Neat Flicks on Netflix

Let’s watch some movies together! Neat flicks on Netflix is a new weekly category meant to give you a few ideas on what to watch. All you need is a Netflix account and your set. It’s important to note that the first month is FREE. It’s a cool little way to watch movies whenever you want, and it’s under $10 bucks a month. You can beat that.

Today’s suggestion comes from the awesome subreddit at /r/bestofnetflix and is called The Queen of Versailles .

A documentary directed by Lauren Greenfield, The Queen of Versailles is a film that deals with a wealthy family at the peak of their financial success. Then, during the 2008 stock market crash, they lose everything and have to resort to a more “standard” living. The story is driven by its main character, Jackie Siegel. Jackie is the wife of David Siegel, the wealthy timeshare owner who is in the process of losing his empire. Primarily looked at as a trophy wife, we take a journey with Jackie during the family’s downward spiral with shocking results.

Without giving too much away, lets just say that the Siegels are from a different world and perspective. Their idea of wealth and poverty differ greatly from that of a typical American individual.

I found it to be a very unique documentary that really involves the audience. I couldn’t take my eyes away from the screen and would highly recommend a viewing.

Let me know what you think! Did you enjoy it? Did you find the gap between the Siegel’s and an average individual’s mentality insane? Leave a comment below!
