Get ready for some quality viewing with three underrated movies on Max including a star-making turn by Jennifer Lawrence, a classic crime thriller, and a remake.
Max may no longer have HBO in its name, but it does have the movie library of HBO, as well as nearly a century’s worth of Warner Bros. Pictures films, to draw upon. That makes Max one of the prime streaming destinations, especially for underrated movies that didn’t get enough love when they were in theaters.
This month, our selections include a game-changing performance by Jennifer Lawrence, a remake of a cinema classic, and one of the seminal crime thrillers starring the iconic Michael Caine. These are the three underrated movies on Max that you need to watch in November.Winter’s Bone (2010)
While Jennifer Lawrence shot to prominence after headlining The Hunger Games, her real ascension to stardom began two years earlier in Winter’s Bone, a little-seen drama that earned Lawrence her first Oscar nomination for Best Actress at only 20 years old. Lawrence stars as Ree Dolly, a teenager who has been forced into the role of the provider for her family due to her mother’s mental health and the fact that her father, Jessup, is nowhere to be found.
