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.
Director Joe Swanberg reunites with his Drinking Buddies and Digging for Fire star Jake Johnson for this tale of a gambling addict who agrees to watch a duffel bag full of money for a friend headed to prison, only to lose it all and have a short time to win it back. For many critics, it’s the best of their three collaborations. And, as is typical for the director’s films, the supporting players— Keegan-Michael Key, Joe Lo Truglio and Aislinn Derbe—shine as well.
