The Power of the Dog (2021)

Excellent movie, great cast and very powerful performances. Screenplay extremely well crafted . And all this delivered in a visually stunning manner, with amazing Montana landscapes and an extremely careful set decoration and wardrobe. Slowburn, but the tension and the temperature keep growing until a powerful and surprising conclusion sets in. First rate.

Jane Campeon gathered an amazing group of people to film and produce a great movie. He even messed with our nostalgia a little bit by having Kristen Dunst running around yeling Peter!

The movie is excellent, an amazing achievement by the cast&crew. However, I would like to ask you about the Title. What is this bible verse all about ? First, it shows up fairly quickly on the screen and I could not let it sink in. Then, I looked it up and searched for a couple of interpretations. Everything I got was so convoluted - even relating it to other bible verses, that I was not left with a satisfying explanation of what "the power of the dog" really is…
