Amazon thought it would be a good idea to not include subtitles in a film made entirely with sign language.

My Dad is incredibly dyslexic, and it's a legit issue for him.
Growing up, if a movie or TV show had subs we had to take turns reading it out loud for him. I still have to catch myself trying to do automatically it when we're watching something with other people.
I grew up in a country where movies are rarely dubbed. I was reading the subtitles out loud for my siblings who couldn't read yet for entire movies.
I read video game dialogue out loud for kids like a storybook. Also anime subs that have no official dub, it can get pretty silly
I do this for my wife, because she spends most of a film on her phone.
She's listening to the audio and can mostly follow what's going on by glancing at the screen and reading subtitles every now and then, but if there's a foreign language with subtitles, or a text description (Paris, 11 AM or 10 years later, etc.), she'll miss it and then be completely lost.
I can't tell you how many times I've had to pause a movie and give a quick recap to get her caught up with the plot.
I believe Netflix order movies to be understandable to people who are not paying attention. Maybe they have something that is good enough for you, it would save you from having to recap stuff.
