Mystery
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.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
The premiere of 'Knives Out' was one of the biggest surprises of 2019: it was a "whodunit" that, without really re-writing the rules of the genre, delivered an engaging, witty and funny narrative of intrigue and murder. For the sequel, director Rian Johnson follows the path of not fixing what isn't broken, but simply taking what worked in the first installment and making it bigger. 'Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery' now takes detective Benoit Blanc to Greece, where he must investigate a new mystery with even more eccentric suspects. If you liked the first one (or just like mysteries in general), you'll love this Netflix exclusive.
