VOD news brings you the best releases of the week on Netflix, HBO, Amazon Prime Video … And there is a lot of material, although it is not well distributed. Of course, positions to choose, Free guy It is the most bombastic thing that you are going to be able to throw at your face. Today we go straight to the point.
Disney +
So let’s start with Disney +, which releases three exclusive contents, all three looking very good, in addition, although Free guy It is the one we have chosen to highlight. And more in catalog.
Free guy
Free guy is one of the big unexpected hits of the last year, an action comedy with touches of adventure, science fiction and even fantasy in which Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) moves like a fish in water … or, rather, like an NPC in the open world. Free guy It is, in short, a light and entertaining movie that almost everyone will like. It doesn’t reinvent anything, but it does the job in a great way.
On the other side of the institute
On the other side of the instituteFor its part, it is a new exclusive Disney + series that also aspires to appeal to the whole family, although its tone and direction is youthful. It is a fantastic anthology with touches of comedy and horror that goes like a glove for the dates we are in.
Reservation Dogs
Finally, Disney + also premieres exclusively Reservation Dogs, a series whose creator is Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok, Jojo rabbit) and saying that is saying enough. In this case, it is a ‘dramedia’ starring Native American adolescents who only dream of escaping from their reservation.

Netflix
We continue with Netflix in the week in which it increases its prices in Spain, but also in the week in which it launches more exclusive content. Crazy, if not for the usual: most of them smell like a chain burger; but, also as always, there are exceptions.
Rescue distance
Among the highlights of the week on Netflix, at least according to specialized critics, is Rescue distance, adaptation of the novel by the Argentine Samanta Schweblin that takes shape as a co-production between Peru, the United States, Chile and Spain. It is not leaving anyone indifferent, and there we leave it because it is a suspense movie and the trailer already says too much.
Trip
More comedy, but also suspense with Trip, a crazy Norwegian movie that you notice because there is Noomi Rapace (Prometheus, Millennium), although the criticism is receiving it as an outlet of the most fun, especially for badly matched marriages.
The forgotten battle
The forgotten battle It’s more of a hunch, as there are hardly any criticisms of this Dutch period war film production that collects a passage from World War II, and that at least in production design will generate interest, if you like this type of cinema.
Violet Evergarden: The Movie
Finally, if you liked the anime series, you will surely want to see its extended conclusion: Violet Evergarden: The Movie. And there is nothing more to say about it.
