Netflix original movies aren’t always warmly embraced by critics. In fact, in any given year, there are usually more new flicks on the popular streaming service with a rotten score than a fresh one. However, among the cheesy rom-coms and generic action-thrillers, there are always a strong handful of new Netflix movies that pull an impressive rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
2025 isn’t quite over yet (though it’s alarming how fast the year has sped by), but over the past 11 months, Netflix has debuted several movies that earned Rotten Tomatoes scores close to perfect (and one with 100%). These range from a soulful period drama to the latest installment in a murder-mystery favorite. And of course, there’s a certain K-pop band in the mix as well.
