11 movies to check out on Hulu this February

For February, Hulu brings home a bunch of under-the-radar indie offerings as well as at least one big-budget movie that has proved elusive on streaming services. The latter is The Abyss, James Cameron’s 1989 sci-fi film starring Ed Harris, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and Michael Biehn that is challenging to find either digitally or even on disc. Also coming to Hulu in February is Naomi Watts in Infinite Storm, Luke Bracey in the mystery-thriller Mercy Road, Trace Lysette in the acclaimed drama Monica, Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum in the rom-com hit The Lost City, Angelina Jolie in Those Who Wish Me Dead, Oscar Best Picture winner Nomadland, and more.

Writer-director Laura Chinn’s semiautobiographical coming-of-age story stars Nico Parker, Laura Linney, and Woody Harrelson. The official synopsis of the film that premiered this year at Sundance reads: “Inspired by the semiautobiographical story of a teenager (Nico Parker) who, while caring for her brother along with her audacious mother (Laura Linney), strikes up an unlikely friendship with an eccentric activist (Woody Harrelson) who is protesting one of the most landmark medical cases of all time.”
