By now, being two weeks into 2025, there’s plenty of Netflix content to explore! We could rewatch classics like Inception, the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films, and 13 Going on 30, but let’s also try some new Netflix Originals. For instance, we should check out one of this year’s debuts that boasted a 95% rating. However, it’s crucial to mention that the recently released Netflix movie is subtitled.

In 2020, when the South Korean movie “Parasite” won Best Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globes, its director, Bong Joon-ho, offered valuable advice in his acceptance speech. He suggested that audiences could discover numerous remarkable movies if they could surmount the minor obstacle of reading subtitles. Indeed, foreign language films have been performing exceptionally well on Netflix. To kick off 2025, Netflix introduced a film that earned an audience rating of 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. This Norwegian WWII movie is titled “Number 24.

Starting on Netflix on January 1st, the film titled “Number 24” recounts the genuine account of Gunnar Sønsteby, a young Norwegian determined to thwart the Nazi conquest in any manner feasible. Although it hasn’t garnered enough reviews from critics to determine its score, the audience response has been overwhelmingly favorable. Many viewers have expressed their appreciation for learning about resistance efforts in other countries and the sobering reminder of the sacrifices made during the pursuit of freedom. Unsurprisingly, “Number 24” holds the top spot among Norwegian films, but it’s particularly noteworthy that it has ranked #3 globally for non-English productions.

It’s quite remarkable that a Norwegian film has become the first to achieve such an impressive milestone in 2025 – reaching a rating of 95%. Recently, Norway has been garnering significant attention on Netflix. One of their most-watched original movies is the 2022 monster movie Troll, which racked up over 128 million hours of viewership within its initial two weeks. At that time, it held the record for the highest number of views among any non-English Netflix Original film.

Besides the 2023 Norwegian war drama titled “Narvik,” which vividly depicted the events and consequences of the Narvik Battles from April to June in 1940, there’s also the captivating documentary known as “The Remarkable Life of Ibelin.” This documentary showcased how role-playing video games can positively influence individuals with disabilities. In the near future, it seems that Norway may continue producing films that resonate deeply with streaming service subscribers, such as the upcoming release “Number 24.

In recent weeks, several Netflix films have been met with significant acclaim. For instance, the new mockumentary by British comedian Diane Morgan titled “Cunk on Life” boasts an 82% audience rating.

Lastly, the French thriller “Ad Vitam” recently debuted and currently ranks as the top non-English movie globally on the streaming platform.

This year, the first Netflix movie to earn a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes is “Number 24“. Although it may be subtitled, this doesn’t lessen its impact on audiences captivated by the Norwegian film’s portrayal of pivotal World War II events. Many viewers have been deeply touched by the movie’s powerful message about the sacrifices made in pursuit of freedom.
