  • THE POWER OF THE DOG (no spoilers)

    From moviePig@21:1/5 to All on Fri Dec 24 23:37:01 2021
    In 1925 Montana, dark family drama is afoot at the Burbank ranch when
    the eldest son takes a wife with a grown son of her own. Director Jane Campion's exquisite craftsmanship gives THE POWER OF THE DOG (shot in
    New Zealand) a look and style that nearly overpowers its sinister plot.
    Well recommended.

    Huh? What "sinister plot"?

    It's the phrase I chose to dissuade expectations of, say, SHANE.

    That was my big expectation. Little kid running around screaming a name. Annoying little shit.

    Yes, Orson Welles lamenting for "Rosebud" was even worse, right?
