for whom seducing women is a way of life, questions everything when he begins to fall in love with one of them.
Why should you watch it? You fell under the spell of Ryan Gosling in Crazy, Stupid, Love ? If so, maybe this new version ofa seduction expert with a supposedly impregnable heart you will also like. But this time, no second degree, sinceA perfect Gentleman is not a comedy, on the contrary.
This new Turkish film directed by Onur Bilgetay, with Çagatay Ulusoy in the lead role, is presented as an intense and sexy drama. The setting? Luxury and appearances, which only call to be surpassed in the course of the existential crisis experienced by the hero. Enough to attract fans of Fifty Shades of Grey and other romances tinged with the forbidden.
BUT ALSO…
The Turkey, We All Want to Be Saved (Season 2)…
