READ IT FIRST


FILM


Sally Rooney’s best-selling


Normal People, the novel that


has been on the nightstand


of every book lover since its


2018 debut, gets the Hulu


treatment this month: New-


comers Daisy Edgar-Jones


and Paul Mescal are exactly


who we imagined as the


on-screen actualization of


complicated on-again,


off-again couple Marianne


and Connell. Cancel all


plans, stock up on tissues,


and prepare to binge watch


this modern, heartbreaking


coming-of-age love


story, starting April 29.


Feminine Mystique


ART


On April 5, MoMA PS1 presents the first New York exhibition


of the French-American artist and activist Niki de Saint Phalle,


whose exuberant paintings and sculptures often expressed


the social-political ethos of the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s. (Favorite


topics included women’s rights and climate change.) With


over 100 works, the retrospective is an ode to her activism art.


It’s Their Time


FILM


Come for badass female leads, stay for ... badass female leads:
Ana de Armas (you last saw her in Knives Out, in a role that nabbed

her a Golden Globe nom) and Lashana Lynch (who played Captain


Marvel’s wingwoman in the 2019 eponymous action flick) explode
onto the big screen in the latest James Bond installment, not as 007’s

love interests but as secret agents who are key to his mission.
No Time to Die (United Artists Releasing) busts into theaters April 10.

SWEET REVENGE


FILM


Carey Mulligan is the feminist vigilante you never


knew you needed in Promising Young Woman (April


17, Focus Features). She stars as Cassie, a med-


school dropout seeking vengeance on men who prey


on women at bars. Mulligan masterfully toes the line


between slightly unhinged and #MeToo watchdog


in this highly stylized, totally unapologetic Sundance


film, directed by Killing Eve’s Emerald Fennell.
