This Month’s Critic’s Picks
🎟️⭐ The Piano Lesson
Adapted from an August Wilson play of the same name, The Piano Lesson is filmmaker Malcom Washington’s feature directorial debut. Set after the Great Depression, the film follows the Charles family (made up of Samuel L. Jackson, John David Washington, and Danielle Deadwyler) as they discuss what to do with the family heirloom, their piano. (Streaming November 22.)
More November highlights:
➽ Arcane, season 2 — Netflix’s library in November feels a little light so far, but we’ll go for an underrated pick, Arcane. In its second season, Hailee Steinfeld and Ella Purnell lead the action animated series as two sisters Vi and Jinx, respectively, caught between a utopian city Piltover and its lesser counterpart Zaun. (Streaming November 9.)
➽ Emilia Pérez — This gritty musical (not to be confused with Joker: Folie á Deux) made a lot of noise at Cannes 2024, and now, it’s set to debut on Netflix. Karla Sofia Gascón stars as Emilia Pérez, a cartel boss turned loving matriarch, who seeks the help of her attorney (Zoe Saldaña) to reunite with her former wife (Selena Gomez) and kids after Emilia’s transition. (Streaming November 13.)
