As it is a leap year, February will have that special “extra day” added to calendars. That’s an extra day to enjoy all that Hulu has to offer as it brings new movies to its streaming platform this month! Although the dreary and cold weather will be with us for at least a few more weeks, February has a way of bringing people together in the aftermath of the holiday chaos between November and January. Whether it’s a new romantic connection, a rekindling of an existing relationship, or bonding over buffalo chicken dip, hilarious advertisements, and performances at the Super Bowl, February is the month when friends and family come together not out of any obligation, but by choice. Whatever your plans are for February, one thing for certain is that there will be no lack of exciting new movies to watch with your loved ones. This article will help you figure out what you can look forward to this month on Hulu!
Suncoast (2024)
Available on: February 9
Director: Laura Chinn | Runtime: 109 minutes| Genre: Drama, Coming of Age
Cast: Nico Parker, Laura Linney, Woody Harrelson, Matt Walsh, Cree Kawa
Suncoast is a semi-autobiographical film that stars Nico Parker (The Last of Us) as a young woman who struggles to find her own identity while dealing with her older brother’s terminal illness. Doris (Parker) finds herself isolated from other teens her age and her mother (Laura Linney) seems to only focus on caring for her son, Max (Cree Kawa). In a role not unlike his performance in The Edge of Seventeen, Woody Harrelson forms a caring, yet unorthodox bond with Doris as he offers her advice on how to navigate her formative years. After her mother decides to spend her nights at Suncoast, the facility where Max is cared for, Doris throws a massive party and gets her first real taste of what it’s like to be a teenager in high school.

Cat Person (2023)
Available on: February 9
Director: Susanna Fogel | Runtime: 120 minutes| Genre: Drama, Thriller
Cast: Emilia Jones, Nicholas Braun, Geraldine Viswanathan, Isabella Rossellini, Fred Melamed
The first holiday that comes to mind in February is usually Valentine’s Day. Filled with chocolates, roses, and other romantic gestures, some people think of this month as the time to put themselves out there to find their person. However, you might want to watch this movie before you go out on a Valentine’s Day date with someone new this year.
Based on a 2017 short story of the same name, Cat Person is a unique film that envelops the thrills (and sometimes nightmares) of modern-day dating. 20-year-old college sophomore Margot (Emilia Jones) works at a movie theater where she is charmed by 33-year-old Robert, played by Nicholas Braun (Succession). Robert is a regular at Margot’s work, and eventually, he asks for her number. The two of them text each other constantly, reveling in the excitement of a potential new relationship, but for some reason, Robert is hesitant to set a time to meet for an actual date. When they do finally go out together, Margot learns that Robert is older than he initially said, that he lied about owning two cats to make him seem less threatening and that the Robert that she’s been texting is a completely different person to interact with in person. The movie serves as a poignant example of the saying that “men are afraid of being rejected by a woman, but women are afraid of what a man will do when they’ve been rejected.”
