Although we all love to sit by the pool or go to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/music-festivals-2023-guide-dates-artists" target="_blank" rel="noopener">concerts</a> once it gets warmer out, sometimes the spring and summer months lead to boredom. L'OFFICIEL has compiled a list of films coming out this May for your viewing pleasure.

We all love a good celebrity documentary, but <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/taylor-swift-ed-sheeran-the-joker-and-the-queen-song-music-video" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ed Sheeran</a> was the last person we'd expect to share his story. As one of the most private public figures, he hasn't really let anyone in on what his life was like before becoming an icon. Sheeran talks us through his own self-discovery and the struggles he experienced in his relationship with his wife. You can watch his docuseries on <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/disney-tv-series-karl-lagerfeld-karl-kaiser" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Disney+</a> this May.
