4 films that just arrived on Netflix to watch

Having something new to watch every week is part of the excitement and experience of streaming. Revista Bula brought the latest premieres from Netflix to remind you of what not to miss, especially if you want to enjoy the weekend to relax, stay at home and rest your head. These films are also a kind of exercise in looking at how different filmmakers appropriate established genres to reinvent them. In these four distinct narrative paths, they converge in an attempt to understand the chaos in the human experience.

Each of them invites the audience into a kind of emotional marathon. From restlessness to tenderness, from melancholic laughter to silent discomfort. These works balance rhythm and depth, with narratives that remain resonant even after the final credits. For a weekend of immersion, they offer the most stimulating thing about cinema: the possibility of getting lost in stories that, deep down, talk about all of us.

A Woman in the Cabin (2025), Simon Stone

During a luxury cruise, a journalist embarks on a trip that should consolidate her career, but ends up becoming a nightmare. On a stormy night, she witnesses a woman being thrown overboard, however, when reporting what happened, she discovers that all the passengers are properly registered and no one seems to have disappeared. Isolated, discredited and increasingly paranoid, she begins to investigate on her own, plunging into a labyrinth of silences, appearances and carefully covered lies. As the search for truth intensifies, the border between lucidity and delirium blurs, and the trip that began as a routine job turns into a desperate fight for survival.

Caramelo (2025), Diego Freitas

Pedro, a young chef about to realize his dream of opening his own restaurant, sees his plans fall apart after receiving a diagnosis that completely changes his life. Forced to slow down and rethink his priorities, he finds unlikely support in a caramel mutt, a street dog with sweet eyes and a restless temperament, who starts to accompany him on his journey to a new beginning. Between silent walks and tender moments, a friendship is born that helps him rediscover the meaning of small things and the strength to face the future with lightness. Filmed in the interior of São Paulo, the film transforms the figure of the caramel dog, a symbol of Brazilian affection and resistance, into a metaphor of unconditional love and hope. With delicacy and humor, the story shows that, sometimes, the true flavor of life is precisely in the breaks we don’t plan.

Limpa (2025), Dominga Sotomayor Castilla

A lonely woman, working as a cleaner in a luxury residential complex, sees her routine turned upside down after an episode of violence in one of the apartments. Forced to confront her own limits and memories, she embarks on a journey of purification, physical and emotional, that transcends work and pain. The surfaces she cleans reflect not only the dirt of others but also the traces of her own guilt and hope. Amid the silence of the corridors, she discovers that starting over can be an act as arduous as it is redemptive.

The Rejected (2023), Alexander Payne

In the late 1970s, a group of misfit students are forced to remain at school over Thanksgiving break, under the supervision of a tired and disillusioned teacher. The forced coexistence, initially hostile, turns into an unlikely coexistence marked by confessions, ironies and small epiphanies. Between empty rooms and snow-covered hallways, teenagers and adults discover that they share the same feeling of inadequacy. The weekend, which seemed like a punishment, becomes a melancholic portrait of youth and everything that is lost when growing up.
