This month’s titles include new films directed by David Fincher and George Clooney, loads of new holiday originals, and more!

Keep reading to see what’s new to Netflix for December 2020!


Netflix Pick of the Month for December 2020

Mank Oldman Netflix December

We’ve already written a couple of different pieces on David Fincher’s Mankour review and a look at its long road to production — and now it’s finally ready to premiere on December 4th. Written by Fincher’s father, the film follows Herman J. Mankiewicz (played by Gary Oldman) as he works on the script for Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane. Drama, comedy, and insight swirl together creating a fascinating and engaging glimpse behind the curtain of artistry and ownership, and while it lacks the murder and death of most Fincher films, it’s no less compelling for it.


Action Movies for Dad

Braven

There are great action movies, and there are bad action movies, but there are very few action movies that dads don’t like. Three films hitting Netflix this month deliver thrills and drama even though far too many critics dismissed them as unworthy. Peppermint (2018) is easily the most controversial of the bunch. It stars Jennifer Garner as a woman who sees her husband and child slaughtered by gang members only to return for vengeance in the weeks that follow. Some people take issue with her being white while the Hispanic gang members aren’t, but your dad won’t care about that.

Quigley Down Under (1990) isn’t controversial in the slightest, but it does star Tom Selleck as an American cowboy finding action in Australia against an evil Alan Rickman. Not everyone can handle Selleck’s TV star power in feature-length form, but your dad can. Finally, Jason Momoa stars as Braven (2018) which arrives on December 17th. It’s a fun direct to video action romp with attractive settings and an angry Momoa, and your dad will enjoy it.


New Movies Released in 2020

Ava

You might find this hard to believe, but some new movies were actually released in 2020, and three of them are hitting Netflix this month. Proceed accordingly. Ava (2020) hits on December 7th and features Jessica Chastain as an assassin — which is probably all the info you need to determine if it’s for you.

It’s unclear who exactly asked for Bobbleheads: The Movie (2020), but if you’ve longed for an animated feature about living bobblehead figures, then prepare to be excited starting December 8th. Speaking of bobbleheads, Pauly Shore is back and starring in Guest House (2020) which opens its doors on December 18th. Like I said, proceed accordingly.


More New Netflix Originals!

The Midnight Sky George Clooney As Dr Augustine Lofthouse

Mank is obviously this month’s highest-profile original hitting Netflix, but it’s not the only one. The next most anticipated is probably the latest from director and star George Clooney: The Midnight Sky (premiering December 23rd). He stars as a scientist trying to stop astronauts from returning to a damaged Earth, and it sounds like some wonderfully bleak and thought-provoking sci-fi.

Chadwick Boseman makes his final film appearance on Netflix with the August Wilson adaptation Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom (arriving December 18th). Viola Davis also stars in the movie in the title role as the “Mother of the Blues,” and both actor and actress are already receiving tons of acclaim and awards buzz — Boseman, who died of cancer in August, is a frontrunner for a posthumous Oscar.

Shonda Rhimes’ production company brings the new series Bridgerton to Netflix starting December 25th, and while I was surprised to discover this, it’s romantic fun and best described as Jane Austen by way of Grey’s Anatomy. It’s alternately sexy, sweet, and entertaining period fun.
