''The Power of the Dog' is Campion’s first feature in the 11 years since 'Bright Star' and it marks a triumphant return to the form, a nervy gamble that becomes a reassertion of her mastery.'
Phil Burbank is a 1920s rancher, a born rider of horses and a skilled leader of men. He is also a sadist, a master of psychological abuse and, as played by a monstrous, mesmerizing Benedict Cumberbatch, one of the scariest characters you may encounter in a movie this year. For all that, he may be less scary than he is proud, reveling in his dominion over the land and its creatures great and small.
At first glance, Phil and his brother, George , are a model of sibling functionality, running their ranch in the absence of their city-dwelling parents . Their differences are pronounced and, for the most part, complementary.
Its most striking landscapes may be the faces of its four extraordinary actors. The camera lingers on the mix of caution and reserve at play in Smit-McPhee’s gaunt, delicate features, which can hide quite a lot, and also the mix of decency and helplessness in Plemons’ softer visage, which here hides almost nothing.
It’s that near-tactile attention to detail that makes Campion’s signature so distinct, especially in a genre more inclined toward big-picture sweep.
