The Power of the Dog

(Netflix) A sadist. That is how I can describe Benedict Cumberbatch’s role on

The Power of the Dog! And he is so brilliant at it and if he gets all the awards during this awards season, I wouldn’t be surprised. He plays a domineering rancher who responds with mocking cruelty when his brother brings home a new wife and her son, until the unexpected comes to pass. A must-watch.
