The 10 best films on Netflix in February 2022
A Kanye doc fresh from Sundance joins The Addams Family, The Dark Knight, and more
Film Features Films
New-movie pickings for the shortest month of the year are relatively light at Netflix, but that’s to be expected—the streaming service has been emphasizing in-house content over catalog titles for years now. And although it’s being chopped into three parts for streaming, one of those Netflix Originals, jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy, played at this year’s Sundance Film Festival as a 4 1/2 hour feature, and thus makes our list.
Looking deeper into Netflix’s February comings and goings, we mostly find a selection of quality Hollywood crowd-pleasers like The Addams Family, The Dark Knight, The Other Guys, and Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs. But auteur-driven cinema makes an appearance as well, with two under-appreciated films from Michael Mann (Blackhat) and the Safdie brothers (Good Time).

A C+ Kanye hagiography is one of the ten best movies on Netflix? Gee, how much do you have to pay for that kind of ringing endorsement?
Edge of Seventeen is wonderful but not “the only gay teen romance that fully convinces.” Beautiful Thing has its charm and heartache too.
