Netflix Hidden Gems: Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist (2008)

I remember watching this movie when it first came out ten years ago, and I remember enjoying it. So, when I saw that it was on Netflix, I figured I’d give it another watch.

Begin Again, I would say, has a very similar feel in how the dialogue flows and how natural everything seems to be. It all … Continue reading Netflix Hidden Gems: Begin Again
