The 7 Indie Films You Must See This April "To The Wonder" From Terrence Malick and Danny Boyle to Angela Davis and Matthew McConaughey, the specialty market is offering up an awesome mix of films for the first full month of Spring 2013. Check out Indiewire's picks for the month's 7 best options below. Though do head over to the full month's calendar as well, as there are plenty more worthy films (including studio offerings -- is it just us or does "Oblivion" have a lot of potential?) that didn't end up making this list. 1. To The Wonder (April 12) Director: Terrence Malick Cast: Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Olga Kurylenko, Javier Bardem Distributor: Magnolia Current Criticwire average: B- (see all grades) Why Is It a "Must See"? Any Terrence Malick film -- even perhaps his most tepidly received -- is inarguably an event, thus putting this month's theatrical release of "To The Wonder" atop this list. Malick's sixth feature film and first to be set in a contemporary setting (or made within five years of another Malick film, for that matter), "Wonder" premiered at Venice last year before being picked up by Magnolia. Starring Ben Affleck, Olga Kurylenko, Rachel McAdams, and Javier Bardem, the film follows an American (Affleck) who reconnects with a woman from his hometown (McAdams) after his relationship with a European woman (Kurylenko) falls apart. In his review, Indiewire's Eric Kohn calls the actors "props in a moving picture book that keeps fluttering by, the stars of 'To the Wonder' are at the mercy of Malick's greater tapestry." Not that that's unexpected, or a bad thing. Check out the film's trailer below: 2. Mud (April 26) Director: Jeff Nichols Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Michael Shannon, Tye Sheridan Distributor: Lionsgate/Roadside Attractions Current Criticwire average: B+ (see all grades) Why Is It a "Must See"? Coming off a year that saw the release of a quartet of generally acclaimed (and all very different) performances ("Killer Joe," "Bernie," "Magic Mike" and "The Paperboy"), Matthew McConaughey kicks off what should likely be another prolific year (he has three films and an HBO series on tap) with Jeff Nichols' "Mud." The film -- which premiered at Cannes almost a year ago -- could have been part of the actor's impressive 2012 CV but Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions opted to hold it until this month, where hopefully it will get the attention it deserves. The follow-up to Nichols' "Take Shelter," the film stars McConaughey as a fugitive who becomes friends with two Arkansas teenagers. Back in Cannes, Nichols said the film "moves unlike anything else I've made."
