7 New Must-See Movies Coming To Netflix In May 2025

Garbo: Where Did You Go? (2024)

This is, admittedly, an indulgent pick. Because the more chances I have to spread the word about the wonder of Greta Garbo? The better. As stars of classic Hollywood cinema fade further and further into the recesses of moviegoers’ minds, we forget some of the most incredible stories to ever captivate the industry, as well as some of the most entrancing performances film has ever seen - and nobody commanded the screen like Garbo. That’s why Garbo: Where Did You Go? is such an important documentary, as it goes beyond the myth of the reclusive star and offers an intimate portrait of the actress through previously unseen archival footage, over 200 unpublished personal letters and stylized re-enactments of key moments in her life. Directed by Lorna Turner and narrated by actress Noomi Rapace, the documentary explores Garbo’s journey from her impoverished beginnings in Stockholm to her rise as a cinematic legend, starring in classics such as Ninotchka, Camille and Queen Christina. Tucker aimed to portray Garbo not just as an icon but as a complex individual, stating, "I want to make sure that people can see that these gods that we create are terribly human."
