Hulu continues to be a movie lover’s secret weapon in February 2022, getting ahead of Oscars buzz with the streaming debut of Guillermo del Toro’s carnival noir Nightmare Alley, starring Bradley Cooper and Cate Blanchett as a sham psychic and a conniving psychiatrist playing a dangerous of cat and mouse in ‘40s Albany, New York.
And the Oscar winning director is in good company. We don’t say that just because another del Toro picture, The Shape Of Water (2017), hits Hulu in February: Two standout 2021 indies, the Indigenous coming-of-age story Beans and the post-#MeToo Hollywood satire The Beta Test, are also debuting this month. They’ll sit beside honest-to-goodness modern classics like Whiplash (2014) and The Tree Of Life (2011), both of which got the elusive “A” grade in their A.V. Club reviews.
