With cable, Netflix, and internet options, finding the best thing to watch during your downtime is difficult. Instead of flipping through menus all weekend and settling on nothing, turn to What to Watch This Weekend, a series in which we give you our pick for the best new show or movie available. This week we’re going with Imperial Dreams, a former Sundance winner that’s just been released on Netflix. Writer/director Malik Vitthal created a film that’s emotionally nuanced and full of tremendous performances, including one from John Boyega as Bambi, a father who’s just been released from prison. Tackling such big ideas as the effects of poverty and the issues of the criminal justice system, Vitthal’s first feature film will anger and delight you. Hey, there’s a reason it made our list of Netflix picks for February.
