14 Upcoming Movies That Will Definitely Make You Cry
Farewell, Princess Leia.
One of the most rewarding things about going to the cinema is getting a cathartic, emotional release from a poignant movie that, in one way or another, says something relatable about the human condition.
Though many films tug at the heart-strings a little too aggressively and end up leaving audiences cold, these upcoming movies certainly have the dramatic potential to leave viewers insisting they've just got something in both of their eyes.
From incredible true stories about overcoming tremendous odds to universal tales about life and love, and a certain upcoming cinematic farewell to a beloved, departed movie icon, these upcoming movies should effortlessly have audiences fighting back tears unless something goes very, very wrong in post-production.
That's not to speak of how genuinely good each movie will actually be, because plenty of bad movies have the ability to make people cry, but at the very least these 14 films are sure to provoke an intense emotional response...
14. Stronger
Release Date: September 22
The Plot: Jeff Bauman (Jake Gyllenhaal) loses his legs in the 2011 Boston Marathon bombing, and with the help of his girlfriend Erin (Tatiana Maslany), must learn to walk again and regain his joy for life.
Why You'll Cry: From the trailer released to date, Stronger looks like an emotionally powerful depiction of one man's indefatigable spirit, fired home by an ensemble cast of world-class actors.
Director David Gordon Green (Joe) can be fantastic with the right script, and Jeff's tumultuous road to walking again is sure to have audiences wiping the tears away when he finally does. Expect soggy eyes and a string of Oscar noms in its future.
