Watching A Family Affair really got me thinking about what it means to be a Netflix movie. The streaming giant has released many daring projects, including some of my favorite films of the past few years, but those don’t end up defining the brand. They ask for all of our attention, and even benefit from the close rewatches that streaming makes easy. A Netflix movie, as it’s culturally understood, is much less demanding. It accepts, or perhaps embraces, that the audience’s eyes won’t always be on the screen.
