It may not have made it into the Best Picture nominations, but Dee Rees’ “Mudbound” remains one of the best films Netflix has done to date and now she reunites with them for her latest work – an adaptation of Joan Didion’s political thriller novel “The Last Thing He Wanted”. Anne Hathaway, Willem Dafoe, Ben Affleck, Toby Jones, Edi Gathegi and Rosie Perez co-star in the story of a woman in the early 1980s who gives up her job as a political journalist to care for her dying father, only to take over the family business – international arms dealing. Boasting a soundtrack by Tamar-kali, the film was shot last Summer in Puerto Rico and will likely score a big push on the streamer in the Fall.
