Love and Mercy<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"p02scsj8\"<\/p>\n

The Hollywood Reporter called it \u201ca deeply satisfying pop biopic\u201d: Love and Mercy is a profile of The Beach Boys\u2019 Brian Wilson from director Bill Pohlad (producer of 12 Years a Slave and Brokeback Mountain). The action moves back and forth between Wilson\u2019s early career in the 1960s (when he\u2019s played by Paul Dano) and 20 years later, after his descent into depression (John Cusack).<\/p>\n

In his five-star review from the Toronto Film Festival, BBC Culture film critic Owen Gleiberman said of Dano\u2019s performance: \u201cthis isn\u2019t just acting \u2013 it\u2019s channelling of a very high order\u201d while Cusack gives \u201ca richly subtle and moving performance\u201d. Released 4 June in Israel, 5 June in the US, 11 June in Germany and 26 June in Turkey. (Credit: Roadside Attractions)<\/p>\n

Inside Out<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"p02scssx\"<\/p>\n

Pixar\u2019s latest animation takes a look inside the mind of an 11-year-old girl named Riley and the five sprites that guide her: Joy, Anger, Sadness, Fear and Disgust. The director Pete Docter (Monsters Inc) \u2013 who also co-wrote the Toy Story films and Wall-E \u2013 ramps up the jokes to counter what is often dark material. BBC Culture film critic Nicholas Barber, who reviewed the film at the Cannes Film Festival called it \u201ca moving, challenging, and quite profound coming-of-age story.\u201d Released 18 June in Brazil, Australia, Hungary and Portugal and 19 June in Canada, Turkey and the US.

Eden<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"p02scsft\"<\/p>\n

The fourth film from French director Mia Hansen-L\u00f8ve, centres on the youth of Paul Vall\u00e9e (F\u00e9lix de Givry), an aspiring writer whose passion for garage house music leads him to become a DJ and promoter. Set in the sex-drugs-and-dance-music scene of early \u201890s Paris, Eden features some real-life characters: among the disparate group of artists, musicians and clubbers who surround Paul are a pair of DJs called Thomas and Guy-Manuel (who go on to achieve global acclaim as Daft Punk). The Guardian\u2019s Paul MacInnes praised Eden \u2013 which appeared at the Toronto Film Festival \u2013 as \u201can acutely observed study of dance music and its attendant lifestyle\u201d. Released 29 May in Poland, 19 June in the US. (Credit: CG Cinema)<\/p>\n

Hungry Hearts<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"p02scs9b\"<\/p>\n

Starring the ubiquitous Adam Driver in a role that won him the top actor award at the Toronto Film Festival, Hungry Hearts at first appears to be a straightforward love story about a couple who fall in love and have a baby. But it swiftly descends into a dark, gripping psychological thriller in what BBC Culture\u2019s Owen Gleiberman described as \u201ca nightmare vision of attachment parenting\u201d. Released 5 June in the US. (Credit: IFC Films)<\/p>\n

Entourage<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"p02scshf\"<\/p>\n

A much-anticipated big-screen adaptation of the popular TV drama that ran for eight seasons between 2004-11 on HBO, Entourage stars Adrian Grenier as Vincent Chase, a young A-list movie star making it in Hollywood. It is loosely based on the early life of Mark Wahlberg (who was an executive producer on the TV series and appears in the film) along with his cohort of childhood friends from New York City. Released 3 June in the US, Canada, Australia and Singapore, 11 June in Croatia, Netherlands and Serbia and 19 June in the UK, Norway and Ireland. (Credit: Warner Bros)<\/p>\n

Jurassic World<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"p02scscz\"<\/p>\n

Jurassic Park, Stephen Spielberg\u2019s adaptation of a Michael Crichton novel became one of the most successful movies ever made. Twenty-two years later, the fourth part of the franchise finally pops up: the island of Nubar has now become a full-on dinosaur theme park, where a new attraction designed to address declining visitor numbers results in disaster. But without Spielberg\u2019s direction (he\u2019s an executive producer) will the fourth in the series be any good? Either way, Jurassic World is still destined to be a commercial \u2013 if not critical \u2013 hit:it\u2019s on track to be the third movie this year to make $100 million in its first week (along with Furious 7 and Avengers: Age of Ultron). Released 10 June in China, France and Sweden, 11 June in the UK, Greece and Thailand and 12 June in Spain, the US, Turkey and South Africa. (Credit: Universal Pictures)<\/p>\n

Spy<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"p02scs7x\"<\/p>\n

A new comedy from Paul Feig, the director of Bridesmaids who is also slated for the new Peanuts and Ghostbusters films. Melissa McCarthy stars as an unassuming CIA operative who must go undercover to expose a deadly arms dealer played by Rose Byrne. McCarthy\u2019s co-stars include Jason Statham and Jude Law, with turns from Miranda Hart, Allison Janney and 50 Cent. Variety described the movie as \u201can uproarious blast of globe-trotting action-comedy delirium\u201d. Released 4 June in Germany, Russia, Canada and the UK and 5 June in the US, South Africa and India. (Credit: 20th Century Fox)<\/p>\n

Manglehorn<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"p02scs6f\"<\/p>\n

Al Pacino is AJ Manglehorn, a reclusive locksmith in small-town Texas who spends his days caring for his cat and pining over a lost love. Holly Hunter co-stars as Dawn, a bank teller who takes an interest in the eccentric loner. David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express) directed the film, which featured in both the Venice and Toronto Film Festival programmes. Reviews have been mixed, ranging from The Guardian\u2019s Xan Brooks, who described Mangelhorn as \u201ca beguiling, minor-key study of the lion in winter\u201d to The Hollywood Reporter\u2019s David Rooney, who called it \u201cpsychologically crude\u201d. Released 3 June in France and 19 June in the US. (IFC Films)<\/p>\n
