With new arrivals from Netflix from honest documentaries to dramatic adaptations, this month is all about the rise and fall of Abercrombie and Fitch, the dramatic adaptation of the Watergate scandal starring Julia Roberts, and the collection of eight stories by women, surrounding their experience and navigation of societal expectations and personal identity, starring Nicole Kidman.
