Tuesday

You don't need another "hidden gem sci-fi" list — Tuesday in the US on Kanopy is simply a strong one. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. 110 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Watch it for Julia Louis-Dreyfus — the performance elevates material that could easily tip into self-seriousness. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Kanopy.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Tuesday earns its spot. The world-building is meticulous, but it is the characters who carry Tuesday through its more ambitious moments. A mother and her teenage daughter must confront Death when it arrives in the form of an astonishing talking bird. The human element stays intact thanks to Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Lola Petticrew, who anchor every scene. It was released in 2024. The rules of Tuesday's world are consistent enough that the big swings never feel like cheating. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Viewers burned by ambitious sci-fi that could not sustain its premise should give Tuesday a chance. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Watch for Julia Louis-Dreyfus in particular — the performance elevates the material. Satisfying on multiple levels.

Tuesday was released in 2024, directed by Daina Oniunas-Pusić. The full 110-minute film is available to watch now.
