So you don’t miss a beat, MHD presents you with a list of the best films of 2023 that have finally arrived on streaming in Portugal.
Nowadays, it is very difficult to keep track of all the great films that are available to be seen by the general public. With a wider and also diluted offer, some of the best-rated works of the year end up escaping our radar and we don’t even realize when certain films are finally available to us, whether on streaming or in the cinema.
To help you organize and prioritize your cinema sessions, MHD presents a list made up of six films that marked the year 2023 and that can now finally be seen on streaming. Many of these films won Oscars, others were huge hits with the public and there is still the case of a darling of independent cinema that did not appear in our theaters and now has its discreet, but long-awaited debut, on streaming platforms.
