The Power of the Dog
Netflix, from Wednesday
The movie that brought Cumberbatch, Dunst and other Hollywood heavyweights to New Zealand last year has already been out in select theatres for a couple of weeks, and if you can go and see it on the big screen it’s probably worth it. If not, though, the Jane Campion-directed Western drama, set in 1925 Montana and filmed mostly in Dunedin and Central Otago, is available on Netflix from Wednesday night. It is, according to the majority of reviews so far, the real deal — one of Campion’s best.
