Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as lovers in crisis, a sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada,” and a documentary about the Chernobyl disaster — we're talking about the most interesting films of April.
“Love doesn't love”
Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, actors capable of extreme candor and emotional precision, play a couple in love in A24's new drama, which centers on young people whose seemingly perfect relationship is threatened on the eve of their wedding.
A light romantic story gradually turns into a psychological detective of feelings: unexpected confessions and hidden facts from the past make them question everything they knew about each other. In the end, it is not just a story about a crisis of trust, but an intellectual drama about the limits of intimacy – and how much we are willing to let another person into the darkest corners of our souls.

“Decay”
On the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl accident, “Decay” is being released – the first feature film about the disaster, shot in 1990. On the eve of the accident, journalist Oleksandr Zhuravlev returns to Kyiv, to his family. But the very next day, the usual course of life collapses – the story is divided into “before” and “after”. The scale and details of the tragedy are kept silent, but Oleksandr tries to get to the bottom of the truth. Zhuravlev is a hero of his post-Soviet time, focused on finding the truth. Over time, this perspective will change: post-accident heroism will give way to the theme of national sacrifice.
“The Devil Wears Prada”
Miranda and Andrea are back! At the end of April, we can expect the return of our favorite heroines from the cult film “The Devil Wears Prada 2”. The second part, which appears exactly 20 years after the first, tells the story of the return of Andy – Anne Hathaway's heroine, who once again finds herself next to Miranda Priestly, the tough and uncompromising editor-in-chief of Runway, at a time of profound changes in the media industry.
Miranda struggles to keep the magazine alive in a digital environment where the very existence of the magazine is under threat. Another important plot line is the return of Emily, played by Emily Blunt: now she heads the luxury brand and controls the advertising budgets on which the future of Runway depends.
