The Power of the Dog

In 1920s Montana, rancher brothers Phil and George Burbank live under the wide, unforgiving sky—Phil, charismatic and cruel; George, quiet and steady. When George marries Rose, bringing her and her teenage son Peter to live on the ranch, Phil’s calculated torment threatens to unravel them all. But as tensions rise, unexpected connections form, and buried truths begin to surface. Spare yet deeply atmospheric, The Power of the Dog is a haunting exploration of masculinity, desire, and the corrosive power of shame.
