I've been watching the hell out of the Criterion Channel since its launch about a month ago, and I'm delighted to see that for May, it's bringing four of Portland filmmaker Kelly Reichardt's films together, along with a master class with Reichardt in conversation with film critic April Wolfe. I'll likely be sobbing my way through "Wendy and Lucy" sometime this month, and I've actually never seen "River of Grass," so I'll be checking that off my list. There are also four films from the deeply imaginative Anna Biller, including "The Love Witch" and "Viva." (Also, if you're not in L.A. for the New Beverly's treasure trove of May screenings directed by women, don't sleep on Claudia Weill's "Girlfriends.")

Elsewhere, highlights include Catherine Hardwicke's brutal but excellent coming-of-age drama "Thirteen" (on Hulu on May 1); Amy Poehler's directorial debut, "Wine Country" (on Netflix on May 10); "Always Be My Maybe," the Nahnatchka Khan–directed romantic comedy starring Ali Wong (on Netflix May 31); Jenn Wexler's fun, punky horror film, "The Ranger" (on Shudder on May 1); Spanish director Gabriela Tagliavini's road trip comedy "A Pesar de Todo" (on Netflix on May 3); and Léa Pool's private boarding school–set drama "Lost and Delirious" (on Amazon Prime on May 31). Check the regularly updated master list to search all of the platforms by director! There are over 500 films and counting, and the list features directors from over 30 countries.
