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.
Director Matteo Garrone, who won the Cannes Grand Prix Prize in 2008 for Gomorrah and again in 2012 for Reality, didn’t walk away with any awards when his first English-language feature premiered at the festival last year, but that doesn’t mean critics didn’t enjoy it. The film combines three of Giambattista Basile’s 16th-century folk tales into a bizarre look at three kingdoms and their rulers. John C. Reilly and Salma Hayek play a king and queen obsessed with having a child; Vincent Cassel is a king captivated by a beautiful voice, and Toby Jones is a monarch who shows more care for a flea than his own daughter.
