One movie that would’ve absolutely been top of our movie recommendations for the week is The Piano 1993 which arrives on Netflix US today.
Here’s what you can expect from the New Zealand produced movie that scored 3 Oscars:
“With her daughter and her beloved piano in tow, a mute Scottish woman arrives in New Zealand, where a gruff loner sets out to seduce her.”
Pre-warning if you base your opinion on the movie from the trailer we’ve embedded below then you’ll not be giving the movie a fair shake.
Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai (Season 1)
Genre: Animation, Drama, Fantasy
Cast: Kaito Ishikawa, Asami Seto, Yurika Kubo

On face value, this is everything your parents think anime is about and to be fair, they’re probably bang on the money for this one.
Here’s what you can expect from the rather strange anime series:
“After experiencing “puberty syndrome” himself, high school pariah Sakuta keeps meeting girls suffering from it, including his sister and actor Mai.”
