Calendar 5/18/2026

Netflix has an enormous library of films, which means many great productions can easily be missed. However, among the less obvious titles, you can find some really strong dramas and highly acclaimed stories based on true events. Here are three films worth checking out this weekend.

BlackBerry

The film tells the story of the rise and fall of the legendary BlackBerry smartphones, which dominated the mobile market in the early 2000s. The production showcases the behind-the-scenes of technological success, business conflicts, and the pressures associated with the rapid growth of the company. “BlackBerry” was very well received by critics and audiences, with particular praise for Glenn Howerton's performance. The film combines the atmosphere of a technological drama with a dynamic pace and a generous dose of humour.

The End of the Tour

This is a calmer, more intimate drama based on the true story of journalist David Lipsky's meeting with writer David Foster Wallace. The film mainly focuses on the conversations between the characters, their relationships, and reflections on success, loneliness, and the lives of creators. The production is often referred to as one of the most underrated releases of the second half of the previous decade.

20th Century Women

“20th Century Women” is a warm coming-of-age drama set in California at the end of the 1970s. The film tells the story of the relationship between a mother and her son, as well as the women who influence the protagonist's maturation. The production has been praised for its excellent script, period atmosphere, and strong performances. Annette Bening's performance, along with Greta Gerwig's role, has been particularly highlighted.
