5 spectacular films on Prime Video that you can’t miss

Batman (2022), Matt Reeves

Disclosure / Warner Bros.

A young vigilante, still at the beginning of his journey, faces a city steeped in corruption and violence. Obsessed with justice, he tries to balance his desire for revenge with the need to become a symbol of hope. When a serial killer begins leaving enigmas and bodies in his wake, the hero is forced to confront not only the enemies he hunts, but also the shadows within himself. The plot transforms the superhero archetype into a psychological study of trauma, morality and responsibility, revealing that the real battle is fought in the darkness within.

Parasita (2019), Bong Joon-O

Disclosure / Neon

A poor family finds an opportunity for advancement when one of its members is hired to give private lessons to a rich young woman. Little by little, they infiltrate their bosses’ house, taking on different roles, until the social game turns into an unpredictable nightmare. The acid comedy gives way to a modern tragedy about inequality, ambition and morality. In the clash between those who live above and those who survive below, the house becomes a symbol of a divided system, and each step is a trap. The film dismantles, with irony and brutality, the myth of meritocracy and class coexistence.

Gone Girl (2014), David Fincher

Disclosure / 20th Century Studios

A man becomes the main suspect in the disappearance of his wife, a seemingly perfect woman, who mysteriously disappears on their wedding anniversary. The investigation turns the couple’s lives into a media spectacle, revealing secrets, manipulations and psychological games that distort the perception of truth. Between flashbacks and contradictory versions, the narrative questions the appearances of love and the destructive power of the public image. Suspense is built on constant doubt: who is lying, who is being deceived — and how far someone will go to maintain control of a story.

O Lobo de Wall Street (2013), Martin Scorsese

Mary Cybulski / Paramount Pictures

An ambitious broker turns financial manipulation into a spectacle and builds an empire based on excess, fraud and moral decay. Surrounded by luxury and debauchery, he believes he has reached the top of the world—until he realizes that success is just another form of prison. The frenetic narrative mixes humor and despair, showing capitalism in its most savage and grotesque form. Between parties, drugs and self-pitying speeches, the character reveals the emptiness of a system driven by the insatiable desire for power. Laughter comes, but with the bitter taste of truth.

We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011), Lynne Ramsay

Disclosure / BBC Films

A mother tries to rebuild her life after a violent act committed by her son, while revisiting, in fragments, the years that preceded the tragedy. The narrative alternates between the present and the past, exposing the distorted love, guilt and incommunicability between mother and son. The tension grows not through explicit brutality, but through silence, restrained gestures and doubt: to what extent is evil innate, and how much of it is shaped by the environment? The film is a harrowing portrait of motherhood and fear, showing how horror can be born within the home, without warning and without redemption.
