The Best Movies And Shows Coming To Hulu In September 2021
September has arrived quicker than most of us could've anticipated, and, no matter what a certain Green Day song might suggest, you're going to want to stay awake for the entirety of this month. Well, okay, maybe not the entirety. Continue to get that CDC-recommended 7 or more hours of sleep a night, please!
Just the other day, we brought you a complete list of movies and shows coming to Netflix this month, but that's not the whole picture for most movie junkies with multiple streaming subscriptions. A whole selection of must-watch items are coming to Hulu, which we've highlighted and included for your viewing benefit below. Why? As the /Film motto goes (which I've just made up), Because We Care™.
Magic Mike
When we talk about "range," it's usually in reference to actors. But Steven Soderbergh has to be considered one of the most versatile, wide-ranging, yet easily recognizable filmmakers currently working. He also works at a ridiculous pace, delivering new original movies practically every six months or so. "Magic Mike" added yet more evidence to the pile that the American filmmaker can practically slip into the skin of any genre or subject matter in existence, imbuing the Miami nightlife populated by male strippers with as much warmth and attention to detail as he did when portraying criminals pulling off heists in the "Ocean's" movies. If you've somehow neglected this movie amid the (well-earned) hype surrounding the sequel, don't miss "Magic Mike," streaming on Hulu as of September 1, 2021.
Raising Arizona
"Raising Arizona" is hardly an under-the-radar sleeper pick among the Coen brothers' oeuvre, even as their second overall feature, but it's still worth calling attention to. It boasts an unmissably zany Nicolas Cage performance, an absurdist premise that functions as a pretty nifty commentary on parenting, and has gone on to influence future productions on a level far beyond what Joel and Ethan Coen ever could've hoped. Plus, filmmaker Edgar Wright has gone on record with calling it his favorite movie of all time. How can you go wrong? Having dropped on September 1, 2021, you can check out "Raising Arizona" right this very second.
Road to Perdition
/Film's own Eric Vespe already went long on the casting choice that turned "Road to Perdition" from just another 1930s gangster movie into such a hard-hitting, meditative examination of both Tom Hanks' mass appeal and the travails of his hitman character, Michael Sullivan. Director Sam Mendes takes us on an epic, oftentimes harrowing journey that never flinches away from the consequences of violence and the never-ending cycle of revenge that it breeds. "Road to Perdition" was another movie that Hulu made available to stream on September 1, 2021. Get to it!
La La Land
I envy you if you managed to miss out on all the #discourse surrounding "La La Land" after its release, featuring a myriad of seemingly daily controversies in the lead-up to the Academy Awards that turned the Damien Chazelle musical into a pop culture flashpoint. But when it isn't forced to serve as a referendum on any given viewer's moral standing, "La La Land" is a wonderful and emotional look at a whirlwind romance through the eyes of two individuals who prioritize art above almost all else. Those who've experienced similar relationships will no doubt find that the turbulent passions between Sebastian and Mia hit home ... and that's before even getting to that gut-punch of an ending montage. For the romantics and musical fans among us, you only have to wait until September 8, 2021, to revisit "La La Land" on Hulu.
Colette
Death, taxes, and Keira Knightley starring in extravagant period pieces. These are simply the facts of life and "Colette" is a worthy addition to such an exclusive canon of films. Wash Westmoreland's biopic tells the real-life story of Gabrielle Sidonie Colette and her bracingly modern struggle to be taken seriously as an author and as a woman with a then-unconventional sexual appetite and gender identity. It's easy to mistake its trappings as Oscar-bait fluff, but the engaging and powerfully relevant story proves to be so much more than that. Trust me when I say it'll be worth waiting just a little longer for this one, as "Colette" comes to Hulu on September 13, 2021.
