‘Best place to make movies': Toronto presents Guillermo del Toro with key to the city
TORONTO - Toronto has handed Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro the key to the city in recognition of his affinity for making films here. Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow presented the Mexican-born filmmaker with the ceremonial honour Thursday morning, saying his history of producing films in Toronto has created jobs and supports a local screen industry. In accepting the key, del Toro said he loves Toronto and considers it 'the best place to make movies.' The presentation took place at the waterfront Cinespace Studios, which says it's renaming four sound stages to pay tribute to the 'Shape of Water' writer-director. Del Toro says he's spent about half of his 30-year career making movies in Toronto, including 2009's effects-laden action film 'Pacific Rim' and 2017's fantasy 'The Shape of the Water,' which netted Oscars for best director and best picture. Next up is his Netflix film 'Frankenstein,' featuring Jacob Elordi as the titular monster, which Del Toro says will be finished at the Toronto video production studio Company 3. 'Frankenstein' is bound for the Toronto International Film Festival in September. 'I have loved Toronto for so many years and I am very happy that it loves me back,' del Toro said during the ceremony. 'It does not only exist as a great city for making film, but for celebrating film,' he said. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 24, 2025. Error!

Netflix's original movies aren't moving the needle — but it might not matter
Netflix's "The Electric State," starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, was widely watched but got panned by critics.

Impact Link This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now. Netflix has seemingly solved the economics of streaming, but it hasn't yet mastered movies. Viewership for Netflix's original films shrank in the last two years, even as inventory rose, according to new research from MoffettNathanson based on data from Netflix's self-published engagement report. Movies made for Netflix generated 9.2 billion viewing hours in the first half of 2025, 7% lower than the back half of 2024, and well down from 10.3 billion viewing hours in the first half of 2023. Those declines came despite an increase in the number of original film titles available on the platform. That suggests Netflix's original movies have "gotten less popular," Joe Bonner, who covers Netflix for Argus Research, told Business Insider. The soft viewership comes despite a slight increase in Netflix's overall viewership, which the company said rose 1% year-over-year in the first six months of 2025. Netflix's original movie output has also declined since 2022, according to research from Kasey Moore, who runs the What's on Netflix site that tracks Netflix releases. (The streamer's original film output is typically lower in the first half of the year, and company executives remarked last week that this year's slate is "unusually second-half weighted.") Netflix has made original films at a slower pace in recent years. Kasey Moore Moore said instead of making its own movies, Netflix is increasingly leaning on licensing new and existing movies from other studios. "They're using other people's movies to boost their viewership all around the world," Moore told BI. A Netflix spokesperson said the company doesn't comment on analyst reports but pointed to the company's latest shareholder letter. Netflix's movie misses may not matter much Although Netflix has made a slew of smash-hit shows, like "Squid Game" and "Adolescence," its original movies haven't often caught fire — or impressed critics. Related stories Business Insider tells the innovative stories you want to know Business Insider tells the innovative stories you want to know Audience reviews for Netflix's most-watched original movies have trended lower in the last two years, according to ratings from Rotten Tomatoes cited by MoffettNathanson's Robert Fishman, who authored the report. MoffettNathanson "While the critical reception to Netflix's original series has improved considerably over the past two years, the reception to Netflix's original films remains muted," Fishman wrote in the note. Exhibit A is "The Electric State," a straight-to-Netflix movie that Puck reported cost in the neighborhood of $300 million. Critics panned the flick, which garnered a 14% Rotten Tomatoes score, though audience reviews were more upbeat. Netflix said that the film starring Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown racked up 74 million views since its mid-March debut — seventh most among its movies in the first half of 2025. But at that mammoth budget, it's unclear whether that bet paid off for Netflix. If Netflix's original movies don't make waves, Bonner said the streaming giant may have to do some soul searching on whether original movies are "worth the declining return on investment." When it comes to film, Bonner said that Netflix has "a reputation for middling quality versus, say, HBO Max." However, Bonner remarked that even a softer slate of original movies "did not impact subscriber acquisition, revenue, or profits" for Netflix in its latest quarter. Instead, he said investors were excited about the streamer's successful password-sharing crackdown and ad-tier growth. While Netflix hasn't yet perfected its film strategy, Comscore movie analyst Paul Dergarabedian said it can keep taking swings thanks to its "massive footprint and incredible financial resources." That's why he's confident that eventually, the streaming titan's movies can be as big as its shows.

Netflix's new psychological thriller movie is an unnerving descent into madness — but there's a problem
Netflix is going big on thrillers lately, and you can't blame the streaming service either. Its subscriber base seems to gobble up intense and twisting flicks with glee, so there's a good chance 'A Normal Woman' will be the latest original to make a real splash. It wouldn't surprise me if this Indonesian psychological thriller resonates. There's quite a lot to like here, from the hooky premise of a woman slowly spiralling into madness as her seemingly perfect life crumbles, to the strong leading performance from Marissa Anita. But its strengths are mostly skin-deep. Underneath the intrigue and the unsettling moments (of which there are quite a few), director Lucky Kuswandi never manages to elevate the proceedings above its daytime TV tone, and it can be quite a patience-testing watch. Curious to know more? Here's everything you need to know about 'A Normal Woman' to help you make the call on whether to add it to your Netflix watchlist or give this one a skip. Milla (Marissa Anita) has a seemingly perfect life. She's the wife of a successful businessman (Dion Wiyoko), and living in luxury, her list of problems or stresses seems to be extremely small. However, looks can be deceiving, and the pressure to be perfect weighs heavily on her. And this anxiety begins to manifest itself in increasingly skin-crawling ways. First, as a rash on her neck before spreading to cover her entire face. And the itching becomes unbearable. Under the stern eye of her mother-in-law, Liliana (Widyawati), Milla's sanity begins to spiral, and she also struggles to recall her childhood. It's not long before dark secrets surface. 'A Normal Woman' dives deep into the pressures that come with trying to keep up a facade. Initially, Milla appears to have it all, but it quickly becomes apparent that her perfect life is anything but a dream. She faces relatable insecurities and lacks a sense of self and direction. It certainly doesn't help that the people around her do little but pile on more pressure. Her husband seems far from concerned about her struggles, more annoyed to be 'forced' to deal with her problems, and her mother-in-law is quite a nasty piece of work. Blaming Milla's woes on things like not attending church regularly, while doting endlessly on her son. Milla is also struggling to raise her young daughter, who has deep insecurities of her own, bemoaning her appearance, and desperate for plastic surgery to make herself feel pretty. You probably won't be surprised to know that her self-loathing is only exacerbated by scrolling social media, observing people who present themselves as impeccably put together. When Milla's rash breaks through, it starts small, just a small red patch on her neck, but as her psyche cracks further, and she can't help but scratch, it becomes a festering wound, leaking blood and spreading across her entire face. It's an effective way of showing Milla's troubles bubble to the surface, and for body horror fans, it's effective enough to make you itch your own skin. Throw in the mystery surrounding Milla's childhood, surreal nightmares and teasing glimpses of a dark past, and 'A Normal Woman' has plenty to hook viewers in its early stages. But despite its initial narrative strength, it has quite a soap-opera-like quality, often opting for a melodramatic approach. "A Normal Woman" has grand ideas, exploring its characters' deep-rooted insecurities and incorporating uncomfortable elements of gaslighting, but it often presents them in ways that feel cheap and look more than a little shoddy. Poor green screening on some outdoor scenes doesn't help this issue. However, I think what will really turn some viewers away is the plodding pacing. The movie clocks in at almost two hours, but barely has enough material for a 90-minute movie. It labours its central point, with multiple scenes dedicated to the same idea and repeating details endlessly. I don't mind a slow-burn thriller, but 'A Normal Woman' lays down its cards very early on and has precious few tricks up its sleeve to keep you invested until the very end. Answering this key question is surprisingly tricky. 'A Normal Woman' has quite a bit to say, and much of it is valuable. It's a relatable feeling to be fixated on your outward appearance, and to struggle with anxiety about how you're perceived in the pressure cooker of modern life. But, at the same time, 'A Normal Woman' has a lot of major faults that make it quite a slog to sit through. Too often it trades subtlety for melodrama, and it forgets that sometimes less or more. Plus, I feel the slow-burn pacing is going to be a dealbreaker for an awful lot of viewers. Genre fans may want to give this new psychological thriller a chance, but I expect many people will switch off before they can reach the ending. And considering it doesn't do enough to retain your interest for almost two hours, I can't exactly blame anybody for deciding to dip out early. 'A Normal Woman' seems destined to go down as a Netflix thriller movie with interesting ideas that never quite coalesce into a truly satisfying whole. It could have been a must-watch, but instead is ultimately merely passable. Another Netflix movie that will get lost in the platform's vast library. Which, in some ways, is more irritating than even the itchiest rash. Looking for more Netflix recommendations? Check out our guide to all the new movies on Netflix in July 2025.
