Charismatic rancher Phil Burbank inspires fear and awe in those around him. When his brother brings home a new wife and her son, Phil torments them until he finds himself exposed to the possibility of love.
WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING:
“Benedict Cumberbatch and Jane Campion, take a bow. The pair have united to deliver an indecently powerful western that is instantly, on day two of the Venice Film Festival, the movie to beat for the festival’s prestigious Golden Lion award, and indeed the frontrunner at next year’s Oscars... But what they’ve done here is nothing short of extraordinary.”
★★★★★ - The Times
“It's a film which shimmers with intelligence, and if the plot isn't clear until the very
last scene, well, it's worth the wait. When that scene arrives, the purpose of every
previous scene snaps into sharp focus, leaving you with the urge to go back to the beginning and watch the whole thing again.”
