Similar to films such as Lady Bird (2017), Juno is admired by movie lovers everywhere because of the inspiring evolution of its protagonist. It’s a strong character study and one that never fails to make me laugh, cry and everything in between with each watch.
Juno MacDuff (Elliot Page) is a 16-year-old high school student who finds out that she’s pregnant. After deliberating whether or not to see the pregnancy to term, she decides to give the child up for adoption to Mark and Vanessa (Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner), a couple who have longed to be parents.

Looking for a new movie to stream to test your emotional limits? Call Me By Your Name will do just that.
If you haven’t already watched Luca Guadagnino’s masterpiece, you’ll soon understand why everyone raves about it. Not only is it a solid book-to-movie adaptation, but Guadagnino takes the story to new heights, mainly through its beautifully curated shots that make each scene look like a painting.

School of Rock (2003)
Watch On
RT score: 92%
Age rating: PG-13
Runtime: 109 minutes
Director: Richard Linklater
Arriving on: September 1
I recently included School of Rock in a roundup of my favorite comfort movies, and I can’t wait to see it come to Hulu in September. If you’re only knowledge of the movie is from its stage musical adaptation, allow me to separate the two for you.
Reckless rocker and guitarist Dewey Finn (Jack Black) is kicked out of his band with no other means of income lined up. But one phone call allows him to pose as a substitute teacher at an elite elementary school, where he discovers the students are skilled classic musicians. To aid his financial needs, he decides to enter his class into a battle of the bands contest, but things go awry when his cover is blown.
Not only is School of Rock a fun and easy weekend watch, it’s a 101 on rock music and the most influential artists to come from the genre. Additionally, Joan Cusack’s performance as the principal with a Stevie Nicks obsession is just as entertaining.
Sister Midnight (2024)
Watch On
RT score: 98%
Age rating: N/A
Runtime: 110 minutes
Director: Karan Kandhari
Arriving on: September 9
Amid Hulu’s slew of September titles is this recent release, Sister Midnight, which came out last year and has a 98% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. Although it’s not as big as the other titles in our list, there’s always room for independent and international movies in our picks, especially with a score that high.
Kandhari’s black comedy follows young woman Uma (Radhika Apte) who enters an arranged marriage and moves to Mumbai. Quickly, she realizes that her new marriage isn’t fulfilling and struggles to adapt to her new life. Her frustrations grow stronger, but her life takes a turn when she’s bitten by a mosquito, and she develops unusual animal-like cravings.
