Critical List: Netflix Instant Indie Drama
By Josh RalskeThere is your standard drama, and then there is the kind of drama that Hollywood doesn't seem to make. You might not know about these films, but they're all available on Netflix Instant. Some of these are kind of grim (Winter's Bone, Tyrannosaur), some low-key and charming (Myth of the American Sleepover, Cold Weather), and some defy simple description (Antichrist, Howl), but all of these independent dramas are worth your time. Check out our reviews to find out why.
