Review of The Power of the Dog (2021) by Crb — 19 Dec 2021
Visually astonishing, with a soundtrack that gives an uneasiness that puts you in a state of constant expectation of the dread to come, "Power of the dog" is a western where death comes not from a bullet but from a cold calculated mind.
It start with on of the main characters saying he need to protect his mother and ends a perfect loop with him doing jus so. The best scene of the movie shows Pete and Phill in the bard, Phill working on the rope he was crafting for Pete, and Pete subtly gaining the upper hand though crafted small gestures and at first innocents questions and becoming the tormentor after so long being the one tormented in the relationship between the two.
While the movie does not have a plot filled with events, it's strength lies in the character development and arch. What happens is mostly in their minds and souls and is perfectly portrayed by the acting and the camera that at times seems to put you right in the midst of their angst.
