For most movie lovers and cord-cutters, Netflix is the go to site for all things streaming.
Others may prefer Amazon Prime or with the brand new addition of Disney+ their strong line-up of debut content is reflected in the insane number of initial sign-ups to the platform.

Lady Bird
Lady Bird is a standing proof that Greta Gerwig not only has a fantastic talent but is also capable of pushing herself beyond the limits.
The movie was created in an autobiographical nature, making it personal and very specific. The movie is a great example of coming of age dramedy.
Laurie Metcalf and Saoirse Ronan are both incredible as they relish the lows and highs of the mother-daughter relationships.
Watching Lady Bird go through a rocky senior year in high school alongside all the mistakes that a teenager makes also turns Gerwig’s premier into an unforgettable film.

The sequel continues Cole’s story, now a high school student, but must fight again to survive over a single night.

Alive
Alive is a Korean zombie box office starring Park Shin-Hye and Yoo Ah-In.
The film is all about a lone man who stays in his apartment as a grisly virus continues to rampage his city.

The Social Dilemma
Directed by Jeff Orlowski, this documentary-drama hybrid explores the impact of smartphones and human’s social networking.
Netflix describes the documentary as both provocative and investigative, jolting out the sense of well-being and complacency in modern society.

For instance, the film briefly mentions that WhatsApp was involved in spreading the misinformation that led to the grotesque lynchings in India.
