The Power of the Dog.

Another Western but this is a good one. Set in the mid 1920s The Power of the Dog is a Western with no guns. There are different weapons, just as deadly. An age-old Western theme, revenge. There's not much to fault, but do pay attention at the beginning. I love the visual clue of the images suggesting that the beginning explains the end, (dialogue) quite brilliant. The performances are all good but Kodi Smit-McPhee steels the show with something extraordinary. Directed by Jane Campion on top form, and the cinematography by Ari Wegner makes every scene an artwork (slight exaggeration but this film looks beautiful). Netflix again make something wonderful.

I might watch it again.
