Hulu isn't known as a destination for movies the way some other streaming services are. But just because it isn't known as one doesn't mean it isn't one. The streamer has a ton of worthwhile new releases, like the oldster indie comedy Thelma, the Sydney Sweeney-led horror flick Immaculate, and the sci-fi blockbuster Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, as well as a robust library of older movies that is constantly in flux.
This list isn't just about the absolute best movies of all time; it's about the best movies to watch on Hulu right now. That means this list will look a little different from the other ones out there, as we're focusing on Hulu originals, new arrivals to Hulu, and our own personal favorites.
Last updated Nov. 15; newer additions are at the top.
Thelma (2024)
Director:Josh Margolin
Cast:June Squibb, Fred Hechinger, Richard Roundtree, Parker Posey, Clark Gregg, Malcolm McDowell
Genre:Comedy, Drama
Rating:R
Metacritic score:77
The great June Squibb proves it's never too late for some action. The 94-year-old veteran of stage and screen gets the first starring role of her career in this terrifically fun indie dramedy. She plays the title character, a feisty, independent grandmother who gets scammed out of $10,000. But rather than take the hit, she goes on a mission to get her money back. It's not exactly John Wick, but it's about as close to John Wick as a 94-year-old can get. It's a big-hearted movie that will make you cry a little and laugh a lot. -Liam Mathews[Trailer]
Late Night with the Devil(2023)
Director: Cameron and Colin Cairnes
Cast: David Dastmalchian, Laura Gordan, Ian Bliss, Fayssel Bazzi, Ingrid Torelli
Genre: Horror
Rating: R
Metacritic score: 72
Character actorDavid Dastmalchian(Oppenheimer) is terrific in a rare starring role in this supernatural spooker as Jack Delroy, a 1970s late night talk show host whose desperation for ratings leads to him booking a demonic entity as a guest on his show, in the form of a possessed child, and an author who wrote a book about her. Dastmalchian nails the talk show host's smarmy patter, as well as his terror when he realizes that he's at the mercy of even more powerful and sinister force than the Nielsen corporation. The title sort of implies that the Devil is hosting the show. Technically he isn't, but in a way he is.-Liam Mathews[Trailer]
Immaculate(2024)
Director: Michael Mohan
Cast: Sydney Sweeney, Alvaro Morte, Benedetta Porcaroli, Giorgio Colangeli, Dora Romano
Genre: Horror
Rating: R
Metacritic score: 57
Sydney Sweeney stars in this slow burn story of a Catholic nun who seemingly spontaneously becomes pregnant. Is this baby a blessing from the Lord, or could there be some other nefarious force at work here? This is a horror film, so, uh, spoiler: it's the nefarious one. One of a pair of mysterious pregnant nun movies to hit theaters in 2024, Immaculate does cover some of the same ground as The First Omen does. But unlike that very solid film, Immaculate's story doesn't have to fit the lore of some existing 50-year-old movie, which makes it a better watch. -Phil Owen[Trailer]
The Sixth Sense(1999)
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Cast: Bruce Willis, Hailey Joel Osment, Toni Collette, Olivia Williams
Genre: Thriller
Rating: PG-13
Metacritic score: 64
M. Night Shyamalan is a pretty divisive filmmaker these days, but that wasn't always the case — his breakout movie, The Sixth Sense, pulled six Oscar nominations including Best Picture and Best Director. And what a film it was, with a twist for the ages and an intense-but-low-key vibe that he's never quite been able to pull off in the same way since. But that's OK — The Sixth Sense is a classic all the same. -Phil Owen [Trailer]
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes(2024)
Director:Wes Ball
Stars:Freya Allan, William H. Macy, Owen Teague, Kevin Durand, and Dichen Lachman
Genre:Action
Rating:PG-13
Metacritic score: 66
One of 2024's biggest movies, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is the fourth film in the Planet of the Apes reboot series, and because the film industry works in threes, it's technically the first movie in a planned second trilogy. Set 300 years after 2017's War for the Planet of the Apes, Kingdom stars The Witcher's Freya Allan and The Stand's Owen Teague as a human and a young chimpanzee, respectively, who go on a journey to determine the future of their species. Those expecting a special effects feast will be sated, but they may also be surprised at the insightful story. -Tim Surette[Trailer]
Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge(2024)
Director: Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and Trish Dalton
Genre: Documentary
Rating: n/a
Metacritic score: 63
To many, the name Diane von Furstenberg is synonymous with the wrap dress. It's expected, since the Belgian entrepreneur built her fashion empire around that clothing item. But in Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and Trish Dalton's documentary Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge, Furstenburg is introduced as far more than a designer. The film is an intimate portrayal of her life, from being the daughter of a Holocaust survivor to the wife of Prince Egon von Furstenberg to a global voice empowering women. Woman in Charge paints an undeniable portrait of a trailblazer who never shied away from pushing boundaries. And while interviews with figures like Oprah Winfrey and Marc Jacobs certainly establish Furstenberg as an industry icon, it's the interviews with her family that are the film's most poignant. -Kat Moon [Trailer]
Perfect Days(2023)
Director: Wim Wenders
Stars:Kōji Yakusho and Arisa Nakano
Genre: Drama
Rating:PG
Metacritic score: 80
Japan's entry for the Best International Feature Film award at the 2024 Oscars (it lost toThe Zone of Interest) is directed by the very non-Japanese Wim Wenders, the legendary German director behindBuena Vista Social Club;Paris, Texas; and Wings of Desire. Perfect Days is a quaint and poignant film about a man (Kōji Yakusho) who cleans public toilets in Tokyo for a living and enjoys the little things in life. Don't expect a typical movie experience from this one; it's a meditative look at living in the now, with a quietly standout performance from Yakusho and minimalist direction from Wenders. -Tim Surette[Trailer]
The First Omen(2024)
Director: Arkasha Stevenson
Stars: Nell Tiger Free, Sonia Braga, Ralph Inneson, Maria Caballero
Genre: Horror
Rating: R
Metacritic score: 83
Way back in the original The Omen, a politician's stillborn child was secretly replaced with an Antichrist baby — The First Omen is the story of where that baby came from. Despite the franchise baggage, The First Omen works well as a creepy little standalone story, and Tiger Free is outstanding as the protagonist, a nun-in-training who was just brought to the Vatican at the request of the priest who ran the orphanage she was raised at. It's a slow burn, and the ending that ties the franchise together is kind of awkward, but The First Omen has a lot to offer fans of religious horror — it's a lot more compelling than 2023's Exorcist sequel; that's for sure. -Phil Owen [Trailer]
Ferrari(2023)
Year: 2023
Director: Michael Mann
Stars: Adam Driver, Penelope Cruz, Shailene Woodley
Genre: Drama
Rating: R
Metacritic score: 73
Legendary director Michael Mann paints a poignant portrait of Enzo Ferrari with this film, never shying away from his flaws and telling an unexpectedly resonant personal story. And despite Adam Driver being far too young for the role — Enzo Ferrari was nearly 60 during the events of the film, two decades older than Driver — the multi-time Emmy and Oscar nominee pulls it off nearly flawlessly. Despite Ferrari being all about cars, it's the quieter portions of the film that give it its substance. -Phil Owen [Trailer]
The Contestant(2023)
Year:2023
Director:Clair Titley
Stars:Tomoaki Hamatsu, narrated by Fred Armisen
Genre:Documentary
Rating:n/a
Metacritic score:71
In 1998, a Japanese reality show convinced a man named Tomoaki Hamatsu to participate in a strange contest: He had to live in complete isolation, without any clothes, and live off only what he could win from magazine sweepstakes cards. And then the whole thing was livestreamed and became a national sensation — the man lived like this for more than a year without having a clue about his popularity. That really happened, and this compelling documentary from director Clair Titley retells the story both from Hamatsu's perspective and that of the TV producer who exploited him. But it's in the final act, which focuses on Hamtsu's later life and his attempts to climb Mount Everest, where The Contestant hits the hardest. All that and it lasts under 90 minutes. -Phil Owen [Trailer]
The Stones and Brian Jones(2023)
Year:2023
Director:Nick Broomfield
Stars:Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and others
Genre:Documentary, Music
Rating:n/a
Metacritic score:75
Kurt & Courtney director Nick Broomfield looks back at the dawn of rock 'n' roll with this documentary about Brian Jones, the founder of the Rolling Stones, and the band that would eventually move on without him. Jones started the Rolling Stones in 1962 before seeing his influence on the band fade away as Mick Jagger and Keith Richards took creative control, leading to his ouster in 1969. He died less than a month later, but his footprint on the British rock scene remains as strong as ever. -Tim Surette[Trailer]
Poor Things(2023)
Year:2023
Director:Yorgos Lanthimos
Stars:Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef, and Vicki Pepperdine
Genre:Drama, Comedy, Romance, Fantasy
Rating:R
Metacritic score:88
Yorgos Lanthimos' endearingly odd fantasy/romance/drama/comedy film and Best Picture nominee hit subscription streaming just in time for your Oscars cram. Though it didn't win Best Picture,Emma Stonewon Best Actress for playing a previously deceased woman who is brought back to life and thirsts for worldliness and self-discovery. Best Supporting Actor nomineeMark Ruffaloplays the man she runs off with for a global adventure. It's a good one. -Tim Surette[Trailer]
Suncoast (2024)
Year: 2024
Director: Laura Chinn
Stars: Laura Linney, Nico Parker, Woody Harrelson
Genre: Drama
Rating: R
Metacritic score: 61
This semi-autobiographical film from writer/director Laura Chinn is a coming-of-age tale with a compelling set of wrinkles — the girl at the center of the story has a brother who is terminally ill, and the movie takes place during the final days of Terri Schiavo's life in 2005. The broad strokes of this one can get a bit trope-y, but it's the emotional honesty from Chinn, and young star Nico Parker, that will hit viewers square in the heart. Suncoast — which also stars Woody Harrelson and Laura Linney — is quite a first movie from Chinn. -Phil Owen [Trailer]
Beyond Utopia(2023)
Year:2023
Director:Madeleine Gavin
Genre:Documentary
Rating:PG-13
Metacritic score:84
This acclaimed documentary from director Madeleine Gavin follows families trying to escape North Korea after living a life of hardship and lies brought upon them by the North Korean government. Using rare footage of life inside North Korea, Beyond Utopia captures the harrowing and life-threatening journey toward freedom, aided by South Korean pastor Seungeun Kim, who has helped over a thousand North Koreans defect. While the human stories are captivating, it's worth noting that some critics found the movie failed to detail America's involvement in making North Korea what it is today. -Tim Surette[Trailer]
The Creator (2023)
Year: 2023
Director: Gareth Edwards
Stars: John David Washington, Gemma Chan, Allison Janney, Madeleine Yuna Voyles
Genre: Sci-Fi, Action, Drama
Rating: PG-13
Metacritic score: 63
Rogue One director Gareth Edwards tackles a future in which artificial intelligence isn't just writing college students' term papers; it's in all-out war against the human race after a bot launches a nuclear attack on Los Angeles. Years later, a special agent (John David Washington) goes on a mission to hunt down the mysterious "creator," the mastermind behind a new weapon that will help AI win the war. And then things get complicated! It's a solid action-based sci-fi film with better visuals than story, so have the popcorn handy. -Tim Surette [Trailer]
No One Will Save You (2023)
Year:2023
Director:Brian Duffield
Stars:Kaitlyn Dever
Genre:Horror, Sci-Fi, Thriller
Rating:PG-13
Metacritic score:64
No One Will Save You, a nearly wordless thriller fromBrian Duffield(Love and Monsters,The Babysitter), starsKaitlyn Dever as a creative but lonely young woman named Brynn, whose alienation turns literal when extraterrestrials invade her childhood home one night. In order to confront her intruders, Brynn will have to face her past. Beam this one up; it's a lot of fun. -Kelly Connolly [Trailer]
How to Blow Up a Pipeline (2023)
Year:2023
Director:Daniel Goldhaber
Stars:Lukas Gage, Marcus Scribner, Kristine Froseth
Genre:Drama, Thriller
Rating:R
Metacritic score:76
Hulu is still one of the strongest streamers for great under-the-radar movies, and this 2023 film from Neon is a good one.How to Blow Up a Pipelinefollows a group of young people who band together to take out a controversial oil pipeline, tiptoeing the line between environmental activism and domestic terrorism. It was a hit among critics, who lauded it as a taut thriller with eco-friendly themes, and it features a cast that includesThe White Lotus'Lukas Gage,black-ish'sMarcus Scribner, andThe Society'sKristine Froseth. -Tim Surette[Trailer]
Infinity Pool (2023)
Year:2023
Director:Brandon Cronenberg
Stars:Alexander Skarsgård, Cleopatra Coleman, Mia Goth
Genre:Sci-Fi, Mystery, Thriller, Horror
Rating:R
Metacritic score:72
Infinity Pool director Brandon Cronenberg is the son of the king of body horror, David Cronenberg. If the name "Cronenberg" didn't tip you off, you should know that this is a bizarre and often disturbing film. It follows a vacationing married couple, played by Alexander Skarsgård and Cleopatra Coleman, who, after an accident, begin to discover the dark, twisted secrets hidden beyond the walls of their resort. It's difficult to say much without spoiling everything, but this is certainly a movie that will stick with you long after it ends. -Allison Picurro[Trailer]
Rye Lane (2023)
Year:2023
Director:Raine Allen Miller
Stars:Vivian Oparah, David Jonsson
Genre:Comedy, Romance
Rating:R
Metacritic score:83
This cute rom-com film set in the London neighborhoods of Peckham and Brixton has a tried-and-true setup — two people reeling from bad breakups have a chance encounter with each other, and you know the rest — but it's presented in a dazzling, magnetic way thanks to director Raine Allen Miller. Yas (Vivian Oparah) and Dom (Industry'sDavid Jonsson) are twentysomethings who use their new friendship to deal with their exes over the course of a day, and who knows, maybe they will fall for each other. Who knows!?!? -Tim Surette[Trailer]
Triangle of Sadness (2022)
Year: 2022
Director: Ruben Östlund
Stars: Harry Dickinson, Charlbi Dean, Woody Harrelson, Dolly de Leon
Genre: Comedy, Drama
Rating: R
Metacritic score: 63
This film from director Ruben Östlund won the Palme d'Or in 2022 and Best Picture at the European Film Awards, and was nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. But it also has a 63 score on Metacritic. It's one of those movies, a satirical look at and takedown of the rich and famous on a cruise ship, and for some the satire and black humor don't hit. Others love it, though, and as one of 2023's most polarizing Best Picture nominees, it's a mandatory watch. -Tim Surette [Trailer]
Bruiser (2023)
Year:2023
Director:Miles Warren
Stars:Jalyn Hall, Shamier Anderson, Trevante Rhodes
Genre:Drama
Rating:TV-MA
Metacritic score:81
First-time feature director Miles Warren arrives with the confidence of a veteran filmmaker with this family drama about a 14-year-old (Jalyn Hall) caught between his father (Shamier Anderson) and a mysterious drifter (Trevante Rhodes). It's a story about fatherhood and parenting, coming of age, and defending yourself. It's also one of the best things Onyx Collective, a subdivision of Disney focusing on Black stories, has produced.-Tim Surette [Trailer]
Fire of Love(2022)
Year:2022
Director:Sara Dosa
Stars:Maurice Krafft, Katia Krafft
Genre:Documentary
Rating:NR
Metacritic score:83
This stunning film was nominated for Best Documentary at the 2023 Academy Awards, and for good reason. Fire of Love introduces audiences to Maurice and Katia Krafft, a pair of charismatic French volcanologists who bucked the stuffy stereotypes of scientists from the 1970s to early 1990s. Director Sara Dosa also innovates with a stylish collage of the Kraffts' massive library of film footage, multimedia animations, groovy music, and entrancing editing. But what makes Fire of Love better than the sum of its parts is the fascinating love triangle between Maurice and Katia, who were married, and the explosive volcanoes that drew them in. It's a nature documentary, a profile of a couple who found love against all odds, and an art film in one splendid package.-Tim Surette [Trailer]
Riotsville, U.S.A. (2022)
Year: 2022
Director:Sarah Pettengill
Stars:Charlene Modeste
Genre: Documentary
Rating:NR
Metacritic score:83
History repeats itself — or maybe it just never ends — inRiotsville, U.S.A. Thiswell-reviewed2022 documentary looks back on the social justice movement of the late 1960s and traces how America's police forces militarized in response. Its focus is on fake towns built by the Army, which were used to train police and the military to violently subdue protests. Director Sarah Pettengill uses archival footage and pointed narration to tell a story that has obvious parallels in the present. -Kelly Connolly[Trailer]
Stars at Noon (2022)
Year: 2022
Director:Claire Denis
Stars:Margaret Qualley, Joe Alwyn, Benny Safdie, John C. Reilly
Genre: Drama, Thriller, Romance
Rating:NR
Metacritic score:67
Claire Denis' Stars at Noon was a big hit at Cannes, and now it's on Hulu for you to form your own opinion about. A modern adaptation of Denis Johnson's 1984 novel, it stars Margaret Qualley as an American journalist stranded in Nicaragua and Joe Alwyn as the British guy she meets and immediately falls for, only to discover he's in deep with — wait for it — the CIA. It's a woozy, sweaty, and sexy romantic thriller elevated by a dynamic performance from Qualley. -Allison Picurro[Trailer]
Crimes of the Future (2022)
Year: 2022
Director:David Cronenberg
Stars:Kristen Stewart, Léa Seydoux, Viggo Mortensen, Scott Speedman
Genre: Sci-Fi, Drama, Horror
Rating:NR
Metacritic score:67
David Cronenberg's name is synonymous with stomach-churning body horror, and his latest film is a return to the genre he helped pioneer. Set in an alternate future, Viggo Mortensen and Léa Seydoux star as a performance artist couple who make their money staging live surgeries in which they remove extra organs from the body for rapt audiences. They catch the attention of a government organization that keeps track of new organs, as well as a peculiar cult of people who are experimenting with their own form of biological performance art. It's a big old Cronenbergian blend of ideas that's guaranteed to make your squirm. -Allison Picurro[Trailer]
On the Count of Three(2021)
Year: 2021
Director:Jerrod Carmichael
Stars:Jerrod Carmichael, Christopher Abbott, Tiffany Haddish, Henry Winkler, JB Smoove
Genre: Drama, Comedy
Rating:NR
Metacritic score:85
Jerrod Carmichael directs this dark buddy dramedy about two best friends – one played by Carmichael, the other by Christopher Abbott – who hatch a joint suicide pact. Before they kill themselves, though, they spend their last day alive taking care of unfinished business and engaging in shameless debauchery. It's difficult to recommend a movie with such upsetting subject material, but Carmichael's singular voice makes this one worth it. -Allison Picurro[Trailer]
Prey (2022)
Year: 2022
Director:Dan Trachtenberg
Stars:Amber Midthunder, Dakota Beavers, Dane DiLiegro
Genre: Action, Sci-Fi, Drama, Thriller, Horror
Rating:R
Metacritic score:69
Hulu went ahead and revived the Predator franchise, and this time it's a prequel.Preyis set in the Comanche Nation in the 1700s, and finds the Predator coming to Earth, where he faces off against a young warrior (Amber Midthunder) trying to protect her tribe. It has all the brawling and killing you want from a Predator movie, and as Jordan Hoffman said in his review for TV Guide, its setting feels refreshing. -Allison Picurro[Trailer|Review]
The Worst Person in the World (2022)
Year: 2021
Director: Joachim Trier
Stars:Renate Reinsve, Anders Danielsen Lie, Herbert Nordrum
Genre: Drama, Comedy, Romance
Rating:NR
Metacritic score:90
One of the most well-liked and well-reviewed films of last year (it was nominated for Best International Feature and Best Original Screenplay at the Oscars), The Worst Person in the World is not actually all that romantic or all that much of a comedy, despite often being classified as a rom-com. It's more of a character study about one aimless woman (Renate Reinsve) in her twenties, following her over the course of several years as she drifts in and out of relationships and jobs — think Frances Ha, but Norwegian. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]
Fire Island (2022)
Year: 2022
Director: Andrew Ahn
Stars:Joel Kim Booster, Bowen Yang, Conrad Ricamora, Margaret Cho, Matt Rogers
Genre: Comedy, Romance
Rating:R
Metacritic score:72
Joel Kim Booster writes and stars in this hilarious, heartbreaking, and horny adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, which reimagines one of Jane Austen's most famous novels as a gay romantic comedy set on New York's Fire Island. Booster stars as Noah, the Elizabeth Bennett role, and Bowen Yang plays his best friend Howie, the Jane Bennett; the film hits all the Austenian beats regarding class and social status, but Booster's observations about being gay and Asian American gives a well-trodden story its updated perspective. It's likely the only movie you'll see that has jokes about Quibi, My Cousin Vinny, and Yolanda Hadid. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]
Titane(2021)
Director:Julia Ducournau
Stars:Agathe Rousselle, Vincent Lindon, a dope Cadillac
Genre:Body horror, Drama
Rating:R
Metacritic score: 75
Given its everything, I have no idea how Titane became the winner of the 2021 Palme d'Or, the top prize at the Cannes International Film Festival. But I'm glad it did because Titane is absolutely amazing in the most primal sense of the word. The French-Belgian film defies genre but spends lots of time in almost all of them — horror, science-fiction, drama, comedy — as it follows a model with a titanium plate in her head that she got after a car crash when she was young at car shows. From there, Titane is a riveting and savage ride as shocking as it is unpredictable (you'll never think of airport bathroom sinks the same way again). And just when you think it's gone entirely off the rails, it becomes an emotional and thought-provoking film about character relationships. Love it or hate it, no reaction would surprise me from this truly original and daring film. -Tim Surette [Trailer]
Pig(2021)
Director:Michael Sarnoski
Stars:Nicolas Cage, Alex Wolff
Genre:Drama
Rating:R
Metacritic score:82
"We don't get a lot of things to really care about." If that idea resonates with you, you'll want to see the indie dramaPig. Nicolas Cage stars as a onetime prominent chef from Portland who left society to go live in the woods with his beloved truffle-hunting pig. When his pig is stolen, he has to return to the city to look for one of the few things he really cares about. It's a similar premise toJohn Wick,with assassin action replaced by tragicomic character study. It's a top-tier Nicolas Cage performance, and probably his most subtle in at least 20 years.-Liam Mathews [Trailer]
Summer of Soul(2021)
Director:Ahmir-Khalib Thompson
Stars:B.B. King, Jesse Jackson, Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder
Genre:Documentary, Music
Rating:NR
Metacritic score:96
The same year Woodstock was held and grabbed all the headlines as the only thing that happened in music in 1969, the Harlem Cultural Festival took place, with performances by Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Sly and the Family Stone, and more. Footage of the festival never saw the light of day until the release of this film, which marks the directorial debut of musician Questlove. If you need more reason to watch it, Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) has been universally acclaimed and won the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award in the documentary category at Sundance. -Tim Surette [Trailer]
Minding the Gap(2018)
Director:Bing Liu
Stars:Kiere Johnson, Zack Mulligan
Genre:Documentary
Rating:NR
Metacritic score:90
If you like your documentaries with a side of a punch in the gut, Minding the Gap will suffice! The Oscar-nominated film, from first-time director Bing Liu, follows Liu as he reconnects with two of his old skateboarding buddies while the twentysomething young men all deal with the struggles of growing up after childhoods of abuse and neglect. Archival footage is both exuberant and emotional as the trio escapes troubles through skateboarding and details the problems at home, while new footage shows how their lives have changed (or not changed) through unplanned fatherhood, new family issues, and more all-too-common obstacles. -Tim Surette [Trailer]
Portrait of a Lady on Fire(2019)
Director:Céline Sciamma
Stars:Noémie Merlant, Adèle Haenel
Genre:Drama, History, Romance
Rating:R
Metacritic score:95
The most romantic movie of 2019, Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a simmering love story designed to devastate and delight. Céline Sciamma directs the film, which is set in 18th century France and revolves around the affair that develops between an artist and her subject, a young aristocratic woman who is about to be married off. The chemistry between the leads, Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel, is a pleasure to watch in action, made all the more upsetting because of the pervasive knowledge that there's a hard expiration date on their relationship. -Allison Picurro[Trailer]
Palm Springs(2020)
Director:Max Barbakow
Stars:Andy Samberg, Cristin Milioti, J.K. Simmons, Camila Mendes, June Squibb, Peter Gallagher, Tyler Hoechlin
Genre:Mystery, Fantasy, Comedy, Romance
Rating:R
Metacritic score:83
The less you know about Palm Springs going into it, the better, but it's probably no secret at this point that this delightful comedy features Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti as a pair of wedding goers who find themselves trapped in a time loop. Their performances are at once goofy and grounded, and there are plenty of surprises packed into every precious minute of this wild, incredibly fun rom-com with touches of sci-fi. -Tim Surette[Trailer]
Three Identical Strangers(2018)
Director:Tim Wardle
Stars:Adrian Lichter, Andrew Lovesey, David Kellman
Genre:Documentary
Rating:PG-13
Metacritic score:81
Every documentary that has used some variation of the selling point "a story so crazy it has to be true" needs to step aside. The truth in Three Identical Strangers is so bizarre and goes in so many directions you'd never expect that you'll want to put a pillow on the floor for your jaw. The film follows the story of identical triplets — three gregarious New York boys — separated at birth who meet in their teenage years and become media sensations, but gets really insane when it dives into the circumstances of why they were separated. If I told you any more, I'd ruin it for you. -Tim Surette[Trailer]
