January isn’t traditionally the best time of year for new releases. But the streaming era could be changing that: one of the movies coming to Netflix Canada in January 2021 is the indie drama “Pieces of a Woman,” which earned rave reviews for Vanessa Kirby (a.k.a. Princess Margaret in the first two seasons of “The Crown”) at a number of festivals last year.
Also coming to Netflix Canada in the new year: new seasons of “Riverdale,” “Cobra Kai” and “Disenchantment;” documentaries about the cocaine industry, the afterlife, and serial killer Richard Ramirez; and a show about swear words hosted by Nicolas Cage. On Netflix and in the wider world, it’s going to be a disorienting time.
