Too much to scroll through and not enough time to watch it all. These are the best movies streaming on Peacock right now, pulled straight from my reviews and updated every month as titles come and go. Every pick is something I’ve seen and stand behind, with a link to the full review if you want the long version.

KAJILLIONAIRE (2020)

🍅90%Critics🍿47%Audience⭐6.4IMDb

Miranda July’s oddball opus Kajillionaire uses quirk to speak to the distancing of humanity from itself, creating a weirdly tender and wholly otherworldly dramedy that’s lit up by great performances. Miranda July’s offbeat heist comedy follows a family of small-time grifters, and Evan Rachel Wood’s deadpan performance slowly cracks into something tender.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

THE HOLDOVERS (2023)

🍅97%Critics🍿92%Audience⭐7.9IMDb

A testament to the simple power of an outstanding script, strong direction, and standout performances, The Holdover’s is a delightfully bittersweet return to form for Alexander Payne. Paul Giamatti is as good as ever in one of 2023’s best films.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

THE ALPINIST (2021)

🍅93%Critics🍿97%Audience⭐7.9IMDb

A stark reminder of the perilous extremes of climbing, The Alpinist is a fascinating character study of young renegade Marc-André Leclerc and thoughtful companion piece to the recent slew of free solo documentaries, which focuses more on the internal mysteries of the subject than the technical craft of the sport.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE (2016)

🍅97%Critics🍿91%Audience⭐7.8IMDb

Taika Waititi spreads his wings with Hunt for the Wilderpeople, a genuinely hilarious and emotionally engaging tale of a naughty foster child and his surrogate uncle who venture off into the bush. Sam Neill and Julian Dennison have uncommon comic chemistry in front of the camera while behind it, Waititi shows off some newfound directorial tricks.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review · Taika Waititi’s Movies, Ranked

BLUE RUIN (2014)

🍅96%Critics🍿79%Audience⭐7.1IMDb

A homeless drifter learns the man who killed his parents is getting out of prison and sets out for revenge, very badly. Jeremy Saulnier’s lean, brutal thriller is all tension and no glamour, and Macon Blair is unforgettable as the world’s least capable avenger.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

BLACK BEAR (2020)

🍅89%Critics🍿64%Audience⭐6.5IMDb

‘Black Bear‘ commits fully to breaking rules of cinema, which may leave some bewildered or frustrated, but between its smart screenplay, saucy technical savvy, and all-around great performances, the odd-duck drama-thriller is absolutely deserving of your attempt to puzzle through it.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

LAST NIGHT IN SOHO (2021)

🍅75%Critics🍿89%Audience⭐7.0IMDb

Edgar Wright’s flirtation with horror results in a psychedelic, feminist thriller told with great élan. Enthusiastically stylish, Last Night in Soho boasts a strong female cast and a chilling deconstruction of the hefty prices paid by the aspiring many who don’t “make it”.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

NOBODY (2021)

🍅83%Critics🍿94%Audience⭐7.4IMDb

Nobody delivers exactly what it promises to with Bob Odenkirk proving himself a beefy blood-addicted badass when the time calls for it. Gratuitously violent, with clean action choreography and expertly blocked set pieces, the amusing actioner from Ilya Naishuller reinvigorates our love for addictive on-screen violence.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

HONEYMOON (2014)

🍅77%Critics🍿44%Audience⭐5.7IMDb

Leigh Janiak’s debut strands newlyweds Bea and Paul at a remote lake cabin, where she starts slipping away. Like a gas leak from the brainstem, Bea isn’t replaced outright so much as reborn one blink at a time, reinvented with each breath drawn. For the genre, it’s an uncharacteristically committed pair of performances, and with Janiak jamming her cameras right into their personal space, we feel like an equal victim of some inexplicable emotional violation.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME (2025)

🍅77%Critics🍿70%Audience⭐6.6IMDb

Wes Anderson is back to his whimsical quirks with The Phoenician Scheme, a welcome-enough addition to his illustrious second act as a manicured, highbrow comedy filmmaker. The cast is A-list, the shots are symmetrical, the heart is far from the sleeve. It’s everything New Wes represents to a T.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

BEGIN AGAIN (2014)

🍅83%Critics🍿81%Audience⭐7.4IMDb

A down-and-out record exec (Mark Ruffalo) hears a heartbroken songwriter (Keira Knightley) at an open mic and decides to record her album on the streets of New York. John Carney’s warm, music-first comedy is a feel-good charmer with songs that stick.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

LAND (2021)

⭐6.7IMDb

Taking full advantage of its awe-striking setting, Land explores a woman’s path to recovery after unspeakable tragedy and is held up by delicate direction and a pair of soulful performances from Robin Wright and Demián Bichir.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN (2020)

🍅90%Critics🍿87%Audience⭐7.5IMDb

A defiant, bold, and color-splashed debut, Promising Young Adult sees writer-director Emerald Fennell loudly announce herself as someone to watch while veteran badass Carey Mulligan gives one of the best performances of her career as an impacted survivor out for revenge served cold AF.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

LIMBO (2021)

🍅93%Critics🍿55%Audience⭐7.1IMDb

Sardonic and soulful, Limbo is a slow-moving and darkly funny drama about the ennui of immigration and the guilt of leaving behind a life unfulfilled that crescendoes to a thunderous, lyrical peak.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

OBSESSION (2026)

🍅93%Critics🍿94%Audience⭐7.8IMDb

Obsession feels like a dark-magic witch’s brew of Together, Fede Álvarez’s 2013 Evil Dead, and Big: a horrifying black comedy that takes big swings and somehow pulls them off, masterfully achieving that rare blend of being actually scary and actually funny. Inde Navarrette is fantastic as a possessed lover desperate to win the affections of her cursed beau, while Curry Barker proves himself a genre craftsman with a wicked sense of humor, a mean little visual streak, and an unnerving command of tone.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

THE CARD COUNTER (2021)

🍅88%Critics🍿42%Audience⭐6.2IMDb

Oscar Isaac is a gambler of few words in this subdued, shady exploration of sin. Writer-director Paul Schrader continues to make challenging – borderline nihilistic – films that challenge our notion of tradition narrative arcs, his work squirreling its way into our conscience like few can.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

THE COURIER (2020)

🍅85%Critics🍿95%Audience⭐4.8IMDb

A stirring dramatic thriller with a career-best onscreen turn from Benedict Cumberbatch, ‘The Courier‘ explores the events of the Cold War through ground-level heroism, focusing on the human element and how the actions of a few dictate the course of history. Dominic Cooke expertly crescendos events into big tear-inducing moments…so be prepared for your emotions to get nuked. *This is a reprint from our Sundance 2020 coverage.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

TRAGEDY GIRLS (2017)

🍅85%Critics🍿61%Audience⭐6.0IMDb

Alexandra Shipp and Brianna Hildebrand are fantastic as fame-seeking murderesses in this sharp satire on social media culture. With shades of Mean Girls, Scream, Heathers and Carrie, ’Tragedy Girls’ is the meta-horror-comedy of 2017 that is never quite as over-the-top or inventive with its violence as I wanted.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

THE ENDLESS (2017)

🍅91%Critics🍿67%Audience⭐6.5IMDb

Moorhead and Benson’s The Endless is a riveting trip down the rabbit hole, fastened with a smarter-than-average and genuinely thrilling script and impossible to predict plotting. Suffers in the acting and special effects department but remains a strong recommendation for sci-fi fans looking for some original flavor.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review

SYNCHRONIC (2020)

🍅79%Critics🍿76%Audience⭐6.2IMDb

Sci-fi indie filmmakers Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead have done it again with the trippy, drug-fueled time travel experiment Synchronic, which benefits from a strong leading man and an arresting balance of body horror and temporal experimentation.▶︎ Watch on Peacock · Read the full review
