New Film Releases: April 27-May 3 2018

You can see anything you like this week, so long as it’s Avengers: Infinity War. Actually, that’s not quite true. There’s plenty of stuff for blockbuster naysayers if you’re prepared to look for it. And we’ve done just that so you don’t have to.

Jersey-set psychological thriller Beast opens at the Watershed and Showcase Avonmeads. The former is also showing African gay coming-of-age drama The Wound.

Many cinemas also have previews on Monday of the well-intentioned, unexpectedly controversial Amy Schumer comedy I Feel Pretty. This one’s been condemned by some stern lobby groups in the US for being insufficiently woke (sleep?). See it and judge for yourself.
