14 Films to See in April
In addition to the eighth Fast and Furious film, the month ahead will bring a monster movie comedy, an adaptation of Dave Eggers' tech industry novel, and new films from Joe Swanberg, Ben Wheatley, and Cristian Mungiu, and more. In addition to a dozen notable theatrical releases, we have also included a pair of promising new Netflix exclusives streaming later this week.
The End of the Tour and The Spectacular Now writer-director James Ponsoldt’s adaptation of Dave Eggers’ novel follows Emma Watson’s Mae as she excels at the world’s largest tech company and is encouraged by company founder Eamon Bailey (Tom Hanks) to live her life with complete transparency. Hanks starred in Tom Tykwer’s adaptation of Eggers’ A Hologram for the King last year, but here he’ll play a more sinister character alongside a strong supporting cast that includes Karen Gillan, John Boyega, Ellar Coltrane, and Bill Paxton in one of his last performances.
