15 Sensational Films That Deserve More Appreciation
Overlooked films from 2024 you need to watch — Part 1 of our hidden gem series
Several weeks ago, the 97th Academy Awards wrapped up, putting a bow on another exciting awards season. While Sean Baker’s Anora rightfully earned the spotlight, it was far from the only standout.
Bold storytelling, powerful performances, and inventive filmmaking defined 2024, yet much of it went unnoticed. So if you’re ready to dive deeper into the year’s best cinema beyond the usual headlines, you’re in the right place.
The U.S. released fewer films in 2024 than in 2023 due to lingering post-pandemic effects and the impact of Hollywood strikes.
This sharp decline, however, didn’t stop brave independent (indie) filmmakers from delivering captivating stories about riveting subjects around the globe.
In truth, 2024 produced a jolt of awe-inspiring art, if you knew where to look. Unlike mainstream best of lists, I spotlight unsung indie gems likely missing from your weekly watch list.
Whether it’s a stylish, slow-burn revenge saga or a tender, heart-wrenching family drama, I recognize all great art as cinematic achievements, regardless of genre.
"The best thing I wish for the Academy is that there is not this barrier, that every movie is considered as cinema," Coralie Fargeat told IndieWire.
Movies now exist within an ever-shifting distribution landscape. If you’re like me and don’t live in either NY or LA, it’s difficult to see everything on your watchlist within a single calendar year.
As a result, some notable absent titles include: Seed of the Sacred Fig, Nickel Boys, I’m Still Here, The Brutalist, and All We Imagine As Light.
Another consequence of this evolving distribution model: some 2023 movies didn’t get a wide release until 2024, so they appear on this list.
Regardless of the official release date, the films I loved most last year rejected the pressure to become franchises. Instead, they spoke to our humanity through an empathetic lens.
“And for me, the movies are like a machine that generates empathy. It lets you understand a little bit more about different hopes, aspirations, dreams and fears. It helps us to identify with the people who are sharing this journey with us.” - The first words from Robert Ebert’s “Life Itself.”
My favorite films follow Ebert’s cinematic mantra, constantly expanding the boundaries of on-screen representation.
This curated collection of diverse storytellers features sublime art that rarely shows up on your streamer’s algorithm, but easily justifies your monthly subscription.
That said, lists are personal. This isn’t a ranked countdown; the films are listed in no particular order.
Here are fifteen fantastic, underappreciated movies to add to your ever-growing watchlist.
Why Slow Cinema Still Captivates — When It's Done Right
1. La chimera (2023)
Director: Alice Rohrwacher
Writer: Alice Rohrwacher
Cinematography: Hélène Louvart
Editor: Nelly Quettier
Producer: Carlo Cresto Dina
Cast: Josh O’Connor, Isabella Rossellini, Carol Duarte, Vincenzo Nemolato, Alba Rohrwacher
Where to Stream: Hulu
Life is but a dream in Alice Rohrwacher’s shabby-chic paradise. Known for blending magic and neorealism, the award-winning filmmaker continues to craft introspective character studies within morally complex tales.
Arthur (Josh O’Connor), the leader of a group of grave-robbing misfits, searches for lost ancient Etruscan artifacts, buried in places only he can find. His boyish charm and suave aura guide these close-knit outcasts as they traverse enigmatic landscapes in search of gold and glory.
He also longs for a lost love whose absence renders his waking life unbearable. With one foot in the past and the other sabotaging the present, Arthur sees little hope for a viable future.
Rohrwacher’s hypnotic alternate reality offers no simple answers or tidy resolutions. O’Connor delivers another enchanting performance, blending heartfelt vulnerability with the film’s somber and mythic motifs.
La chimera is a dreamy mood piece, an ode to life’s improbable pursuits set within a whimsical, fleeting la dolce vita.
2. Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell (2023)
Director: Phạm Thiên Ân
Writer: Phạm Thiên Ân
Cinematographer: Đinh Duy Hưng
Editor: Phạm Thiên Ân
Producers: Trần Văn Thi, Jeremy Chua
Cast: Lê Phong Vũ, Nguyễn Thịnh, Nguyễn Thị Trúc Quỳnh, Vũ Ngọc Mạnh
Where to Stream: Kino Film Collection, Hoopla, Kanopy
Phạm Thiên Ân thoughtfully explores life’s ethereal enigmas in his stunning feature debut. This visually complex, nearly three-hour slow-cinema marvel is a 2024 highlight from a rising Vietnamese auteur.
After his sister-in-law dies in a motorcycle crash in bustling Saigon, Thiện (Lê Phong Vũ) becomes responsible for escorting her body, and her surviving five-year-old son, Đạo (Nguyễn Thịnh), back to the rural village where Thiện was raised.
Thiên Ân’s transcendental film features minimal plot and sparse dialogue. Instead, it leans on haunting visuals and meditative pacing to convey one man’s quiet search for faith, purpose, and belonging.
Set against natural, lived-in backdrops, the film’s minimalist aesthetic becomes a melancholic journey, an immersive visual masterpiece that showcases nature’s uncompromising beauty.
Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell is a cinematic treasure from a visionary filmmaker, urging viewers to surrender to the experience rather than scrutinize it.
3. The Beast (2023)
Director: Bertrand Bonello
Writer: Bertrand Bonello
Cinematographer: Josée Deshaies
Editor: Anita Roth
Producers: Justin Taurand, Bertrand Bonello
Cast: Léa Seydoux, George MacKay, Guslagie Malanda, Dasha Nekrasova, Martin Scali, Elina Löwensohn, Marta Hoskins, Julia Faure, Kester Lovelace, Félicien Pinot, Laurent Lacotte
Where to Stream: The Criterion Channel, Kanopy
Bertrand Bonello’s futuristic French romance is an epic, nonlinear tale of star-crossed lovers spanning multiple timelines, with a surprising sci-fi twist unlike anything you’ve seen before.
The year is 2044, and AI has saved the world from climate catastrophe. The trade-off? AI now bars humans from jobs requiring advanced thought, unless they undergo a DNA “cleansing” procedure. Gabrielle (Léa Seydoux) agrees to the process and uncovers a love story for the ages.
Bonello grounds the film’s grandiose concepts in a tragically fated romance. His existential approach to the well-worn romantic trope yields awe-inspiring results. Seydoux and MacKay's magnetic chemistry brings Bonello's lavish costumes and sets to life, portraying elusive love on a monumental scale.
An instant art-house classic, The Beast is an otherworldly meditation on love, grief, and destiny that reimagines sci-fi storytelling with radical depth.
Every Day I’m Hustling in the 21st Century
4. Thelma (2024)
Director: Josh Margolin
Writer: Josh Margolin
Cinematographer: David Bolen
Editor: Josh Margolin
Producers: Zoë Worth, Chris Kaye, Nicholas Weinstock, Benjamin Simpson, Karl Spoerri, Viviana Vezzani
Cast: June Squibb, Richard Roundtree, Fred Hechinger, Clark Gregg, Parker Posey, Malcolm McDowell
Where to Stream: Hulu, Hoopla
Inspired by Josh Margolin’s grandmother’s real-life scare, his debut film delivers the geriatric action-comedy you never knew you needed.
Ninety-three-year-old Thelma (June Squibb), a feisty and fiercely independent woman, falls victim to a telephone scam. Determined to get her money back, she enlists her aimless grandson, Daniel (Fred Hechinger), and her old friend Ben (Richard Roundtree), who lives in assisted living. Hijinks and hilarity ensue, proving that it never pays to underestimate older adults.
Squibb and Roundtree shine in what was, sadly, Roundtree’s final screen performance. Margolin’s background in improv comedy infuses the script with sharp wit, which the duo delivers with flair. He wisely sidesteps cheap laughs, opting instead for smart humor and Mission: Impossible-level antics, all performed on mobility scooters.
Thelma cleverly upends the male-dominated action-heist genre, with two seasoned stars playfully reinterpreting a classic caper from a fresh, age-defying perspective
5. Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World (2023)
Director: Radu Jude
Writer: Radu Jude
Cinematographer: Marius Panduru
Editor: Cătălin Cristuțiu
Producers: Radu Jude, Adrian Sitaru, Ada Solomon
Cast: Ilinca Manolache, Nina Hoss, Uwe Boll, Alex M. Dascalu, László Miske, Dorina Lazar, Ovidiu Pîrsan, Katia Pascariu, Sofia Nicolaescu
Where to Stream: MUBI
Romanian director Radu Jude, renowned for chronicling resilient women facing insurmountable odds, brings his signature eccentricity to this boisterous, darkly comedic satire.
Angela (Ilinca Manolache), a burned-out, overworked production assistant in her twenties, spends her days driving around Bucharest in a cramped car filming a corporate work safety video. As protest against corporate exploitation, she moonlights as a right-wing TikTok provocateur, using an Andrew Tate-style filter to deliver ironic parody videos.
Manolache gives a fearless, layered performance, channeling the absurdity and hardship faced by women trying to survive modern capitalism. Her raw honesty fuels Jude’s experimental, culturally charged narrative, one that critiques the dehumanizing nature of gig work and media manipulation.
Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World boldly dissects corporate greed and the moral decay of systems that prioritize profit over people, with humor, bite, and millennial hustle.
6. Kneecap (2024)
Director: Rich Peppiatt
Writer: Rich Peppiatt
Cinematographer: Ryan Kernaghan
Editors: Julian Ulrichs, Chris Gill
Producers: Jack Tarling, Trevor Birney
Cast: Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, Naoise Ó Cairealláin, JJ Ó Dochartaigh, Josie Walker, Fionnuala Flaherty, Michael Fassbender, Jessica Reynolds, Adam Best, Simone Kirby
Where to Stream: Netflix
Rich Peppiatt’s comedy-drama about the meteoric rise of the real-life Northern Ireland hip-hop group Kneecap is a frenzied blend of fiction and reality. Peppiatt cast real life band members Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, Naoise Ó Cairealláin and JJ Ó Dochartaigh with no prior acting experience to intensify the authenticity of his BAFTA award-winning feature debut.
Liam and Naoise, two hedonistic slackers, spend their days drifting through Belfast while preserving the Gaelic language legacy of Naoise’s father (played by Michael Fassbender). They meet JJ, a disillusioned teacher in search of creative purpose, and together they ignite their passion for spitting politically charged bars in their native Irish.
Peppiatt uses dynamic camerawork and kinetic editing to amplify the trio’s rise—from aimless rebels to globally recognized artists. The film’s gritty energy and irreverent tone mirror Kneecap’s rebellious ethos, while its commentary on language, identity, and resistance gives it weight far beyond its party-anarchist aesthetic.
Kneecap is a triumph of indigenous storytelling with a Gen-Z twist, injecting the musical biopic with attitude, authenticity, and an electrifying original voice.
The Rise of Authentic LGBTQ+ Representation
7. Crossing (2024)
Director: Levan Akin
Writer: Levan Akin
Cinematographer: Lisabi Fridell
Editors: Levan Akn, Emma Lagrelius
Producer: Mathilde Dedye
Cast: Mzia Arabuli, Lucas Kankava, Deniz Dumanlı
Where to Stream: MUBI
Acceptance heals old wounds in Levan Akin’s award-winning LGBTQ+ -themed drama.
Crossing follows Lia (Mzia Arabuli), a retired Georgian teacher who travels to Turkey in search of her transgender niece. Achi (Lucas Kankava), who presents himself as a devoted friend of Lia’s niece but whose motives gradually come into question, joins her on the journey. Together, they connect with Evrim (Deniz Dumanlı), a trans-rights lawyer who helps Lia navigate unfamiliar spaces and confront her regretful past.
Akin, a gay Georgian filmmaker, paints a profound portrait of grief, regret, and redemption through broken characters on the brink of radical change. He lyrically shows how the chosen family we meet along the way can reshape rigid beliefs, from alienating principles into empowering mantras.
Crossing is a heart-wrenching journey that reveals the transformative beauty of unconditional acceptance and love.
8. I Saw the TV Glow (2024)
Director: Jane Schoenbrun
Writer: Jane Schoenbrun
Cinematographer: Eric K. Yue
Editor: Sofi Marshall
Producers: Sam Intili, Sarah Winshall, Emma Stone, Dave McCary, Ali Herting
Cast: Justice Smith, Jack Haven, Ian Foreman, Helena Howard, Lindsey Jordan, Danielle Deadwyler, Fred Durst, Conner O'Malley, Emma Portner
Where to Stream: Max
Jane Schoenbrun’s I Saw the TV Glow stayed with me longer than any other film I watched last year. Schoenbrun, a trans filmmaker, crafts a fluorescent-tinged masterclass in how individuals internalize their otherness in a world hostile to their existence.
Set in a small town in 1996, teenagers Owen (Ian Foreman) and Maddy (Jack Haven) bond over their shared obsession with a Buffy-like TV show, The Pink Opaque. Like the heroines in their beloved program, adult Owen (Justice Smith) and Maddy dream of having the strength to slay their long-standing, bottomless sadness.
Schoenbrun’s emotionally resonant sophomore feature delves into the devastating impact of persistent loneliness through a distinct queer lens. In this ingenious fusion of cosmic and existential horror, Smith delivers a standout performance, and Haven shines as an adult grappling with sexual identity and body dysmorphia.
I Saw the TV Glow is a breathtaking cinematic triumph, using precise introspection to tackle themes of gender, identity, and isolation in a way that cinephiles will discuss for years to come.
9. Love Lies Bleeding (2024)
Director: Rose Glass
Writers: Rose Glass, Weronika Tofilska
Cinematographer: Ben Fordesman
Editor: Mark Towns
Producers: Andrea Cornwell, Oliver Kassman
Cast: Kristen Stewart, Katy O’Brian, Jena Malone, Anna Baryshnikov, Dave Franco, Ed Harris
Where to Stream: Max
No “best of” list would be complete without a high-octane A24 film—and Rose Glass’s sexually charged, surrealist take on obsession more than delivers.
Jackie (Katy O’Brian), a bisexual bodybuilder, seduces Lou (Kristen Stewart), a solitary gym owner in rural New Mexico. Preoccupied with protecting her sister Beth (Jena Malone) from her abusive husband JJ (Dave Franco), and distancing herself from her estranged criminal father, Lou Sr. (Ed Harris), Lou can’t resist Jackie’s dangerous allure. Jackie’s hot temper overwhelms Lou’s protective instincts, leading to a spiral of unintended complications.
Glass’s stylish thriller is a gory meditation on blood-soaked revenge. Ben Fordesman’s saturated color palette and O’Brian’s lionhearted performance magnify the chaos that explodes around Lou and Jackie’s volatile relationship. Glass takes some big swings in the third act, not all of them land, but her audacious and magical climax makes the ride worthwhile.
Love Lies Bleeding is a steroid-pumping adrenaline rush where lust and paranoia collide with ultra-violent consequences.
Re-Imagined Coming-Of-Age Parables
10. Bird (2024)
Director: Andrea Arnold
Writer: Andrea Arnold
Cinematographer: Robbie Ryan
Editor: Joe Bini
Producers: Andrea Arnold, Lee Groombridge, Juliette Howell, Tessa Ross
Cast: Nykiya Adams, Barry Keoghan, Franz Rogowski, Jason Buda, Jasmine Jobson, Frankie Box, James Nelson-Joyce
Where to Stream: MUBI
Andrea Arnold’s British drama is a poetic coming-of-age story that examines the lives of marginalized people living on the fringes of society, told through the eyes of a strong, complex young girl.
Twelve-year-old Bailey (Nykiya Adams), her pipe-dream-chasing father Bug (Barry Keoghan), and her vigilante half-brother Hunter (Jason Buda) live in a dilapidated, graffiti-covered building. After protesting her father’s engagement to a woman she loathes, Bailey crashes into Bird (Franz Rogowski), a mysterious middle-aged drifter. The unlikely pair form an unshakable bond as they traverse the city’s crumbling edges in search of Bird’s long-lost mother.
Arnold brings to life a vibrant world full of diverse outsiders, where resources are limited but community thrives. Her frantic, handheld camerawork mirrors Bailey’s impossible escape of her ruinous circumstances. The National Board of Review named Arnold’s absorbing maturation fable among the top ten independent films of 2024.
Bird is a brilliant, unflinching depiction of unbridled teenage angst with strokes of surreal heroism set against a broken, tragic world.
11. Tótem (2023)
Director: Lila Avilés
Writer: Lila Avilés
Cinematographer: Diego Tenorio
Editor: Omar Guzmán
Producers: Lila Avilés, Tatiana Graullera, Louise Riousse
Cast: Naíma Sentíes, Montserrat Marañon, Marisol Gasé, Saori Gurza, Teresita Sánchez, Mateo García Elizondo, Juan Francisco Maldonado, Iazua Larios, Alberto Amador
Where to Stream: The Criterion Channel, Kanopy
Few films capture the inescapable sounds and emotional terrain of our childhood homes like Tótem, Lila Avilés’s affecting Mexican family drama. From the aromatic, generational dishes brewing on the stove to the caring, confrontational kitchen banter among aunties, Avilés transports us to a time and place that radiates the warmth of unconditional love.
Sol (Naíma Sentíes) and her mother Lucía (Iazua Larios) arrive at her father Tonatiuh’s (Mateo García Elizondo) family home to celebrate his birthday. As the day unfolds, Sol mingles with cousins, aunts, and guests, all frantically preparing for the party. But as the adults maneuver to delay Sol’s reunion with her father, it becomes clear they’re shielding her from a burden too heavy for her young heart.
The quiet power of Tótem rests on Sentíes’ expressive face, a remarkable performance for a first-time actor. From Sol’s three-foot view, she senses the truth and plots a path to see her father one last time. Though she can’t fully grasp the gravity of the moment, her heart embraces each instant with profound tenderness.
Tótem is a mesmerizing blend of folklore and culture, a testament to the restorative strength of familial love and the enduring impact of cherished memories.
12. Evil Does Not Exist (2023)
Director: Ryusuke Hamaguchi
Writer: Ryusuke Hamaguchi
Cinematographer: Yoshio Kitagawa
Editors: Ryusuke Hamaguchi, Azusa Yamazaki
Producer: Satoshi Takata
Cast: Hitoshi Omika, Ryo Nishikawa, Ryuji Kosaka, Ayaka Shibutani, Hazuki Kikuchi, Hiroyuki Miura, Yûto Torii, Takako Yamamura, Takuma Nagao, Yoshinori Miyata, Taijirô Tamura
Where to Stream: The Criterion Channel
Following his Oscar-nominated Drive My Car, Ryusuke Hamaguchi returns with a meditative drama that scrutinizes humanity’s flawed yet well-meaning connection to the natural world.
Takumi Yasumura (Hitoshi Omika), his daughter Hana (Ryo Nishikawa), and their close-knit community inhabit a self-sustaining ecosystem. Dependent on the land’s resources, they coexist peacefully with nature, until talent agents Takahashi (Ryuji Kosaka) and Mayuzumi (Ayaka Shibutani) arrive, representing a glamping company whose commercial plans threaten this delicate balance.
Hamaguchi’s trademark use of minimal dialogue and long, carefully composed tracking shots elevates this eco-parable into a quiet masterpiece. The film lulls viewers into the rhythms of village life before delivering a shattering finale that forces us to question the cost of unchecked development.
Evil Does Not Exist is an elegant and haunting reflection on modern civilization’s disruption of nature, and nature’s capacity to resist.
Another Banner Year for Killer Horror
13. Exhuma (2024)
Director: Jang Jae-hyun
Writer: Jang Jae-hyun
Cinematographer: Lee Mo-gae
Editor: Jung Byung-jin
Producers: Kwon Ji-yong, Park Hyeong-jin
Cast: Choi Min-sik, Kim Go-eun, Yoo Hae-jin, Lee Do-hyun, Kim Sun-young, Kim Jae-cheol, Kim Ji-an
Where to Stream: Shudder, AMC+
Jang Jae-hyun’s Exhuma, a South Korean supernatural folk horror film, makes a sensational addition to the rich history of Asian horror cinema.
The ominous tale follows a wealthy family plagued by a mysterious, generations-old illness. They hire Lee Hwa-rim (Kim Go-eun), a powerful shaman, and her protégé Yoon Bong-gil (Lee Do-hyun), who seek the help of Feng Shui master Kim Sang-deok (Choi Min-sik) and undertaker Yeong-geun (Yoo Hae-jin). What begins as a routine ritual spirals into a nightmarish discovery.
Jae-hyun blends Hitchcockian psychological tension with spiritual dread, examining faith, ancestral trauma, and the haunting echoes of buried sins. With stunning production design and chilling atmospherics, Exhuma delivers a gripping and unsettling horror experience.
Exhuma is a moody, terrifying saga that warns of the catastrophic chokehold of tainted legacies.
14. Red Rooms (2023)
Director: Pascal Plante
Writer: Pascal Plante
Cinematographer: Vincent Biron
Editor: Jonah Malak
Producer: Dominique Dussault
Cast: Juliette Gariépy, Laurie Babin, Elisabeth Locas, Natalie Tannous, Pierre Shagnon, Guy Thauvette, Maxwell McCabe-Lokos
Where to Stream: Shudder, AMC+
Pascal Plante’s suspenseful French Canadian horror film relies more on psychological tension than gore, and is all the more terrifying for it.
Edgy Montreal fashion model Kelly-Anne (Juliette Gariépy) becomes obsessed with the trial of Ludovic Chevalier (Maxwell McCabe-Lokos), a mysterious man accused of brutally murdering three young girls. She befriends Clémentine (Laurie Babin), a fellow groupie who, unlike Kelly-Anne, is convinced of his innocence. Together, they descend into the dark web in search of the truth — or what they want to believe is the truth.
Red Rooms is a deeply disturbing portrait of obsession and voyeurism. Plante deconstructs our cultural fixation with true crime, casting a damning eye on online sleuths, sensationalist media, and the audience’s own complicity in the grotesque spectacle.
A slow-burning psychological nightmare, Red Rooms blurs the line between voyeur and perpetrator, with savage repercussions.
15. Strange Darling (2023)
Director: J.T. Mollner
Writer: J.T. Mollner
Cinematographer: Giovanni Ribisi
Editor: Christopher Robin Bell
Producers: Bill Block, Steve Schneider, Roy Lee, Giovanni Ribisi
Cast: Willa Fitzgerald, Kyle Gallner, Madisen Beaty, Bianca Santos, Steven Michael Quezada, Ed Begley Jr., Barbara Hershey
Where to Stream: Paramount+
Dating turns deadly in Strange Darling, J.T. Mollner’s deranged, blood-soaked American thriller. Shot on Kodak 35mm film in the rugged landscapes of Oregon, this nonlinear story unfolds in six chapters.
“The Lady” (Willa Fitzgerald) and “The Demon” (Kyle Gallner) pull into a seedy motel, teetering between flirtation and suspicion. When “The Lady” asks whether “The Demon” is a serial killer, a deadly game of cat and mouse begins.
Gallner and Fitzgerald sizzle in Mollner’s Tarantino-esque approach to well-worn serial killer tropes. Giovani Ribisi uses his love of photography to imbue a textured, vintage look reminiscent of 70s and 80s slashers such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Mollner’s superb, terrifying nail-biter proves the horror genre warrants greater acclaim.
With a killer score and striking visuals, Strange Darling is a captivatingly deceptive high-voltage thrill ride.
Bonus Pick: Hundreds of Beavers (2022)
Director: Mike Cheslik
Writer: Mike Cheslik, Ryland Tews
Cinematographer: Quinn Hester
Editor: Mike Cheslik
Producers: Kurt Ravenwood, Matt Sabljak, Ryland Tews, Sam Hogerton
Cast: Ryland Tews, Olivia Graves, Wes Tank, Doug Mancheski, Luis Rico
Where to Stream: Prime Video, Hoopla, Kanopy, Tubi, Pluto TV
I’ll admit; I missed seeing Mike Cheslik’s bizarre American indie comedy in a theater, and I regret it. Hundreds of Beavers demands either a big screen or a small audience to fully appreciate its imaginative, slapstick brilliance.
The official plotline reads: In this 19th century, supernatural winter epic, a drunken applejack salesman must go from zero to hero and become North America's greatest fur trapper by defeating hundreds of beavers.
The bits get zanier and the jokes keep coming in Cheslik’s silent black and white diabolical matchup of Looney-tunes and Monty Python. Scrappy DIY production values only enhance the macabre violence and countless running gags, as Chesklik and his crew’s passion for old-fashioned laughs is evident in every shot.
A tribute to a golden age of comedy, Hundreds of Beavers is one of the most outrageously funny and cleverly made films of the past several years.
All films are available to rent or purchase via VOD platforms.
