Runtime: 102 min / 1h 42m
Sony Pictures Classics movies were all expected to come to Netflix via the first window deal, but thus far, only a selection have made the jump to streaming. We’re happy to report that the Oscar-nominated Living, starring Bill Nighy, has made that jump.
The feel-good story sees a man who has let life pass him but, at the eleventh hour, makes a supreme effort to turn his dull life into something wonderful.
Adam Graham from Detroit News perhaps perfectly summarized the movie concluding in his review, “A little movie about big topics, Living takes on nothing less than life itself and features a quiet, note-perfect performance from Bill Nighy.”
Shovel Knight Pocket Edition
Created by Yacht Club Games, this new iteration of the Shovel Knight platformer IP will see you battling foes, collecting relics and matching blocks to save friends and escape in this genre-bending spinoff set in the puzzle dimension.
In case you didn’t see, Netflix announced dates and new games to its upcoming roster, such as Cut the Rope Daily and The Queen’s Gambit Chess game.
