20 Best Netflix Original Movies Of 2019 - Ranked
1. Marriage Story
Marriage Story isn't exactly the most cheerful movie you can watch over the festive period, but it's essential viewing, even if you decide to save it for the cold light of January.
With two powerhouse performances from Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson - the former of whom deserves an Oscar win, the latter at least a nomination - a refreshingly honest look at the nuances of a breakup, and a minimalist filmmaking approach that is accented with a few delightful Wes Anderson-style beats of humour, Noah Baumbach's latest is his most compelling work to date.
There's an argument scene in the middle of the film that's one of the finest acting displays in recent memory, made all the more impressive by the fact that the camera will often stay still for an extended period of time, soaking up all the intensity of the scene and funnelling it right into your eyeballs.
Marriage Story is transfixing from start to end, and it's honestly quite amazing that we got it for free on Netflix.
