BlackBerry begins streaming on Netflix in March

BlackBerry is gearing up to land on Netflix on March 15, bringing its sharp, fast-talking tech drama to new audiences, as per What’s on Netflix. The 2023 film dives into the explosive rise and eventual fall of the company that helped pioneer the early smartphone era.

The movie, helmed by Matt Johnson, features Jay Baruchel as visionary inventor Mike Lazaridis and Glenn Howerton as hard-charging executive Jim Balsillie. The story follows a hungry Canadian startup that changes the mobile world on its head, only to face mounting internal strain, breakneck growth, and cutthroat rivals that slowly push the company toward its dramatic unraveling.

Backed by Elevation Pictures and IFC Films, the film’s reported budget was about $5 million. Even with that scale, it managed to pull in more than $2 million worldwide and steadily gained traction, thanks to strong word of mouth and glowing reviews.

Critically, the film landed in elite territory. It boasts a sharp 97% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes. The audience reaction has been solid, too, with the movie sitting around a 7.3/10 on IMDb. Many reviewers singled out the film’s brisk pacing, sharp humor, and Glenn Howerton’s fiery performance as the clear standouts.

As its Netflix premiere gets closer, the movie is set to land in front of a much bigger crowd. For viewers interested in real-world business drama mixed with sharp humor, the movie’s mid-March Netflix arrival could turn this already well-reviewed title into an even bigger streaming conversation piece.
