Whenever Netflix adds a movie with a high Rotten Tomatoes score, subscribers tend to take notice. With “Zola” boasting a strong 88% rating on the review aggregate website, this crime thriller with comedic elements is a recent arrival worth adding to your watchlist. Curiously, it’s actually based on a Twitter thread (now known as X), which might sound like a ludicrous source for movie inspiration, but it proves good ideas can spring from anywhere.Earning multiple nominations at the 37th Independent Spirit Awards, including Best Film, Best Director (for Janicza Bravo) and two wins, for Best Female Lead (for Taylour Paige) and Best Editing, “Zola” sees a waitress (the eponymous Zola) invited by a customer to Florida for a weekend of partying. However, this 48-hour sun-soaked getaway quickly warps into a hedonistic odyssey of chaos involving gangsters, dimwitted boyfriends and illicit activities.Watch "Zola" on Netflix now"Snowden" (2016)
