“The Power of the Dog” is as strong as ever. The AFI Awards honoree leads the Chicago Film Critics Association 2021 Awards. Jane Campion’s Western psychodrama took in a total of seven honors including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay. A press release confirmed the news.
Set on a Montana cattle ranch in the 1920s, “The Power of the Dog” sees tensions between two brothers escalating when one of them secretly marries a local widow. The Netflix pic marks Campion’s first feature in over a decade.
