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.

One of the best-reviewed movies at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Kitty Green’s latest documentary uses a local casting call to collect opinions, theories and performances from professional and non-professional actors auditioning to play members of JonBenet Ramsey's family.
