Fashion never forgets, even when Miranda Priestly pretends she does. Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs returns to Runway as the magazine faces a shifting media landscape, forcing her back into orbit with Meryl Streep’s icy editor-in-chief and Emily Blunt’s sharp-tongued Emily Charlton. With Stanley Tucci also back as fashion director Nigel Kipling, this glossy sequel proves office politics still look better in couture.
🎥 Hokum
(Fri, May 1st — wide release)
Adam Scott has a gift for making ordinary guys feel anything but dull. In this eerie Irish horror tale, he plays a reclusive novelist who travels to the countryside to scatter his parents’ ashes, only to find himself staying at an inn steeped in witchy folklore and creeping unease. Writer-director Damian McCarthy aims to keep the dread slow, stylish, and deeply unsettling, proving some local legends are better left as hokum.

(Fri, May 1st — wide release)
Revolution gets messy once the pigs discover the perks of power. This animated take on George Orwell’s classic fable follows a farmyard uprising that begins with dreams of equality, only to unravel into propaganda, fear, and four-legged tyranny. With Seth Rogen voicing Napoleon, Andy Serkis directing, and Nicholas Stoller writing, this darkly comic allegory proves some animals are more equal than others.

Street justice gets served with a grindhouse kick in this pulpy revenge thriller from RZA. Shameik Moore stars as a former soldier and ex-con who uncovers a sinister conspiracy in a town where young men keep disappearing.

Set against the 2008 financial crisis, John Magaro stars in this quiet coming-of-age drama as a worn-down father driving his daughter (Molly Belle Wright) and younger son (Wyatt Solis) across the American West, where an impending foreclosure becomes impossible to outrun. This tender family portrait finds growing up in the moment you realize home isn’t ahead... it’s already slipping away behind you.
🎥 The Last One for the Road
(Fri, May 1st — limited release)
Some comeback stories come with a lot of bad ideas and worse hangovers. Filippo Scotti and Sergio Romano star as aging small-time hustlers chasing buried riches after an old partner resurfaces with one last scheme. Directed by Francesco Sossai, this scruffy Italian road-trip caper wanders through taverns, detours, and the dusty remains of glory days gone sideways.
🎥 Two Pianos
(Fri, May 1st — limited release)
Old flames have a way of playing out of tune. François Civil stars as a globe-trotting pianist who returns to Lyon for one final performance with his demanding former teacher (Charlotte Rampling), only to be pulled back toward a volatile ex (Nadia Tereszkiewicz) who refuses to fade quietly. Writer-director Arnaud Desplechin turns this intimate French romantic drama into a chamber piece of love, loyalty, and unfinished business.
🎥 American Agitators

Change doesn’t happen by accident. Narrated by Mexican-American filmmaker/activist Luis Valdez (La Bamba), this inspiring documentary traces the life and legacy of Fred Ross Sr., the pioneering community organizer whose work helped shape civil rights victories, labor movements, and generations of grassroots activism. From Dust Bowl struggles to modern organizing, the film makes a clear case that persistence can move mountains... and history.
🎥 Our Land (Nuestra Tierra)
(Fri, May 1st — limited release; in NY with other cities to follow)
A single murder trial opens the door to centuries of buried injustice. Acclaimed Argentine filmmaker Lucrecia Martel turns the killing of Indigenous activist Javier Chocobar into a searing documentary about the Chuschagasta people’s fight for land, identity, and recognition. What begins in a courtroom becomes a wider reckoning with colonial history that never really ended.
