The Power of the Dog Pictures - Rotten Tomatoes

The Power of the Dog, Jane Campion’s Montana-set drama starring Benedict Cumberbatch as a threatening rancher, is a superb film.  Campion has now won the Oscar for best director at the 94th Academy Awards.  She becomes the third woman to win the award, after Chloé Zhao in 2021 and Kathryn Bigelow in 2010.

Campion last won an Oscar in 1994 for The Piano, which began its journey in Cannes, where it won the Palme d’Or.
