10 Films to See in April
Thanks to a recent date change, April's most intriguing movie—Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused semi-sequel Everybody Wants Some!!—is technically a March release, opening in select theaters tomorrow. But you can see it in April, along with new films from Jeremy Saulnier, Don Cheadle, John Carney, Aleksandr Sokurov, Joachim Trier, and more.
Set in 1980s Dublin, the latest musical from writer-director John Carney (Once, Begin Again) follows 14-year-old Conor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo), whose bickering parents move him from a private school to an inner-city public school, where he’s bullied. But when he meets the stunning Raphina (Lucy Boynton), Conor is inspired to start a band, and, luckily for him, his older brother (Jack Reynor) is ready to mentor him. According to critics who saw the film at Sundance, Carney has produced another crowd-pleaser with great songs and a joyous ending.
