he Power of the Dog (2021) is a psychological drama directed by Jane Campion, based on the novel by Thomas Savage. Set in 1920s Montana, it tells the story of two brothers, Phil (Benedict Cumberbatch) and George Burbank (Jesse Plemons), who run a successful ranch. When George marries a widow, Rose (Kirsten Dunst), Phil’s resentment grows, particularly toward Rose’s son, Peter (Kodi Smit-McPhee). As tension builds, Phil’s cruelty masks deeper secrets, and the film explores themes of masculinity, jealousy, and repressed desires. The film is known for its stunning cinematography, slow-building tension, and complex character dynamics.
