Director: Jane Campion. Cast: Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons, Kodi Smit-McPhee. 124 min. Western/Drama.
- The director of Piano is back, again with a story about people with unrequited love, hidden by intense anger - this time in the setting of a Montana ranch in 1925.
- Cumberbatch, in a career-defining performance, plays a domineering rancher whose mellow younger brother brings home a suicidal wife and her creepily silent teenage son - and the older brother is suspicious she's just here for the money. The tense atmosphere is ready for explosion any moment.
- This is a movie you need to pay attention. Miss a line of dialogue, a character gesture, or a connection between two scenes, and you will miss a big chunk of story; and the slow pace of the movie heightens that possibility. A film that should be more interesting on a second viewing.
- If there's only one takeaway, it's the cinematography. Some panoramic shots will leave you breathless. The larger the screen, the better.
