The best drama movie you missed in theaters just arrived on streaming — and it’s 91% on Rotten Tomatoes

A curious thing happened when I watched “Evil Does Not Exist” in theaters earlier this year. When the credits began to roll, nobody moved. Usually in a packed cinema screen the second the movie ends there’s a dash to the exit, but in this case, it was as if the whole auditorium had stopped to catch its breath and consider the movie we’d just watched. 

This acclaimed drama from “Drive My Car” director Ryusuke Hamaguchi is an extraordinarily thoughtful movie. It’s not just a drama flick that will have you glued to the screen throughout its runtime, it’s also a rare feature that will have you reflecting on what you’ve just witnessed long after the credits have finished rolling, and it might even inspire you to consider making a few changes in your own life.
