  "account": "Three underrated movies currently available on Hulu offer a delightful escape for weekend viewing. The first recommendation is a delightful London romance, where Yas and Dom's chance encounter in an art gallery's restroom evolves into a day of wandering the city together. Director Raine Allen-Miller's vibrant cinematography brings the city to life, while lead actors David Jonsson and Vivian Oparah deliver an effortless chemistry that keeps the audience engaged. With an IMDb rating of 7.2/10 and a 94% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes, this film promises to transport viewers to South London through its unique walk-and-talk format.\n\nAnother hidden gem on Hulu is a heartfelt comedy-drama about two individuals seeking intimacy and connection. Retired schoolteacher Nancy Stokes embarks on a journey of self-discovery after meeting Leo Grande, a sex worker, in a hotel room. The film skillfully transforms a potentially awkward premise into a gentle, funny reflection on body image and vulnerability. The mostly confined setting of a single room allows the conversation between Emma Thompson and Daryl McCormack to take center stage, making for a tender and impactful viewing experience with an IMDb rating of 7.4/10 and a 94% Tomatometer rating.\n\nLastly, a sci-fi horror film titled \"The Last House\" provides a unique blend of emotional isolation, burnout, and existential dread. Starring Oscar nominees Wagner Moura and Greta Lee, the movie follows the Delgado family as they are trapped inside their house by a mysterious rain. Director Louis Leterrier's first sci-fi horror film offers a fresh take on the genre, focusing more on the human experience than on special effects. With an IMDb rating of 7.3/10 and a 94% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes, \"The Last House\" is a must-watch for those seeking an emotional, thought-provoking cinematic experience.",
  "summary": "This Hulu Weekend Watchlist rounds up three underrated titles, a London romance, a self-acceptance drama, and a time loop comedy, each worth adding to your list.",
