Just be yourself: sentiments easier said than done. The phrase is perfect fodder for coming-of-age films whether the meaning is to educate acceptance in one’s self on the skin’s surface or below. But being perfectly suited towards becoming a resonant vehicle for life lessons doesn’t mean the process of accomplishing that goal with mass audience appeal will be a walk in the park. Sometimes the inherent convention of such thematic underpinnings is too great to overcome. Sometimes the dramatic weight of heavier circumstances projected upon them—those able to necessitate your desire to cease being that which everyone wants—is too tragic for the public at-large to fully embrace. Writer/director John Butler‘s Handsome Devil possesses subject matter for both these pitfalls to consume and yet it survives nonetheless.

Summer blockbuster season has (almost) arrived, and with the U.S. launch of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 inching ever closer – box office analysts predict a commendable domestic opening in the region of $140m-$160 million – Hollywood studios are gearing up for one of the most crucial and indeed crowded periods on the calendar.
Following up on James Gunn’s spectacular sequel, Warner Bros. is all set to unveil King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword on May 12th – those across the pond can expect Guy Ritchie’s fantastical epic to touch down on May 19th, when said reimagining will be squaring off against Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant – and today brings forth the new, and surely final trailer that uncovers a prophecy long foretold.
We are, of course, referring to Arthur’s quest to rule Camelot and essentially overthrow the power-mongering tyrant, Vortigern. The Young Pope and soon-to-be Fantastic Beasts...

We may never run out of movies to make about World War II, the people who lived through it, and the people who didn’t. It may seem a bit obvious given the global scope of the conflict, but the sheer number of narratives that have emerged from the period is truly mind-boggling, bordering on the infinite, and it often feels as though most of them have made their way in front of a camera. The Holocaust alone offers more stories than we could ever hope to pass along — in Niki Caro’s beautifully realized and occasionally stirring “The Zookeeper’s Wife,” even the animals have their own tales to tell.
Adapted from Diane Ackerman’s book of the same name, Caro’s most vivid and complete film since “Whale Rider” relays the remarkable true story Antonina and Jan Żabińska (Jessica Chastain and “The Broken Circle Breakdown” star Johan Heldenbergh...

Families who cut open cadavers together stay together. That, at least, is the vibe given off by “The Autopsy of Jane Doe,” a thriller starring Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch as a team of father-son coroners whose latest corpse provides more questions than answers. Watch the film’s first teaser trailer below.

“The Autopsy of Jane Doe” marks the English-language debut of Norwegian filmmaker André Øvredal, who previously directed “Trollhunter.” The minute-long ad doesn’t show Cox and Hirsch performing what are typically thought of as the standard duties of a mortician, but the two of them do seem rather afraid of whatever’s on the other side of the door they’ve barricaded themselves behind. (Spoiler: It’s probably Jane Doe).

Famed for his distinctive illustrative style and shrewd social satire, children’s author Tomi Ungerer penned Moon Man in 1966 – and it’s a tale that has now been brought to life on the big screen by first-time filmmakers Stephan Schesch and Sarah Clara Weber. Remaining faithful to Ungerer’s distinguishable approach, Moon Man combines a touching story with an enchanting aesthetic, to form a simply delightful animation.
Despite being a great source of inspiration to children amongst the world, the man who lives in the moon is bored and in need of some company. So he decides to hitch a ride down to Earth, though his arrival is not met with the warmest of welcomes by the world’s egotistical, bloodthirsty President, who fears an alien invasion. However despite being exposed to all of the world’s natural beauty, the Moon Man’s disappearance means that children around the world...
