The Power of the Dog is a 2021 western drama film written and directed by Jane Campion, based on the 1967 novel of the same name by Thomas Savage. The film stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Thomasin McKenzie, Genevieve Lemon, Keith Carradine, and Frances Conroy. The film is an international co-production between Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

The Power of the Dog had its world premiere at the 78th Venice International Film Festival on September 2, 2021, where Campion won the Silver Lion for Best Direction, and is scheduled to be released in a limited release on November 17, 2021, prior to streaming on Netflix on December 1, 2021. The film received widespread critical acclaim, with particular praise towards Campion's screenplay and direction, the performances of the cast (particularly Cumberbatch, Dunst, Plemons and Smit-McPhee), the cinematography and Jonny Greenwood's score.

I really liked this and I'm not into the Western genre usually. The performances are great across the board and the story is complex and interesting. From a technical standpoint this is also fantastic - gorgeous cinematography and an impressive score. B+

What a drag. This movie should have been a comedy. As a Serious Drama Movie it is just so boring and I hated all the characters.

Worst of all - there weren't any dogs.

Excellent movie. This is an example of an ending taking it to an entirely different level and making everything that happened up to that point more important and turns it from just a cerebral character study to something of a western version of a gothic thriller. The performances were great across the board with Dunst standing out other than Cumberbatch, and the buildings and costumes etc., cinematography and Greenwood's score is exquisite.

This movie in retrospect was pretty boring.
