US actor Oscar Isaac starred in "The Card Counter", a movie about a man who who took part in torture and prisoner abuse in Abu Ghraib. And Jane Campion's Western "The Power of the Dog" — starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst — focuses on two feuding brothers on a Montana ranch in the 1920s and deals with toxic masculinity, repressed homosexuality, jealousy, and addiction. Campion won the award for best director.
