They say April showers bring May flowers, but the main deluge this month seems to be facial hair on dudes in streaming movies.

Tom Hardy and Jude Law are rocking great 'staches in a couple of action movies. Ralph Fiennes' beard is definitely epic as Odysseus. And Christopher Abbott turns into a werewolf, so he's furry to the max. All these guys, and some high-profile women, star in a new crop of flicks now available on your favorite streaming service, from Netflix and Max to Prime Video and Hulu. There are theatrical releases finally coming home, like the Nicole Kidman erotic thriller "Babygirl," but also original fare such as Viola Davis' presidential action movie "G20."
