Romance is in the air as February is upon us. From love stories like Eat Pray Love and Sing Street to Peter Jackson’s epic Lord Of The Rings trilogy, Netflix has a nice variety of rom-coms, horror films, classics, and more to keep you cozied up on the couch all month long.
True Spirit (Available February 3)
Based on a true story, Sarah Spillane’s is about 16-year-old Jessica Watson (Teagan Croft), who attempts to be the youngest person to sail solo around the world. The film also stars Anna Paquin as Jessica’s either incredibly trusting or totally absent mom, Julie, which is important to note because, since when is Paquin old enough to be playing the mother of a teenager? The film looks exciting and engaging as we bear witness to young Watson facing countless dangers at sea while also confronting her own issues and fears along the way.
Sing Street is so good! I recommend it to anyone who will listen to me talk. It’s from the same writer/director who did Once. The music is great, the performances are lovely. It’s so good!

Oh god I have to cancel Netflix if these are the BEST things to watch all month.

That is a good one.
What is a “challenging divorce”? Was there like an obstacle course?
