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.
Footnote director Joseph Cedar’s latest examination of Jewish life stars Richard Gere as the titular character, a hustler, whose gesture to an Israeli politician makes him an influential figure in the New York-Israeli community. As the title reveals, it’s not all roses for Gere’s Norman, but the actor has earned plenty of praise in early reviews and is supported by a strong cast that includes Lior Ashkenazi, Michael Sheen, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Steve Buscemi, Dan Stevens, Josh Charles, and Hank Azaria.
