American Fiction (2023)
Release Date: May 14
Jeffrey Wright stars in this Oscar-winning film about a novelist who is tired of the Black stereotypes being propagated through mainstream American literature. To prove his point that the establishment is profiting from “Black” entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes, he uses a pen name to write his own outlandish “Black” book with unexpected consequences.

The Blue Angels (2024)
Release Date: May 23
Those with a fear of heights might want to avoid this one but if you’re feeling the need for speed, this new documentary will give you a bit of a thrill, as it puts audiences in the cockpit of a Blue Angel to experience the Navy Elite Flight Demonstration Squadron’s breathtaking manoeuvres.
The Boys in the Boat (2023)
Release Date: May 28
George Clooney directs this 1930s-set story centered on the University of Washington’s rowing team, following them from their Depression-era beginnings to winning gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The movie’s old-fashioned look and feel almost works against it but this is still an inspirational story that hits all the right feel-good notes.
