This list of overlooked films for 2020 will help you find the best underground movies that have been released this year. There are plenty of nice underrated films coming to a theater near you soon. But underrated films, from comedies to horror movies like Color Out of Space, come from all over the world and cover every genre.
Here are the most overlooked films of 2020 so far, whether they didn't put butts in seats because of marketing failures, pacing, or because they went too hard against the grain.
The Assistant
In The Assistant, nothing much happens. A young woman (played by Julia Garner of Ozark's)—whose name is obviously Jane, although it's never mentioned in the movie — goes to work in the office of a high-powered Hollywood executive before dawn cracks. She does menial assignments. She accepts calls. She goes home when the day is over, long after the sun has set. But Green made the film's silent scream, which is so quietly terrifying that it becomes impossible to shake. You're probably aware of some version of this story, of course. Jane's unknown boss is clearly a stand-in for Harvey Weinstein, and Jane begins to suspect something is amiss over the course of her otherwise monotonous day. On the carpet is an earring. With no experience, a young, very pretty woman arrives from Idaho and is placed in a fancy hotel. A meeting with an actress lasts until late in the evening. But this is not a tale of triumph over evil perpetrated by men like Weinstein. Instead, it is about the mechanisms in place that have made it possible for his actions to continue for so long. When Jane reaches out to Matthew Macfadyen, a smart HR individual played by Succession, she soon discovers that speaking out is futile. The Assistant is a story of disillusionment, and Garner wears on her face the fatigue, tension, and pain of that. Her success, like the film surrounding it, is agonizing. But the argument is that. (Observe the trailer.)
Guns Akimbo
Often, you need to take it as it is and forget what you want it to be if you really want to enjoy a film. Guns Akimbo, a gory, action-packed black comedy with a horrifically laughable premise, is such an animal.
He plays Miles, an otherwise mild-mannered nerd pushed into a gladiator match called Skizm when weapons are literally screwed into both of his hands. Daniel Radcliffe has never been further from Hogwarts. By following drones that broadcast the action to online viewers, the crazy gunfights and car chases are captured. Eventually, Miles joins hands with one of his rivals to take the battle directly to Riktor (Ned Dennehy), the head honcho of Skizm.
Guns Akimbo doesn't take itself too seriously with over-the-top action scenes and sometimes juvenile humor, and if you want to enjoy it, you need to do the same. There is no heavy social commentary to be found while it plays with the conventions of social media, video games, and action films. For action and laughs, Guns Akimbo exists, and if you're you're looking for something else, you're looking too hard.
