More than a decade after her previous film, 2nd class math Bright Star, extraordinary filmmaker Jane Campion has unfolded the director's chair again to oversee The Power of the Dog (she wrote the script too). It centers on Phil Burbank, a rancher who uses the power of toxic masculinity to have his way, online tutoring for 1st graders mocking his brother for falling in love. What happens when Phil starts to feel the same ridiculous sensitivities? The Power of the Dog is a mesmeric exercise in the subtle shifts of emotion and power in relationships, emotion that doesn't feel subtle at all within each character. Benedict Cumberbatch, Jesse Plemons and Kirsten Dunst help bring Campion's masterful vision to life. Oscar buzz is in the air.
Welcome!
