It’s been a quieter week than the last for new movies but there’s still a few hidden gems (particularly when it comes to documentaries) that got added over the past 7 days. Here are the best new movies to find their way onto Netflix over the past 7 days.
As we mentioned, the movie lineup this week isn’t particularly strong given Netflix seemed to get most new movies added in the first week of August.
