Best Netflix movies: The Meyerowitz Stories  

Release Year: 2017

Written and Directed by Noah Baumbach

Starring Dustin Hoffman, Adam Sandler, Elizabeth Marvel, Emma Thompson and Ben Stiller

The Meyerowitz Stories is the most recently released Netflix original film, and it’s the best movie Netflix has made so far. Watch out Oscars; this movie could be Netflix’s first Oscar!

The film tells the story of several adult children living in their father’s shadow. After an event puts things in jeopardy, a family is forced to confront uncomfortable situations and the past.

While all the acting performances in this movie are great, Sandler is getting particularly high praise for his role in the film. If you like Sandler and his movies, you have to see this movie; you’ll see a side of him you’ve never seen before.

This movie is not for everybody, a quality many Baumbach movies have. But, if you love film or good family dramas with excellent performances and an interesting story, The Meyerowitz Stories is the movie for you tonight.
