Oh my goodness, Power of the Dog on Netflix

Haven't seen a new movie this deceptively delicious in a long, long time lol. Oh my goodness

1. Yes, this movie is great for so many reasons.

2. Wasn't familiar with Savages' book it was based on

I'm half afraid to read it now. My partner said the movie was like a Hitchcockian spaghetti western directed by Kubrick. But she's full blown twisted. Regardless, very well done, right up my ally.

3. It was a western unlike any other. You didn't know what was happening

until the very end, or even why it was called the Power of the Dog. It was an anti-western, turning around western conventions of masculinity. It deconstructed themes that are current today and would be relevant to any western but are never explored. I don't know how different that was to the book, but the storytelling on film was genius.

4. Yup. And as a bonus it upset a lot of bigots.

5. Started off slow and proceeded to get slower! Nt

6. I wish I could watch it again

7. No one I know recommended it so it's a hard pass for me.

Same for Liquorice Pizza or whatever the hell its called.

8. Also, I would add Tick Tick Boom...

I tried it twice and just couldn't get into it.

9. We watched it. It was OK. Was not wowed by it or any or the actors in it.
