15 Best Netflix Original Movies Of 2020 (So Far)
1. A Secret Love
Produced by the dream team of Blumhouse's Jason Blum and American Horror Story's Ryan Murphy, one could be excused for assuming from that information alone that A Secret Love is a horror film using its sweet title ironically.
Not so, though, as the film is in fact a moving and deeply affecting tale of a pro baseball player who hides her secret love from family for seven long decades. Oh, and it's a documentary, in case your stone heart isn't moved yet.
A lesbian couple entering their nineties by the time their story was told, Terry Donahue and Pat Henschel make for fascinating subjects, charming, witty, and resiliently blunt in the face of unimaginable prejudice and hardship.
Of course, it isn't hard for two people in love to come across so content. If you can finish this one without a smile on your face, you may want to ensure you've still got a pulse.
