Everything Coming to and Leaving HBO and HBO Max in February 2023

We're all collectively holding our breath until the new season of Succession drops toward the end of March, but we need things to hold us over until then. HBO and HBO Max are providing with Oscar-nominated films (Empire of Light, the very good bird documentary All That Breathes), more of that funny British guy (Last Week Tonight with John Oliver Season 10), and, if all else fails, Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine's Day Special.

Below, we pulled together our picks for the month, plus a list of everything else coming to HBO and HBO Max in February, and everything that's leaving HBO Max, too.

The Best New HBO and HBO Max Movies and Shows in February

HBO Max streams all HBO shows and movies when they debut on HBO. But not all shows and movies on HBO Max make it to HBO. We'll designate HBO Max exclusives where appropriate.

Empire of Light (Feb. 7, HBO)

Empire of Light is yet another addition to 2022's most popular film genre: movies about the power of movies. (Nope, The Fabelmans, and Babylon are a few more examples of that.) Set in the '80s, Sam Mendes' Oscar-nominated film stars Olivia Colman as a cinema worker struggling with her mental health as she strikes up a fledgling romance with her new coworker (Micheal Ward). The real star of the show is the great Roger Deakins' cinematography, though. [Trailer]

All That Breathes (Feb. 7, HBO)

A nominee for Best Documentary Feature at this year's Academy Awards, All That Breathes is a touching film about two brothers in New Dehli who run a bird hospital. When black kites, a bird of prey essential to the city's ecosystem, start falling out of the polluted skies, the siblings make it their mission to rescue and treat them. The Oscars were right about this one: It's easily one of the best documentaries of the year. [Trailer]

Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine's Day Special (Feb. 9, HBO Max)

No, it's not a new season of the adult animated series absolutely everyone loves, but it is a Valentine's Day-themed one-off special, which is just as good. The special follows Harley (Kaley Cuoco) as she goes to wild lengths to make sure her first V-Day with Ivy (Lake Bell) is perfect. True fans don't need me to tell them that things quickly spiral completely out of control. [Trailer]
