The power of the dog - Jane Campion (2021)

A disappointment. I thought the book was really powerful and engaging, but the film didn't manage to bring to life any of the tensions that made the book work. Maybe it was the casting (although I think Kirsten Dunst did a fine job and Jesse Plemons is dependable as always) or just Campion's inability to convey in pictures something I thought was quite filmic. Even the period setting seemed off, too modern and clean for what was supposed to be the rugged outback. 6/10
