3 New Peacock Movies With at Least 90 Percent on Rotten Tomatoes (June 2025)<\/a><\/p>\n

This melodrama from Carol director\u00a0Todd Haynes\u00a0explores sexuality, power dynamics and sensationalism in a tightly-wound, complex and jarringly funny film. Natalie Portman stars as actress Elizabeth Berry, who is offered the role of notorious pedophile Gracie Atherton-Yoo (played with quirky eeriness by Julianne Moore<\/a>) in an upcoming film. Eager to get inside Gracie\u2019s head, Elizabeth travels to Georgia to meet Gracie and her husband Joe (Charles Melton), whom Gracie was arrested for raping when he was 13 and she was 36.<\/p>\n

Before long, Elizabeth entwines herself into the lives of the couple and their three children, leading Joe to question everything he believes about himself and his family. Portman\u2019s performance balances venom and innocence, while Melton portrays an inner turmoil that will stun viewers with its intensity.<\/p>\n

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 91 percent<\/a><\/p>\n

Sometimes, things just don\u2019t go your way \u2014 who hasn\u2019t experienced that? And sometimes, your roommate\u2019s boyfriend steals your rent money and you have to earn enough to replace it by the end of the day to avoid eviction, all while preparing for the biggest interview of your life. All right, you may not have experienced those exact circumstances, but you\u2019ll definitely relate to Dreaux (Keke Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA<\/a>) as they scramble to earn some quick cash during one chaotic, hilarious Los Angeles day.<\/p>\n

One of Them Days feels like a mix between Friday, Bridesmaids and Insecure, with a talented cast that includes cameos from Lil Rel Howery, Katt Williams and Maude Apatow. Palmer is as reliably charming as ever, and SZA is a shining star in her acting debut. The friendship between the two roommates is the heart of this hysterical movie.<\/p>\n

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 94 percent<\/a><\/p>\n

What if a lie you told to impress your crush became the best thing that ever happened to you? When 15-year-old loner Conor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) tells model Raphina (Lucy Boynton<\/a>) that she should be in a music video for his band, he has no choice but to start one. What starts as a ploy to spend time with Raphina leads him and his newfound friends to bond over music, despite the economic stress and grim mood that\u2019s taken over 1980s Dublin.<\/p>\n

The band christens themselves \u201cSing Street\u201d after the oppressive Christian Brothers school, Synge Street, that they attend, and their artistic expression inspires them to stand up to the school and to their parents. Funny, sweet and musically exuberant, this film from Once director John Carney is one of our favorites from the 2010s.<\/p>\n

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 95 percent<\/a><\/p>\n

3 Netflix Movies I Can\u2019t Wait to Watch in September 2025: \u201910 Things\u2019 and More<\/a><\/p>\n

We must! We must! We must rewatch this movie!<\/p>\n

Nearly every girl in America grew up reading Judy Blume\u2019s iconic novel, Are You There God? It\u2019s Me, Margaret, so it was bound to be difficult to adapt it for the big screen \u2014 but director Kelly Fremon Craig absolutely knocked it out of the park. The Edge of Seventeen director kept all the important elements of the original story of Margaret Simon (Abby Ryder Fortson) \u2014 like first periods, first crushes and first identity crises \u2014 while adding more storylines for characters like Margaret\u2019s mother Barbara (Rachel McAdams<\/a>).<\/p>\n

A great \u201870s soundtrack and heartfelt performances make this an unmissable film and a great addition to Netflix. While it’s a coming-of-age story, great performances and universal themes make it a great watch for all ages.<\/p>\n

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 99 percent<\/a><\/p>\n

If you didn\u2019t watch this documentary while you were quarantining during April of 2020, you missed out. The film, produced by Ryan Murphy<\/a> and Jason Blum, follows an elderly lesbian couple \u2014 former All-American Girls Professional Baseball League player Terry Donahue and her partner, Pat Henschel \u2014 as they finally come out of the closet to Terry\u2019s family after more than 60 years as a couple.<\/p>\n

As they navigate the challenges of aging alongside the challenges of prejudice, their love is obvious and heartwarming. With its warmth, realism and heart, A Secret Love more than\u00a0lives up to its critical acclaim.<\/p>\n
