A24 has emerged as one of the most innovative production companies in recent years. While the films it produces span all genres – horror, documentary, comedy and more – the entertainment house has become synonymous with a particular aesthetic.
The company has attracted individual filmmakers such as Sofia Coppola, Ari Aster, Yorgos Lanthimos and Barry Jenkins, who have helped define the company’s creative ethos to the point where the film is often easily recognizable as an A24 production. And her films aren’t just underground hits, either. Many of them have also won Oscars, including several titles arriving this month like Moonlight and Everything Everywhere All At One.
while HBO Max It is the premier destination for streaming most of A24’s movies, and you can find some of its best films across many movies Free streaming services like Umbrella, tubesPluto TV and Plex. This July, in addition to the Oscar winners we mentioned earlier, you can see hit films such as Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird, Sean Baker’s Red Rocket and many other great films.
Here are some of our favorite A24 songs you can watch this July without spending a dime.
“Everything Everywhere at Once” is the rare comedy to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. More absurd than downright fun, the 2022 film also earned a Best Actress nod for Michelle Yeoh as a Chinese immigrant whose husband, Waymond (Best Supporting Actor winner Ki Hui Kwan), discovers a multiverse that allows them to jump from one parallel universe to another. The film stars Stephanie Hsu and Jamie Lee Curtis, who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Blending comedy, action and drama all at once, the film changes time and genre.
The Civil War film, written and directed by Alex Garland, is a dystopian thriller that also feels a bit realistic. The film revolves around a modern American civil war taking place between the government and the separatist movements that seek to secede from it. With violence breaking out everywhere, a group of war journalists attempt to travel the dangerous route from New York to Washington to interview the President. Co-starring Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, and Stephen McKinley Henderson.
Yes, it’s a film inspired by a series of tweets, but in the hands of director Janexa Bravo, Zola becomes so much more. In 2015, a woman named Aziza “Zola” King went viral for a story she wrote over the course of 148 tweets about a road trip she took to Florida with a new boyfriend who wasn’t what she seemed. Taylor Paige plays the main character, while Riley Keough plays Stephanie, a stripper who invites Zola to travel to Tampa so they can make money dancing. But what ensues is a brutal story of sex and violence that eventually turns into murder.
Another Alex Garland entry, this one stars Domhnall Gleeson as Caleb, a man tasked by his boss Nathan (Oscar Isaac) with determining whether the humanoid robot he’s developing can become a human. Caleb develops feelings for a robot named Ava (Alicia Vikander) and soon realizes that Nathan’s motives are more manipulative and deceitful than Caleb realized.
Moonlight is another Best Picture winner and will hit free streaming platforms this month. The film, directed by Barry Jenkins, is the story of a boy named Cherone Harris, told in three parts, as he transitions from adolescence to adulthood as he comes to terms with his sexuality. He forms a relationship with a drug dealer named Juan (Mahershala Ali, who won an Oscar for his role), who becomes a father figure to him as he grows older.
Written and directed by Greta Gerwig, Lady Bird stars Saoirse Ronan as Christine Macpherson, a high school student who calls herself “Lady Bird.” As the school year progresses, she becomes desperate to leave her home in Sacramento and attend college on the East Coast, something her family cannot afford. When she secretly applies — and is accepted — to a school in New York, her relationship with her mother (Laurie Metcalf) becomes strained. Gerwig has stated that the film is not a biopic of her life, but the themes of family relationships, teenage longing and hopeful aspirations are universal and captured perfectly. (Catch Timothée Chalamet in one of his early roles as one of Lady Bird’s high school crushes.)
Sean Baker won an Oscar for Anora, but before that, he directed Red Rocket, the acclaimed drama about recently retired adult film star Mickey “Saber” Davis (played by Simon Rex), who returns to his Texas hometown to make a fresh start. While he tries in vain to integrate back into small-town life, he meets a 17-year-old girl (Susanna Sohn) who he convinces to start an adult film career of her own, so they can move to Los Angeles together. Rex has received numerous accolades, including an Independent Spirit Award for his role as Mickey.
