‘Goyo’ ranks #4 on Netflix worldwide

Since Argentina won its first Oscar for “The Official Story” in 1986, the world has eagerly awaited its cinematic offerings. Therefore, it’s no surprise that “Goyo” ranks as the fourth most-watched movie globally on Netflix.

The film has notably surpassed “Trigger Warning,” Jessica Alba‘s highly streamed return. Currently, it’s in a close competition with Zac Efron‘s “A Family Affair” to climb further in the charts.
