Whether it’s their own selection of original films, including Moxie and Yes Day, or some throwback hits like Dirty Dancing, there is definitely a film for everyone.
We’re rounded up the best films arriving on the streaming service in March.
Films to watch on Netflix UK in March
March 3 – Moxie
Directed by Amy Poehler and based on the novel by Jennifer Mathieu, the film follows Vivian (Hadley Robinson), a 16-year-old high school student who takes action against the problematic behaviour of her peers. She anonymously publishes an underground zine called Moxie to expose bias and wrongdoing in the corridors. With this, Vivian unexpectedly sparks a movement and finds herself at the centre of a revolution.
March 4 – The Art of Self-Defense
After getting attacked on the street, Casey (Jesse Eisenberg) enlists in a local dojo, led by a mysterious sensei, in a bid to learn how to defend himself. Soon after his arrival, he unwittingly uncovers a sinister fraternity in the dojo, and embarks on a twisted journey that places him squarely in the sights of his new mentor.
March 12 – Yes Day
Always feeling like they have to say “NO” to their kids and co-workers, Allison (Jennifer Garner) and Carlos (Edgar Ramirez) decide to give their three children a “YES” day for 24 hours, where the youngsters make the rules. What could go wrong?
March 12 – Pet Sematary
The 2019 flick is based on the horror novel by Stephen King.
