I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
as people move on from a two hour adventure eventually, and Hit Man has now lost the #1 spot there. The 96% rated movie was universally praised but has been unseated by a new film, and not a Netflix original at that.
That would be Tell Them You Love Me, a 2023 true crime documentary, the type of thing that is usually big on Netflix, but these are also usually miniseries, not movies. This one is just an hour and forty minutes long, which is probably too short for a three-parter.“Tell Them You Love Me explores the extraordinary story of Anna Stubblefield, an esteemed university professor who becomes embroiled in a controversial affair with Derrick Johnson, a non-verbal man with cerebral palsy.
The film does not have enough ratings on Rotten Tomatoes for a score, and a few dozen audience reviews give it an 82%. Given that the subject matter is probably not going to be widely recommended, I would not expect it to stay on the top of the list long, and it seems likely that Hit Man will once again replace it, barring any further new additions.Hit Man has been #1 to this point since its release on June 7, and it is impressive to see a movie last weeks that high on the list.
Hit Man was a rare, unequivocal win for Netflix’s original film wing, which often produces widely watched but relatively low quality blockbusters. That was not the case this time, as the comedy was stellar on every front, cemented Powell as a Hollywood star and also serves as a breakout for Adria Arjona, who will now lead an Amazon series soon.
I predict Hit Man will return to the #1 spot soon with Tell Them You Love Me moving on rather quick, but we’ll have to see.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations. We want our readers to share their views and exchange ideas and facts in a safe space.
