For September: 10 Movie and TV Picks7 of 10
Hold the Dark | Premieres on Netflix, Friday, Sept. 28
Count me as a member of Jeremy Saulnier's cult following, as the Blue Ruin and Green Room director is exploring the relationship between men and violence in ways not seen since Sam Peckinpah. Saulnier's new movie, his first for Netflix, is set in the Alaskan wilderness where the murders of three local children are believed to be caused by a pack of wolves. But we get to see, through the eyes of a naturalist writer played by Jeffrey Wright, that Alexander Skarsgård might be up to a kind of evil that would make his "Big Little Lies" character seem impotent in comparison. — Arno
