The 10 Best Overlooked Movies of Summer 2026

"Burt" (Filmhub) is an artful and intimate drama that stands out in the realm of independent films. Shot in just seven days on a shoestring budget of $7,000, the movie stars Burt Berger as a musician battling Parkinson's disease who discovers he has an adult son, Samy, played by Oliver Cooper. Despite the obvious obstacles and challenges, Burt remains determined to forge a bond with his son.

The film's stark photography and honest writing provide a strong foundation, but it's the wonderful performances that truly shine. The characters are so specific and wonderfully odd that viewers can never doubt their authenticity. "Burt" is a gem that should have garnered more attention, and deserves to be elevated on "overlooked movie" lists like this one.
