Little Women is great.
Knifes Out is a ton of fun.
Ad Astra is a pretty dud.

I don't think any recent movies meet their new criteria.

Our internet sucks and we want to watch a movie we haven't seen before in HD. It's been a while. We usually just rewatch Boogie Nights or something.

Why is your internet so bad? You can't even stream a movie?

Yeah, rural lyfe. I can stream but it's not high quality. Probably need to drink more water I guess.

That's crazy. I live in a rural area and my internet sucks, but I can still comfortably stream movies. How much do you pay for your service?

Have you tried running an ethernet cable to your ps4? That made a big difference for me.

$100/mo.! All that's available. It's not terrible quality but not great. Raz can't even really tell but I'm picky.

Wasn't the issue that it *wasn't* lauded enough? Which, at a year's remove, was probably the correct choice.

Well since a female directed it and Meryl Streep is in the credits it probably should have won.
