Snob movie for people who thinks they know about cinema. Behind a artsy apparence and a good cast, Jane Campion tries to hide a slow, boring, meaningless and absurd movie that only gets success stealing 2 hours of your life.

A perfect example of "show don't tell", the movie doesn't explain everything to you, it let's the viewer discover things for himself. A great piece of cinema.

It is a slow yet interesting movie with a surprising ending. My only complaint is that I wished for more insight in the main character’s past, reasons for some reactions and relationship with his brother.

I wonder why this movie is a golden award best picture winner, that's why so many people stop caring about this awards...

A unique, thought-provoking and well-directed family/psychological drama film, with great visuals and splendid performances from cast.

Beware. Boring, artsy, long, and mostly pointless. Kind of movie critics say they like to have artsy cred, but is terrible. It was well acted. That’s it.

Lord have mercy on my soul this was mind numbingly boring and it’s actually making what is left of my brain cells wonder how they’re campaigning for the awards categories that they are.. 2 hours of nothing. Nothing at all. Benedict for Best Actor? Sure, maybe. Best Director + Best Picture? No. Maybe I’m missing something the critics are seeing perhaps.. or perhaps not

I thought it would turn into another Brokeback Mountain. Another cliché of a toxic man being gay. I'm glad the film is not that obvious. It's more subtler than that.
Of course, this being Netflix, this will be criticized for being slow and boring.

Acting is alright I guess... The story is extremely boring, no doubt this was a complete waste of time.
I give it 5/10 only for Cumberbatch's hard solo carry.

The worst part of being so pretentious is giving such a predictable ending.

I am at least a little bit surprised that this film is being mentioned as a possible award winner. Don't get me wrong - I mostly enjoyed the film. However, it just left a bit to be desired. I think my main complaint is that I really didn't sense anything dramatic about the movie. Cumberbatch is excellent as the antagonist and Dunst is excellent as the boy's mother (and Plemons is good at being.... well, Plemons). Towards the end of the movie the music kicks in to tell us that something dramatic is happening or about to happen. But it just felt.... odd.... because nothing dramatic was really happening on screen or in the story. It didn't feel like the drama was earned. Anyway, extra points for an excellent ending.

[Netflix] The film masterfully handles subtext, it has an emotional background that is expressed without the need for dialogue. The filming in New Zealand gives an almost dreamlike aspect to the landscapes of this anti-western, a kind of reverse of the genre. There is a constant tension that is shown in the distorted strings and sepulchral winds of Jonny Greenwood's music.

most of what i want to say about this would count as a spoiler so instead what i'll say is, this movie (and its source material) is unsettling and ominous in a number of ways but once the movie is over and you sit with it for a minute, you'll realize that what felt like twists and unseen motives were all served up to you on a silver platter—which is perhaps the most important theme and what makes it so effective.

also—bunnies do not have a good time in this film. the dog doesn't die though.

Great film! Fantastic acting! Slow burner for sure. If you think you can predict what's about to happen next, ha! Your gladly mistaken. Jane Campion's masterpiece will keep you guessing. Do yourself a favor and watch this film!

What does the Phrase "the power of the dog" mean? Read this interpretation somewhere, and found it to be apt: "The Power of the Dog, the power of the evil man and the evil choice, of corruption over honesty and lawlessness over law."
The original quote that Peter read from the book in the movie : "Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog."

Terrible. Completely disconnected from anything. Over-acting, under-acting... Lousy soundtrack.
