As the film world continues to reckon with the ongoing impact of the coronavirus epidemic, festivals are scrambling to make contingency plans and movie theaters are being regarded as hotbeds of viral transmission.

Netflix isn’t redrawing its strategy quite yet, but the streamer’s March lineup still has plenty to offer for those who’d rather watch movies from the comfort of their own homes.
