The Perfect Neighbor is Geeta Gandbhir’s documentary about a Florida neighborhood dispute that escalates into a fatal shooting. Netflix says the film is told almost entirely through police bodycam footage and examines fear, prejudice and Stand Your Ground laws. The 100% Rotten Tomatoes figure in the earlier headline is no longer current: the site’s title page, retrieved in 2026, displays a 98% Tomatometer from 101 critic reviews.
What is The Perfect Neighbor about?
Netflix describes the film as a documentary in which police bodycam footage reveals how a long-running neighborhood dispute turned fatal. Its official synopsis frames the story around fear, prejudice and Stand Your Ground laws; that is Netflix’s description of the film’s subject, not an independent legal finding. The trailer’s account centers on events involving Ajike “AJ” Owens.

The bodycam-centered approach places recorded police interactions at the heart of the documentary’s telling. Netflix says the film is told almost entirely through this footage, offering a view of how the conflict escalated rather than presenting it simply as a general discussion of neighbor disagreements.
Is The Perfect Neighbor still 100% on Rotten Tomatoes?
No. Rotten Tomatoes’ title page retrieved in 2026 displays a 98% Tomatometer based on 101 critic reviews, alongside an 80% audience score from more than 1,000 ratings. These are separate measures: the Tomatometer reflects critic reviews, while the audience score reflects user ratings. Both scores and their counts can change.
#1 Best Overall
- Factory sealed DVD
The 100% figure appeared in Tom’s Guide’s 2025 trailer coverage, but the precise date and number of reviews behind that earlier snapshot were not established. It should be treated as historical, not as the current score.
When did The Perfect Neighbor come out?
Netflix announced a select theatrical release beginning October 10, 2025, followed by streaming availability on October 17, 2025. Netflix’s September 24, 2025 trailer announcement gave those dates and described the documentary’s bodycam-footage approach.
