Malcolm X – Netflix 12/1
The Last Black Man in San Francisco – Prime 12/5
Marriage Story – Netflix 12/6
Wild Rose – Hulu 12/16
Malcolm X is an increasingly rare great movie added to Netflix. Spike Lee’s masterful biopic features Denzel Washington’s finest hour. Everyone knows he should have won over Al Pacino, but the movie itself should have led all eligible categories that year.
The other three films are among the best of 2019: The Last Black Man in San Francisco is a poetic ode to a city that’s increasingly forcing all its most vibrant residents out. Marriage Story is Noah Baumbach’s brilliant, heart-wrenching comedy about a marriage falling apart, featuring career-best work from Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson. And Wild Rose announces the arrival of Jessie Buckley as a major talent.

Killing Eve (Season 2) – Hulu 12/18
I was a lot higher on this season than a lot of people. Even though it’s in some ways less surprising than that incredible first season, there’s no denying the trifecta of great performances from its main ladies: Fiona Hill, Sandra Oh and Emmy winner Jodie Comer.

John Mulaney and the Sack Lunch Bunch – Netflix 12/24
I’ll watch literally anything John Mulaney does (except his failed sitcom). If he wants to make his own version of a PBS kids’ show, then by God, I’m going to watch it.
