Why watch this film?
When it comes to movies about gangsters and other real-life decadent criminals, the obligatory reference is Martin Scorsese, with films like 'Goodfellas' or even 'The Wolf of Wall Street'. However, 'Black Mass' is a great addition to this select list, with a script based on the book 'Black Mass: The True Story of an Unholy Alliance between the FBI and the Irish Mob' written by Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill, about the gangster reign of the infamous James "Whitey" Bulger. Obviously, the main attraction is - questionable makeup aside - Johnny Depp's brutal performance, in one of his most shocking and underrated roles of his career. However, there's a lot to see here, from a well-told police drama to a fabulous cast that includes Benedict Cumberbatch, Dakota Johnson, Kevin Bacon, Corey Stoll and Jesse Plemons.

Hostiles
'Hostiles' marks Christian Bale's return to westerns, which he shone in with 'The Outlaw Josey Wales'. Here he plays a legendary Army officer who must escort a group of people with their own issues across the harsh Old West. The result is a chaotic, brutal, and gritty film, as a good western should be – though with dialogue that could have used some polish.

Antlers
"Antlers" is a movie where the horror element serves as a vehicle to discuss two distinct themes. The first is trauma, expressed through its main character, the teacher played by Keri Russell ("Planet of the Apes: The Confrontation"), who sees in her student traces of abuse and neglect that remind her of her own dark past. The second theme is local folk mythology - the feature film explores the Wendigo, a supernatural creature of the forests of northern United States and Canada, a wild spirit that originates from explorers lost in the forest who have renounced their own humanity. The narrative prevents the film from exploring the full potential of its themes, but it must be noted the quality of the atmosphere that offers a deep immersion, as well as the special effects, which deliver a terrifying creature and reveal it little by little to maintain suspense around its figure. The performances are also excellent, with a highlight for the young actor Jeremy Thomas. It is a very well constructed and interesting horror movie, although there was room to shine even more.

The Pale Blue Eye
Directed by Scott Cooper ("Dark Waters"), "The Pale Blue Eye" is a period thriller with elements of horror, exclusive to Netflix, based on Louis Bayard's homonymous novel. The plot follows a weary detective (Christian Bale) who must investigate a gruesome crime at a military academy: a cadet was found hanged with his heart removed. To solve the mystery, he counts on another recruit, who turns out to be none other than a young Edgar Allan Poe (Harry Melling, known as Dudley in the Harry Potter films). The pace of the film is uneven, partly due to a strict fidelity to the novel. However, the performances are wonderful (with other big names such as Gillian Anderson, Toby Jones and Lucy Boynton), and director Scott Cooper manages to create a sinister and intriguing atmosphere that does not leave us throughout the movie.

The Peasants
The Peasants is an animated film by the same directors of Loving Vincent, using the same innovative technique, which could be described as "oil-painted rotoscopy". Based on the Nobel Prize-winning novel The Peasants (1904) by Władysław Reymont, it's a tale of desire and revenge told in four episodes, one for each season of the year. The story, set in Poland at the turn of the 20th century, follows a young peasant woman who wreaks havoc by marrying an older, wealthy man, whose son also desires her, despite being married. It is a powerful and bleak, although conventional tale about violence and misogyny, somewhat overshadowed by its beautiful and prodigious visual execution.
