"I just want to make you think about where we are in America right now," director Lee Daniels said about the biopic, which follows jazz icon Billie Holiday, who was targeted by the federal government largely because of her controversial and heart-wrenching song, "Strange Fruit."
Another movie that has everyone talking is romantic-comedy "Palm Springs," starring Andy Samberg, Cristin Milioti, J.K. Simmons and Camila Mendes. The film adds a sci-fi twist to the comedy genre, with the two main characters stuck in a time loop, and was crowned the most-watched movie of 2020 on the streaming service, according to Hulu's year-end report.
