"I stink, and I like it," he barks after a day's work. Despite an apparently expansive education, the bitter, sexually-repressed Phil Burbank (Benedict Cumberbatch), whose every word is salt on sensitive skin, revels in the toil and filth of a cattleman's lifestyle. Set in rural Montana during the mid 1920s, this adaptation of an underappreciated Thomas Savage novel hangs around the clash between two different brothers.

While Phil is domineering and puts his trust in manual labour, George has more urbane sensibilities and is softer, kinder.
Phil and George Burbank ( Benedict Cumberbatch and Jesse Plemons) are two rich ranchers. The Power of the Dog is a film that uses its setting, the boundary between the Wild West and the civilised world, to remark upon the nature of masculinity. The genre, with a few exceptions, has mostly been about bravado, duels, retreating world of outlaws and gunslingers, and the taming of the Old West. Adapted from the Thomas Savage novel by Kiwi filmmaker Jane Campion, who is returning to cinema after a hiatus of 12 years, this film is unlike any other western. There is a poetic, ruminative quality about The Power of the Dog.
