HBO Max just added "Pillion" to the streaming service on June 5, and when I tell you this is a must-watch, I'm not exaggerating. I went to the screening for this movie largely on a whim, and when I walked out of the theater, I was debating whether or not I had seen the best movie of the year.
My British friends reading this will be interjecting at this point, crying out that this is a 2025 movie. And they would be technically correct. In the U.K., this unconventional romantic comedy was released in November 2025 after winning awards at Cannes earlier that year. But for those of us across the pond, "Pillion" didn't hit theaters until February 6.
