4 new additions to Netflix to watch this Bank Holiday weekend

Keeley Ryan

The August Bank Holiday weekend is finally here.

And after a week where the weather’s been… a bit all over the place, to put it mildly, over the last few days, the idea of staying in and catching up with the latest films and TV shows on Netflix is super tempting.

Here are four new additions to Netflix to check out this weekend. 

Otherhood

For empty nesters, what’s the difference between letting your children grow up and letting them grow distant?

This year, on Mother’s Day, feeling marginalized and forgotten, long time friends Carol (Angela Bassett), Gillian (Patricia Arquette) and Helen (Felicity Huffman) decide to drive to New York to reconnect with their adult sons, and in the process, they realize their sons are not the only ones whose lives need to change.

A journey to relate becomes a journey of rediscovery that forces these women to redefine their relationships with their children, friends, spouses and most importantly, themselves.

Ex Machina 

Ex Mahina is a 2014 British science ficton film written and directed by Alex Garland.  Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson) a programmer at a huge Internet company, wins a contest that enables him to spend a week at the private estate of Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac), his firm’s brilliant CEO.

When he arrives, Caleb learns that he has been chosen to be the human component in a Turing test to determine the capabilities and consciousness of Ava (Alicia Vikander), a beautiful robot.

However, it soon becomes evident that Ava is far more self-aware and deceptive than either man imagined.

Dear White People: Volume 3

As the students of Winchester embrace new creative challenges and romantic possibilities, a charismatic professor shakes up life on campus.

The Red Sea Diving Resort

 

Inspired by remarkable true life rescue missions, this is the incredible story of a group of international agents and brave Ethiopians who in the early 80s used a deserted holiday retreat in Sudan as a front to smuggle thousands of refugees to Israel.

The undercover team carrying out this mission is led by the charismatic Ari Levinson (Chris Evans) and courageous local Kabede Bimro (Michael Kenneth Williams).
