"The Power of the Dog" in itself is simply a character piece. It provides a pungent setting, where audiences can truly feel themselves in within the first 30 minutes. After that, it is journey taken with Phil and the rest of the characters. It is slow, but well paced. Each scene is crafted so that something new is shown about the characters and their relationship with each other. Albeit, as the film progresses, there is a slight uncomfortableness that crawls through the scenes. For this reason, although "The Power of the Dog" delivers a great character story, it at sometimes turns its audiences off from more deeply engaging with its plot.
