While Watch With Us loves to promote the hits, we also like to find time to give shout-outs to the little movies, too. This weekend, we're looking to Hulu for some top-quality, under-the-radar flicks to quench our cinephile thirsts this weekend. The streamer has a fantastic library of movies both old and new, mainstream and independent, domestic and international. For this roundup, our picks feature stars like Margaret Qualley, Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott. Check out these three low-key bangers that we can't wait to watch this weekend. 7 New Movies to Watch This Weekend on Netflix, HBO Max and More (December 19-21) 'Sanctuary' (2022) In the wake of his father's death, Hal Porterfield (Christopher Abbott) is about to inherit the position of CEO of his family's hotel chain. Preparing to take on the new high-profile role, Hal decides to cut ties with the dominatrix he's been secretly seeing for some years, Rebecca (Margaret Qualley). But Rebecca isn't too eager to end their lucrative and mutually fulfilling relationship, and she traps Hal in a hotel room for one wild night in a desperate bid to maintain the upper hand. This claustrophobic psychological black comedy is a perverse game of cat-and-mouse between Abbott and Qualley, who carry the brisk, chaotic screenplay with their simmering chemistry. Zachary Wigon's inventive direction keeps the one-location nature of the movie constantly engaging, piling on tension both sexual and otherwise. In the end, Sanctuary is a genuinely erotic and wickedly fun throwback thriller. 'Swallow' (2019) Young, pregnant housewife Hunter (Haley Bennett) leads a seemingly perfect life after marrying wealthy CEO Richie Conrad (Austin Cowell) and tending to their idyllic home in upstate New York. But the monotony of Hunter's quiet day-to-day life begins driving her to a strange compulsion - swallowing inedible objects. With her husband and his powerful family aiming to tighten control of Hunter and her disorder, she is forced to confront the dark place where her urges stem from. Where Mad Men may have taken one approach at exploring the pains of domestic malaise, Swallow swings in a unique direction at the entire other end of the spectrum. Awash in pop-art saturated color that stands in contrast to the dark material, the movie is a terrifically disturbing psychological horror about women's bodily autonomy and patriarchal control, carried by a scene-stealing lead performance from Bennett. 'All of Us Strangers' (2023) Lonely British screenwriter Adam (Scott) lives a mundane life of seclusion, when one night he has a chance encounter with one of his neighbors, a young man named Harry (Mescal). Though Adam declines Harry's drunken invitation to come over, they develop a passionate relationship after they meet again in the elevator. As their love affair progresses, Adam finds himself confronted by ghosts from his past and his present. 28 Must-Watch Movies on Hulu Right Now (December 2025) All of Us Strangers is a masterclass acting two-hander between Scott and Mescal, as the two lauded actors nimbly feel out the emotional grooves of director Andrew Haigh's script. The second adaptation of Japanese author Taichi Yamada's novel Strangers, Haigh's film is a deeply personal and profoundly moving portrait of grief, love and self-acceptance that rips out your heart and doesn't give it back.
