Head to Hulu in April if you need some high-quality cinema experiences.
The streamer recently added a bevy of fantastic flicks to its library, from recent Oscar nominees to older international hits and hilarious classic comedies.
Watch With Us wants to highlight three movies in particular that were just added to Hulu and boast at least a 90 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes — so you know they’re good.
Our first choice is Moon, starring Sam Rockwell as an astronaut who experiences an outer-space crisis.
‘Moon’ (2009)
Rotten Tomatoes score: 90 percent
Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) has been in space for three years, mining helium-3 on the far side of the Moon. However, his lengthy stint is finally coming to an end, allowing him to reunite with his wife Tess (Dominique McElligott) and their young daughter Eve (Rosie Shaw). As Sam nears his time to come home, he begins suffering from hallucinations and headaches, which cause him to have a near-fatal accident. As if things couldn’t get weirder, he comes face-to-face with what appears to be his own doppelgänger, except younger.
Moon receives high marks for being a meditative and cerebral sci-fi, offering an alternative to action and CGI-heavy spectacles that tend to flood mainstream cinema. The film evokes the contemplative nature of 1970s science fiction movies like Solaris, and is carried by a nuanced performance from Rockwell, who largely acts against no one but himself. The well-written script explores themes of identity and corporate exploitation.
‘Toni Erdmann’ (2016)
Rotten Tomatoes score: 93 percent
Hard-working businesswoman Ines Conradi (Sandra Hüller) has almost no time for her personal life, not even to comfort her father, Winfried (Peter Simonischek). Following the death of Winfried’s beloved pet canine, he decides to reconnect with Ines by putting on one of the many disguises for fun, pretending to be a life coach with big fake teeth named Toni Erdmann. Winfried is convinced the way back into his daughter’s life (and the way to get her to laugh again) is by upending her stuffy existence with outrageous and intrusive gags.
Toni Erdmann is an ambitious and funny character study that pairs its unconventional narrative with a genuinely heartfelt and touching emotional core. The movie is a strange yet satisfying journey, balancing cringey absurdity with richly rewarding emotional beats and a pair of fantastic performances from Hüller (who was Oscar-nominated in 2024 for her performance in Anatomy of a Fall) and Simonischek. While a slow-moving, three-hour film, the lengthy runtime allows Toni Erdmann to explore its characters with care and nuance.
‘Sirāt’ (2025)
Rotten Tomatoes score: 90 percent
Accompanied by his young son Esteban (Bruno Núñez), Luis (Sergi López) ventures to an EDM festival in the Moroccan desert in search of his missing daughter, Mar, who was last seen at a desert dance party. As Luis desperately interviews festival-goers to no avail, the father and son join a small group of ravers at a second location in the hopes that Mar has relocated there. As global war creeps along in the background, Luis and Esteban struggle to traverse the dangerous terrain ahead of them.
Sirāt is a recent Academy Award nominee, with nods for Best International Feature Film and Best Sound, though it took home neither. However, the nominations alone were more than deserved; Sirāt is an incredibly unique and disturbing experience that uses a formidable command of atmospheric tension and sound design woven into its poignant exploration of survival, transcendence and existential dread.
