20 Best Netflix 2017 Original Movies - Ranked
10. Our Souls At Night
Romantic dramas starring octogenarians are in incredibly short supply, especially those starring actors as ridiculously talented as Robert Redford and Jane Fonda, who substantially elevate this entertaining, quietly affecting little film.
Redford and Fonda give hauntingly memorable performances as two bereaved, elderly neighbours who form a connection to stave off loneliness. There's not a ton to it narratively, but Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber's script digs down deep with the two central characters and creates two achingly human portraits.
With plenty of insight into the human condition, Our Souls at Night isn't as stylish or action-packed as most of the movies on this list, but its low-key delights speak for themselves.
