3 Must-See New Hulu Movies With 90% or Higher on Rotten Tomatoes to Stream in April 2026

If your Hulu queue is running on fumes, April just did you a favor. The service quietly dropped a bunch of actual movies — recent awards players, older international gems, even some classic comedies. Three new arrivals jump to the top for me, all sitting at 90% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes. Translation: low risk, high reward.

• 'Moon' (2009) — RT: 90%
• 'Toni Erdmann' (2016) — RT: 93%
• 'Sirat' (2025 ) — RT: 90%

'Moon' (2009)

Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell ) is nearly done with a lonely three-year contract mining helium-3 on the far side of the Moon. He is counting down the days to go home to his wife Tess (Dominique McElligott) and their young daughter Eve (Rosie Shaw) when things start to slip: headaches, hallucinations, and a nasty accident that should have finished him. Then it gets weirder — he meets a younger version of himself.

What works here is how stripped-down and thoughtful it is. If your brain’s tired of pew-pew CG, this is the other lane — more in conversation with 70s sci-fi like 'Solaris' than modern spectacle. Rockwell mostly plays opposite himself and still carries the whole thing with a quietly great performance. Under the hood, it is poking at identity and the human cost of corporate ownership without turning into a lecture.

'Toni Erdmann' (2016)

Ines Conradi (Sandra Huller) is a laser-focused corporate consultant with zero time for much of anything, including her dad, Winfried (Peter Simonischek). After his dog dies, he decides to crash her carefully managed life by dusting off his favorite prank persona: Toni Erdmann, a chaotic 'life coach' with a shaggy wig and comically huge fake teeth. He barges into her world with outrageous, intrusive stunts — all in the name of making her laugh again, or at least feel something.

This is a slow burn and a long one — close to three hours — but the time is the point. It lets the movie breathe and actually get under these characters’ skin. The tonal dance is tricky: cringey, absurd comedy crashing into genuinely tender beats, and somehow it clicks. Huller (who later scored a 2024 Oscar nomination for 'Anatomy of a Fall') and Simonischek are fantastic together, and the ending earns its reputation without tipping into schmaltz.

'Sirat' (2025)

Luis (Sergi Lopez) heads into the Moroccan desert with his young son Esteban (Bruno Nunez) to find Mar, his missing daughter, last seen at a sprawling EDM party. Their search turns into a rolling interrogation of ravers and DJs, then pushes them to a second off-grid location on a rumor she moved on. All of this unfolds while a simmering global war hums in the background, turning the landscape itself into something hostile. Father and son keep moving because stopping is worse.

'Sirat' came into the awards conversation with Oscar nominations for Best International Feature Film and Best Sound, and while it didn’t win, the nods make sense. It is an unnerving piece of work built on atmosphere and sonic detail — the sound design does a lot of storytelling — and it sits in that uneasy space between survival thriller and existential nightmare. Disturbing, yes, but also strangely transcendent if you let it take over.

If you want the TL;DR: April 2026 on Hulu has range, and these three are the ones I would make time for first.
