Hulu’s best movies rarely make its front page. These are the underrated ones: films I graded B or higher that most people still haven’t seen (each has fewer than 60,000 ratings on IMDb), all streaming on Hulu right now.
NO OTHER CHOICE (2025)
No Other Choice is an expertly constructed social satire from Park Chan-wook that harkens to its South Korean compatriot ‘Parasite’. Come for the bloody thrills, stay for the pertinent message about humanity and their employment crisis circa 2025.▶ Watch on Hulu · Read the full review
TOGETHER (2025)
Together is a twisted, tactile meditation on love, compromise, and the bodily cost of staying too close for too long, brought to life by Michael Shanks’ sharp direction and a pair of knockout performances from Alison Brie and Dave Franco, both delivering some of their best onscreen work to date. Together, they make the film’s grotesque intimacy feel oddly, disturbingly relatable.▶ Watch on Hulu · Read the full review
SUMMER OF SOUL (2021)
Questlove creates a toe-tapping and revolutionary documentary that’ll have audiences foaming at the mouth for more. The lineup of talent is simply insane, the performances eye-popping, the talking-head commentary on Black culture and music’s place within it is poignant and relevant today without stopping the contagious upbeat energy. An absolute must-see.▶ Watch on Hulu · Read the full review
IS THIS THING ON? (2025)
Will Arnett erupts onto the screen as a real dramatic actor in Bradley Cooper’s thoughtfully funny Is This Thing On?, a midlife crisis story that tackles themes of commitment and purpose with striking clarity. Laura Dern, unsurprisingly, remains a standout.▶ Watch on Hulu · Read the full review
THE CHRISTOPHERS (2026)
Ian McKellen is phenomenal in The Christophers – and Michaela Coel more than holds her own – a film that manages to be both thematically rich and genuinely crowd-pleasing. What begins as a professional collision in the art world gradually turns into something more personal, more complicated. It’s one of Steven Soderbergh’s more restrained, human-scale efforts, and it’s all the better for it.▶ Watch on Hulu · Read the full review
FLOWER (2017)
Max Winkler’s dirty-minded ‘Flowers’ is rude and sweet and offputting and bitterly funny – while featuring an absolutely star-making turn from Zoey Deutch – though it’s got enough narrative quirk to keep you from craving sloppy seconds.▶ Watch on Hulu · Read the full review
RYE LANE (2023)
Rye Lane is a playful romantic comedy that celebrates the ups and downs of starting and ending relationships. Jonsson and Oparah’s natural chemistry and performances are the highlight of the film.▶ Watch on Hulu · Read the full review
WOLF MAN (2025)
Leigh Whannell proves he is the modern maestro of Universal Monster Movies with Wolf Man, a slow-burn creature feature about the horrors of losing oneself while surrounded by those you love – and then trying to slaughter them. Reinforced my deep-seated desire to never get rabies.▶ Watch on Hulu · Read the full review
LAST BREATH (2025)
Last Breath delivers an incredible true story with taut suspense and no-nonsense filmmaking, but beyond its built-in tension, there’s not a ton that will linger. A sturdy, well-executed thriller that’s gripping in the moment but ultimately a one-time watch.▶ Watch on Hulu · Read the full review
DANGEROUS ANIMALS (2025)
Sean Bryne is back in the horror trenches with Dangerous Animals, a genre mash-up that pins its victims between hungry sharks and a psychotic serial killer played with manic madness by a never-better Jai Courtney. It may lack the bite that made Bryne’s best movies so transcendent, but it’s a fun little genre venture nonetheless.▶ Watch on Hulu · Read the full review
