Must See Movies: April

At Reel Steel we want to make sure you’re getting the most of your cinematic enthusiasm, so each month we put together our short list of some of the best new releases, from popcorn munching explosion fests to the often weird and wonderful.
Take a look at the trailers below and see what you think to this month’s recommendations!

 

Wonderstruck
released Friday April 6th, 2018

Ben and Rose are children who come from two very different worlds, but have much in common – both are hearing impaired, and dream of better things.

Ben longs for the father he has never known, while Rose dreams of a silent movie star whose life she chronicles in a scrapbook. When Ben discovers a note that might lead him to his absent father, and Rose stumbles across an article in the newspaper, both children set out on quests to find what they are missing, which unfold with mesmerizing symmetry.

Two parallel lives set 50 years apart, their paths cross in the same place but at different times.

Based on the critically acclaimed novel by Brian Selznick, who also wrote the screenplay for the film (and whose previous work was adapted by Martin Scorsese for the film Hugo), with Julianne Moore, Michelle Williams and a breakthrough performance from deaf newcomer Millicent Simmonds as Rose, Wonderstruck is a beautiful and imaginative story between time periods from director Todd Haynes (Carol, Far From Heaven).

 

Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts
released Friday April 20th, 2018

In a remote part of Indonesia, a young widow is threatened by a gang at her home.

As the gang force ownership of her, Marlina embarks on a journey in search of justice in a male-dominated society, as her experiences and actions begin to haunt her.

Beautifully shot and scored with elements of the classic Western as well as traditional Indonesian culture, the film updates and adapts a classic genre in this provocative and uncompromising feminist revenge-Western.

This will be the last time we will ever see some of these heroes…
