Growing up can be an enormous pain in the neck. It’s hard enough to do the first time, but what if you had to do it all over again? That’s what Bea faces in “Wildflower,” which saw its worldwide debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2022 before making its theatrical debut in March.
“Wildflower” tells the story of high schooler Bea Johnson from birth to graduation as she navigates life with an intellectually disabled parent and an extended family who can’t quite agree on the best way to help. Bea is comatose, but through a series of flashbacks, viewers explore aspects of her life, including past relationships, school drama, and all the other facets that are an important part of growing up.
The movie has a large ensemble cast, including Kiernan Shipka, Brad Garrett, Alexandra Daddario, Dash Mihok, Jean Smart and more. It’s got a 71% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and 93% of audiences who have seen the film also give it a thumbs-up.

If dramatic comedies are your thing, Hulu has one of the best on TV currently. That would be “The Bear,” the darkly humorous, critically acclaimed series about a Michelin-starred chef who returns to Chicago to help run his family’s Italian beef sandwich restaurant. The Season 2 premiere of “The Bear” became the most-watched FX premiere on Hulu in the service’s history when it was released in June.
Hulu also gets next-day streams of ABC and Fox primetime shows. Fans of animated series geared toward adults will love Hulu, as the service recently launched a hub dedicated exclusively to animated content appropriately dubbed “Animayhem.”
Hulu has two plans; its ad-supported tier for $7.99, or ad-free for $14.99. Users can also sign up to Hulu through the Disney Bundle and get access to Disney+ and ESPN+ at a discounted price, with both ad-free and ad-supported options available.
