1. Marriage Story
There is no other Netflix original that quite compares to the way this film discusses the trials and tribulations of marriage, nuances of familial ties and the dreadful process of divorce—a complicated coast-to-coast one, no less. And apart from the thoughtful cinematography that goes hand-in-hand with the film's sensitive narrative, viewers will find themselves leaving with a different takeaway each time they catch it: from the different character quirks to the subtle mise en scène that adds to each shot.
Starring Scarlett Johansson who plays Nicole Barber, and Laura Dern, who won an Oscar for her role as Barber's powerful lawyer, these strong, unwavering female characters are the epitome of women supporting women in tough times.
