14 Films to See in May
Hollywood's summer movie season officially kicks off in May, and that means the arrival of big-budget fare such as a Guardians of the Galaxy sequel and Ridley Scott's latest Alien scarefest. But you can also expect a number of promising indie films, including some recent film festival favorites, timely documentaries about Syria, Julian Assange, and a key Trump advisor, and Amber Tamblyn's well-reviewed directorial debut. Get the details on the month's most intriguing films below.
Liev Schreiber stars as boxer Chuck Wepner in this biopic directed by Philippe Falardeau (Monsieur Lazhar, The Good Lie). Known as the “The Bayonne Bleeder,” Wepner was the inspiration for Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky, but he was never able to capitalize on his notoriety. Also starring Elisabeth Moss and Naomi Watts as Wepner’s second and third wives, the film was well-received when it premiered in Venice last year (under its original title, The Bleeder).
