A quarter-century later, it's safe to say that those days have come to an end. Not only does the streaming-only Netflix of the twenty-twenties no longer transmit movies on DVD through the mail (a service its younger users have trouble even imagining), it ranks approximately nowhere as a preferred cinephile destination. That has to do with a selection much diminished since the DVD days
A project of Wikipedia's volunteer community, WikiFlix hosts over four thousand movies from Wikimedia Commons, the Internet Archive, or YouTube that have fallen into the public domain - that means they are free to share and distribute, usually because the copyright lapsed, or there was never any copyright at all. So, yes, most of the movies on the WikiFlix homepage are your grandma's age, but isn't it kind of fun to imagine what Netflix would've been like back in the day?
Harris Dickinson's characters are demarcated by specific class consciousnesses: Coney Island's Frankie in Beach Rats, who cruises for older men on a webcam site; a particular brand of selfishness and vulnerability as a model and influencer in Triangle of Sadness; most recently, a supremely confident intern who casts a domineering spell over a tech CEO in Babygirl. Urchin, the film Dickinson chose as his feature directorial debut vehicle (he's directed shorts before, as early as 2013), stars Frank Dillane ( Fear the Walking Dead)
