‘Bridesmaids’
Streaming on July 1
In a time when mainstream comedies seem to have almost entirely migrated to streaming services, it’s easy to forget how much of a cultural phenomenonBridesmaidswas back in 2011. In effortlessly blending the rom-com with the raunch-com, it served as a much-needed reminder thatgross-out humor didn’t need to be exclusive to men. In addition to its phenomenal box office success, the film’s resonance even led to two Oscar nominations: for Original Screenplay and Supporting Actress for Melissa McCarthy’s breakout performance.
Bridesmaids
‘Fruitvale Station’
Over the last decade, Ryan Coogler has become one of our most exciting blockbuster filmmakers, and it’s easy to forget how small-scale and intimate his career started.His breakout feature,Fruitvale Station, stands as one of the most assured and confident directorial debuts of the 2010s, and a sadly relevant tearjerker. Based on a true story, the film explores the final day in the life of Oscar Grant (Michael B. Jordan, also his breakthrough), a 22-year-old Black man who a police officer fatally shot on New Year’s Day 2009.
‘Sinners’ Will Finally Take a Bite Out of Streaming After $362 Box Office Run as Max Premiere Date Revealed
This year’s hottest horror movie is set to sizzle on Max this summer.
What makesFruitvale Stationso powerful is the fact that Coogler and Jordan refuse to turn Grant into a martyr. He’s just been released from a 16-month sentence in prison, and is simply trying to get his life together while atoning for cheating on his ex-girlfriend and dealing drugs. The resulting tragedy hits all the harderbecauseGrant’s flawed humanity has been so vividly realized, and we feel that a life has been wasted. If you want to see where Ryan Coogler’s career began,it will be available on Hulu on July 1.

‘The Abyss’
Streaming on July 4
It’s hard to name many tentpole filmmakers as visionary as James Cameron. Ever since breaking out in the ‘80s, he’s worked in three separate high-profile sci-fi franchises, pushed the boundaries of visual effects with seemingly every new release, and made the highest-grossing film of all time, twice. Yet, for as beloved asAliens,Terminator 2: Judgment Day, andTitanicare,The Abyssremains surprisingly unsung, even as it arguably stands as every bit their equal.
‘Memoir of a Snail’
Streaming on July 29
Ignore the cutesy title —Memoir of a Snailstands asone of the saddestanimated films in recent memory, aimed at adults and capturing emotions that most live-action features miss the mark on. Directed by Adam Elliott of the similarly heartbreakingMary and Max, the film tells the story of Grace Pudel (Sarah Snook ofSuccession), an emotionally reserved young woman, and the seemingly nonstop tribulations she faces while coming of age.
The Best Movies in Theaters Right Now
As we make our way through the seasons, these are some of the best movies currently playing in theaters.
On paper, Grace’s journey sounds like misery porn incarnate: she suffers emotional abuse from her foster parents, gets separated from her closeted younger brother, and struggles with a lifelong eating disorder. Yet, Elliott, who has stated that the film was loosely inspired by his own life, never loses sight of the rays of hope in the world. As Grace makes a hobby of hoarding snails to keep her company, she forms a close friendship with an older woman, Pinky (Jacki Weaver).Memoir of a Snailis an emotionally trying trip, but it’s nonetheless a testament to the power of the human spirit, andit arrives on Hulu on July 29.
