It’s been a shitty old week and we’re all snotty and grotty today. What uplifting film can I watch on Netflix later?

I found Edie uplifting although I also cried in it!

SussexBornAndFed · 24/01/2020 15:50

Ooh! Haven’t seen that. Thanks for the suggestion :)

Dumplin

Another vote for Dumplin'.

I love Pride, Kinky Boots and Love Rosie but they all seem to have gone from Netflix now!

About Time is a good one but has sad moments.

Not sure if it's Netflix but we watched Green Book last weekend and loved it.

Dumplin is brilliant

spiderlight · 24/01/2020 19:14

Another recommendation for 'Edie' and 'Domplin'. I really enjoyed 'The Fundamentals of Caring' as well.

Ribenaberriesgowoo82 · 24/01/2020 19:26

Loved Dumplin'.

MrsTumbletap · 24/01/2020 19:27

Why is it that everybody loved about Dumplin? I thought it was average at best.

V1ckyCh1ck · 24/01/2020 19:27

Fighting with my Family

About Time is a lovely feel good film.

HetHetHet · 24/01/2020 19:33

I absolutely loved Wine Country. It's funny, smart and has a great female cast - Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph etc. I thought it was a real treat and have watched it a couple of times.

ZenNudist · 24/01/2020 19:34

About time and Dumplin are dross. Green book is fab.

Freddiefox · 24/01/2020 19:35

Sandy wexler loved it, great film

TheLastUNIC0RN · 24/01/2020 19:50

Definitely the upside. I haven't seen the US remake but the French one is one of my favourite films. Dumpling I thought was just ok.
Loved "fighting with my family" also

LuisaKelmen · 24/01/2020 19:54

Julia & Julia- 2009- but great movie, really enjoyed.🌻

Cohle · 24/01/2020 19:54

About time had me weeping buckets. I wouldn't watch it if you're feeling delicate.

HetHetHet · 24/01/2020 20:32

Cohle I feel the same about it - I really enjoyed the premise but watched it at a time in my life when the last 10 minutes of the film totally ruined it for me because of real life events.

Cohle · 24/01/2020 20:52

Spoiler for About Time

Yes, I really wouldn't watch it if anything has happened to your father OP. Thanks

Diagnosis. Really uplifting at new ways rare medical issues are been solved. The first one with Angel had me in tears.

Nixee2231 · 24/01/2020 21:04

Fundamentals of caring was really wonderful and uplifting.
