Finally, a week where Netflix doesn’t surprise us with a ridiculously long list of departures and actually keeps things under control, which feels like a rare moment of mercy.

But if you are planning on getting relaxed because fewer titles are leaving this week, then this list might make you a little bit sad because Netflix is letting some precious movies out this week.

Starting on March 24, we have Netflix’s beloved animated movie, The Wild Robot, saying bye. A film that needs no introduction, but for those who have missed it by any chance, this one is for them. It follows a robot dropped into the wild with no idea how to survive. So a lot of the early part is just trying to understand what’s happening around it, and while that might feel slow at first, it eventually starts coming together.

Right next to it is The Dreams of Elibidi, which, in a very weird way, feels like that title people keep seeing but never actually press play on. Well, it’s leaving soon, so if you still want to give it a try, today is the last day.

Then, March 25 comes in with Wrath of Man leaving Netflix, and if you are still processing The Wild Robot leaving Netflix, it’s time to change the tone. This film is about a cash truck worker (played by Jason Statham), and something about him feels off from the start, not in an obvious way, but enough to make you watch him closely. That instinct pays off when a robbery hits, and the way he handles it makes it clear he is not just there for the job. It’s an interesting watch if you’re in the mood for a thriller. All you have to do is hurry up.

However, things are going to get a little frustrating. March 26, because three completely different titles leave on the same day, which means you can’t really group them together and just get through them easily. To begin with, we have Animal Factory, which places you inside a prison where a young inmate realises that survival depends on who you trust and how fast you learn the system.

Then we have The Pledge, which goes in another direction, following a detective who becomes involved in a case, and that involvement slowly starts affecting him in weird ways. It is followed by a stand-up special, Dave Attell: Hot Cross Buns, where he runs through no-filter jokes and is a hilarious watch.

March 27 brings you I Survived a Crime, and it features real-life incidents told by the people involved, focusing on what happened in the moment and how they made it out.

Finally, March 28 wraps everything up with The Passion of the Christ (2004), which isn’t something you would watch casually, but makes a decent watch when you are in the mood for an indie film.

Luckily, the list is smaller this week, but wrap it up as soon as possible because the beginning of April is going to come with a lot of departures.
