Extremely layered film with stunning performances

9/10

"Is "The Power of the dog" the best movie I've seen in years? Yes, it is! The film is a mesmerizing mix of absolutely brilliant acting, a fantastic script, carefully unfolding all the layers, and beautiful photography. Jane Campion created an Oscar contender which simply can not be overlooked. The story and characters crawl under the skin of the viewer and leave you thinking about the story even 24 hours after you finished this masterpiece. Is it slow? Yes it is. Campion and her cast take their time to unfold all the layers, but man....what a not to be missed treat this one is..."

💡 Did You Know?

Kirsten Dunst worked very hard to learn the piano piece she plays on-screen. She had originally mastered two musical pieces, but one was cut from the final release, much to her chagrin.
