Hostiles

Goes without saying the acting is great in Hostiles.  You've got Christian Bale, Wes Studi, and Rosamund Pike among other equally riveting actors.  Like The Revenant, it's a visually stunning film with a beautiful landscape that plunges into the realities of the early American indigenous peoples and the inequalities and complexities.  Films like this that look at our past to understand our present situation, are very meaningful.  In doing that also, Hostiles elevates the the western genre to something simultaneously beautiful, complex, soul searching, and with some measure of hope.
