The 7 Best New Movies to Netflix in September 2022
Netflix releases a lot of original films each month, to the point where it’s virtually impossible for any mere mortal to keep track of them all. Most inevitably get lost in the shuffle, dropping without a whimper until the algorithm delivers them to the top of your feed when you least expect it.
But every once in a while, a Netflix movie is so big that its dominance over that month’s film discourse is an inevitability. Good or bad, you know that it’s all anyone is going to be talking about when it drops on the site. That’s certainly the case with “Blonde,” Andrew Dominik’s Marilyn Monroe film that has earned praise for its bold casting of Ana de Armas and controversy for its NC-17 rating and highly sexual content. Even decades after her death, America’s fascination with Marilyn Monroe has not begun to wane. The late star and the myths surrounding her still captivate us as much as ever, and Dominik’s film is certain to be a discussion-provoking entry into the canon of films about her.
