Los crímenes de la academia (2022)★ 7.0/10

O ritmo é muito lento mas compensa pelo bom roteiro (com reviravolta surpreendente no final), ótima ambientação, bom figurino e boas atuações de Bale e Harry Melling. Uma grata surpresa foi ver Robert Duvall, com seu olhar enigmático e expressão forte, ainda atuando aos 91 anos, impressionante o carisma deste ótimo ator.

Full disclosure: “The Pale Blue Eye,” written and directed by Scott Cooper and starring his frequent collaborator Christian Bale, set in New York’s more-rugged-than-today Hudson Valley in 1830, is thoroughly suffused with bleak mid-winterness. Masanobu Takayanagi’s cinematography sometimes reproduces a gorgeous kind of grayscale, broken up by flashes of blue water and the blue uniforms of the cadets of the West Point Military Academy, the then-fledgling institution at which much of the story’s action is set.
