Who is Julia Fox? Check out this hot list of movies you can see her in

Julia Fox is a household name these days. Her eye-catching fashion, coupled with the high-profile relationship she had with Kanye West, has made her a regular tabloid fixture, while her social media posts and various public statements make her a regular talking point on apps like TikTok. Because Fox is known for stirring controversy in each of these mediums, it can be easy to overlook the fact that she got her start as an actress. She’s notched quite a few projects under her belt, despite starting her career as recently as 2018. She’s held her own against some of the biggest stars in the world, and collaborated with some of the most acclaimed filmmakers working in Hollywood today. So, with that in mind, here’s a rundown of the Julia Fox movies you need to check out ASAP.

Uncut Gems

The film that started it all. Uncut Gems was a sleeper hit when it was released in 2019, and has steadily built up a reputation as one of the best thrillers of the decade. Josh and Benny Safdie direct each scene as though the characters are on the brink of falling apart, and the frenetic, anxious pacing allows the actors to bring incredible energy to the table. Adam Sandler dominates as the jeweler and gambling addict who drives the plot, but the film would be lacking were it not for Fox’s surprisingly agile performance as Sandler’s girlfriend. She initially comes off as vapid, but the deeper we delve into the plot, the more she reveals herself to be the lone voice of support in Sandler’s crumbling world. A remarkable debut.

PVT Chat

PVT Chat (2020) is a perfect showcase for Fox’s talents. She plays Scarlet, a cam girl who becomes the subject of affection — and obsession — for online gambler Jack (Peter Vack). Things run smoothly as long as anonymity is maintained, but all that goes out the window when Jack runs into Scarlet on the streets of San Francisco. The film is an erotic thriller in the classic sense, mixing sex and thought-provoking subject matter. To say Jack behaves creepily towards his online crush would be an understatement, and director Ben Hozie explores this behavior in consistently inventive ways. The real star of PVT Chat is Fox, though, who manages to both embody Jack’s fantasy and deliver a nuanced piece of characterization. This is a must for those looking to join the Fox hive.

No Sudden Move

Fox’s status as a sex symbol has made her a natural fit for thrillers and film noir. She has the aura of a femme fatale, and director Steven Soderbergh weaponized this when he cast her in the star-studded HBO release No Sudden Move (2021). Fox plays Vanessa, the wife of 1950s mobster Frank Capelli (Ray Liotta) and the mistress of low-level enforcer Ronald Russo (Benicio del Toro). No Sudden Move is filled to the brim with double-crosses and shady deals, and the ensemble cast has a lot of fun in the process. The aforementioned trio is joined by Jon Hamm, Don Cheadle, Kieran Culkin, Matt Damon, David Harbour and Brendan Fraser, so it’s a credit to Fox that she stands out as one of the film’s strongest turns. We won’t spoil anything, but we will say that she’s got more than a few tricks up her sleeve.

Presence

Fox reunited with Steven Soderbergh for the 2024 ghost-story thriller Presence, which unfolds from the point of view of the ghost itself. She plays realtor Cece, whose presence in the haunted house adds another layer of tension to the family drama at the center of the story. The film earned an 87% on Rotten Tomatoes, and Fox’s grounded turn gives the supernatural elements a human anchor. It is a neat reminder that Soderbergh likes to keep his favorite actors close when he has a tricky genre puzzle to solve.

The Trainer

The dark comedy The Trainer finally reached screens after years of rumors. Fox plays Bee Luciani, a woman navigating the absurd world of fitness culture and family pressure. The film had its world premiere at the Rome Film Festival in October 2024 and screened at Tribeca in June 2025. The cast includes Paris Hilton and Lenny Kravitz, and Fox leans into the satirical edge while still keeping her character relatable. It is the kind of role that lets her mix deadpan humor with the emotional undercurrents she first showed in Uncut Gems.

Him

In 2025 Fox stepped into bigger studio horror with Him, a thriller produced by Jordan Peele. She plays Elsie White opposite Marlon Wayans, and the story follows a former athlete pulled into a sinister world of ambition and ritual. The September 2025 release gave Fox a platform that reached beyond the indie circuit, and her scenes with Wayans crackle with uneasy chemistry. It marks a clear move toward larger-scale projects while still playing to her strength for characters who hide more than they reveal.

Idiotka and Night Always Comes

Fox balanced comedy and drama in two 2025 releases that showed her range. In Idiotka she stars as Emma Wexler and also serves as executive producer; the film sits at 68% on Rotten Tomatoes and follows a chaotic social climber trying to stay ahead of her own schemes. Night Always Comes places her in a Netflix ensemble as Gloria, part of a gritty overnight odyssey through Portland. The two projects arrived months apart and proved she can carry a lead while also thriving in a crowded cast.

Recent Career Milestones

Fox signed with UTA in March 2026, a move that signaled serious industry investment in her next chapter. She is executive producing several titles and will star in the sapphic dystopian romance Perfect, which is set to premiere at SXSW in 2026. Additional projects in various stages include One Night Only, Loser, and Northbound. The expanded slate shows an actor who is no longer just taking roles but shaping the productions around her.

Future projects

The original 2023 predictions have long since passed, and the record now includes several completed films. Puppet arrived in 2022. The Trainer rolled out across festivals in 2024 and 2025. The 2024 through 2026 slate already features Presence, Him, Idiotka, Night Always Comes, and the upcoming Perfect. Fox has added executive producer credits on Idiotka and Perfect, and the UTA deal positions her for even more control over the stories she tells. Her filmography keeps growing, and the momentum shows no sign of slowing.
