This year’s Best Picture contenders center Hollywood’s favorite topics: power, money, and men.
Gina Prince-Bythewood’s semi-historical epic about a female general, played by Viola Davis, defending her kingdom and ending a brutal practice of supplying Portuguese slavers with human capital. The women of war in Ryan Coogler’sare similarly formidable, bereft of their former leader, who was played by the late Chadwick Boseman, but finding new wells of resilience and determination in their banding together.
Östlund doesn’t really turn his lacerating gaze on himself, but some other filmmakers did this year. James Gray investigates his family’s complicity in America’s racist order ina rueful and somber piece that vaguely reflects a fraught period in Gray’s own adolescence. Sure, this family—Jewish and middle-class in early 1980s Queens—isn’t at the top of the pecking order, but they work in subtle, and perhaps subconscious, ways to keep some people beneath them.
