“I don’t think she’s a bad mother, Leda. I would never judge her as that. I actually think she’s an incredible mother. What she gives to her daughters is to cut the cord of repression,” Buckley says of her Leda, a young mother juggling academia and two children who flirts with a possible infidelity — and a life outside her one as a wife and mom. “Her sexuality and hunger for that part of herself was really important, and so I felt excited about stepping into that and owning it....

Ah, what a difference a face makes. After briefly glimpsing Pedro Pascal sans helmet in the Season 1 finale, the stage was set for more — more unshielded Pascal, more questions about a man permanently encased in armor styling his mustache just so, but most importantly, more emotions. For all the effects wizardry and intense action offered by Disney’s semi-live-action Friday morning cartoon, “The Mandalorian’s” strongest emotional connection is controlled by a nonverbal puppet....

Sixty years later, the Netflix documentary “The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes” uncovers new details about the night that Monroe allegedly overdosed on drugs at the age of 36. In 1992, Monroe’s case was reopened after KTLA’s “The Marilyn Files” aired on TV. Netflix’s “The Unheard Tapes” premieres April 27, and no conspiracy theory or Kennedy connection is left unturned. The interviews from the 1992 investigation have never been heard until now....

Set (and shot) mostly on the remote island of Monhegan, just off the coast of Maine, Eaton’s film conjures both a place and a people. Mostly, there is Olivia (Eaton), the only grandchild and last living family member of Lionel (Harris Yulin), a beloved former doctor who has carved out a safe, quiet life for the duo among caring friends (including a warm turn from Frankie Faison, the pair’s lawyer and best friend)....

Now, Oscilloscope Laboratories will open the film April 15 in New York exclusively at Film at Lincoln Center, followed by a Los Angeles opening April 29. Exclusively on IndieWire, you can watch the trailer for the film below ahead of its stateside release. The film centers on Luciano (Gabriele Silli), a meandering outcast in a far-off, late-19th-century Italian village. His life is marred by all manner of conflict, from the dangers of drink to forbidden love, as well as unrest with the prince of the region regarding passage through a certain ancient gateway....

“Summer” opens on Sam (Jude Law), a husband and father who’s on a solo, sorrowful excursion in the boonies of Great Britain. Near the coast, he comes across a couple of kids playing in the woods — except they’re not playing. One nearly dies before Sam intervenes, and he drives the recovering teenager home, to her small community on the island of Osea. There, things start to get weird. Cell phone reception is spotty....

“He called me one day and said, ‘I want to do this little movie, it’s called ‘The Tragedy of Macbeth,’” Delbonnel told Indiewire in a recent interview. “I don’t want to shoot a play, I want it to be a movie — but I’m interested in exploring the theatricality, and what is theater. And I don’t want to go to Scotland, I want to shoot everything on a stage.” Over the course of a year of discussions and planning, Delbonnel realized that Shakespeare’s ideas and dialogue were so complex and beautiful that the simplest possible form would be ideal to express them; he adopted the idea that the film would be the cinematic equivalent of a haiku, where a whole world is conveyed in a few sentences....
