Every 2016 Netflix Original Movie Ranked Worst To Best
5. 7 Años
Netflix's first original Spanish production, 7 Años is a tightly-wound chamber piece that revolves around four business partners who are facing jail for tax evasion, and must decide, with the help of a mediator, which one of them will take the fall and spend 7 years in prison.
It's a deliciously simple premise, and while the play-like construction won't be to all tastes nor the admittedly underwhelming finale, the strong performances and dramatic intensity make it effortlessly engaging at just 77 minutes in length.
It has a fairly amateur, low-rent feel to it, but for those in the mood for something undemanding yet totally engaging, 7 Años does a terrific job with its sheer economy.
