“Pets” (G) – Bryce Dallas Howard is mostly known for acting in franchises like the “Twilight” saga and “Jurassic World,” but she also doubles as a director, having spearheaded a documentary film called “Dads,” as well as several episodes of “The Mandalorian.” This year, she’s back with another documentary focusing on the furry friends we hold near and dear to our hearts. Starring real people from around the world and their dogs, cats, pigs, goats and birds, this doc showcases the bond that makes our relationships with animals so special and irreplaceable. Premieres April 11. (Disney+)
“Magpie” (R) – Daisy Ridley (of the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy) is captivating as the lead in this neo-noir thriller film, co-starring Shazad Latif (“Star Trek: Discovery”). Don’t let the previous sci-fi credits of these two actors fool you into thinking that they can’t deliver gritty performances; they are incredibly palpable as Annette and Ben (respectively), a couple with two young children who reach a shattering moment within their marriage. When their daughter gets the opportunity to star alongside a popular actress in a major film, Ben chaperones her on set while Annette stays at home with their newborn. But Ben’s priority shifts from watching his daughter to bonding with the actress, leaving Anette’s picture-perfect life to crumble before her. Premieres April 11. (Hulu)

“G20” (R) – Academy Award winner Viola Davis will never stop being a badass as long as the grass is green and the sky is blue, and she continues to prove why with entertaining action films like “G20.” Out on April 10, the film follows U.S. President Danielle Sutton (Davis) as she prepares for the G20 summit in Cape Town, South Africa. Thinking this will be a great experience for her rebel daughter, Serena (Marsai Martin), Danielle brings her entire family to Cape Town with her. Little does she know that an educational experience for her kids does not await them; instead, what awaits is a terrorist plot to hijack the summit. Luckily for them, Danielle’s previous military training comes in handy – very handy! (Amazon Prime Video)
