We're now just a couple of weeks away from one of the most hotly anticipated films of the year, as The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping hits theaters on November 20. Set several decades before Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss first volunteered as tribute, and also featuring a brief, emotional cameo by the original franchise star, the film is sure to be a huge box office hit as it adapts the latest entry in Suzanne Collins' dystopian book series.

Following its London premiere, first reactions to Sunrise on the Reaping have been glowing, with some calling it one of the franchise's best yet. At the premiere, the film's many famous stars were in attendance, with the likes of Mckenna Grace, Jesse Plemons, Ralph Fiennes, Glenn Close, Whitney Peak, Kieran Culkin, and Elle Fanning all featuring. To get you in the Sunrise on the Reaping mood, ahead of the movie's debut, you can stream one of Fanning's most underrated performances for free.

Starting November 1, the brilliant 20th Century Women will be available to stream for free on Plex. Fanning stars alongside the likes of Lucas Jade Zumann, Annette Bening, and Greta Gerwig in this tale of a determined single mother who enlists the help of two younger women to bring up her adolescent son. Loosely inspired by the childhood of director Mike Mills, this genius coming-of-age tale is one everyone should check out at least once, and it will be available to stream on Plex this November. "If you let yourself get swept up in his delicate and mesmerizing tapestry — you’ll be rewarded," wrote Brian Formo in Collider's review from the time.

Elle Fanning Starred in One of the Year's Best Shows

Fanning isn't just a star of the big screen. Earlier this year, she starred as the titular character in Apple TV's Margo's Got Money Troubles, an adaptation of Rufi Thorpe's bestseller of the same name. The series was a big hit on the streamer, scoring a consistent place among the top ten and even earning a second season renewal. But the show's biggest success came during awards season, as it received a total of 8 Emmy nominations, including an Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series nod for Fanning.
