Netflix Recent Big Hit Dethroned From US Top by 89%-Rated Documentary
Glen Powell’s high-rated movie now has no chances against a real-life thrilling story.
Things change quite quickly in Netflix ’s global top, and this week seems to have marked the end of the overall triumph for Glen Powell ’s brand new action movie Hit Man that’s been dominating the US top 10 chart ever since its digital release a couple of weeks ago.
Though the film was expected to be dethroned by some other hit coming to the platform soon, Hit Man was actually beaten by a very unexpected flick recounting an eerie real-life story that shook the American society up back in 2015.
One of Netflix’s most recent arrivals, a 2023 documentary titled Tell Them You Love Me, landed on the streaming platform less than a week ago, yet has already succeeded in getting Netflix viewers glued to their screens.
The movie that lasts a bit less than two hours follows the scandalous case of Anna Stubblefield, a Rutgers University professor who got caught having a weird affair with Derrick Johnson, a non-verbal man with cerebral palsy.
According to Anna’s personal revelations in the courtroom back in 2015, her actions were motivated by a noble mission to let Derrick open his mind by teaching him how to use a keyboard for communication.
With exclusive interviews from both sides of the case, Tell Them You Love Me is believed to bring a completely different perspective to our own perceptions regarding disability and the whole notion of consent, as well as to challenge the viewers’ beliefs about racial controversy and sex.
Dropped on Netflix on June 14, the documentary has no reviews from critics on Rotten Tomatoes so far, though it seems to be doing just fine with the streaming’s audience that attributed it an impressive score of 89%.
Tell Them You Love Me can now be streamed on Netflix worldwide.
