The Power of the Dog
Why this pick
Its austere Western imagery and psychologically loaded silences echo The Homesman's interest in loneliness, gendered power, and the damage concealed beneath frontier stoicism.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Mary Bee Cuddy is a 31-year-old spinster from New York, a former teacher who journeyed to the Midwest for more opportunity. She is an active member of the small farming community of Loup in the Nebraska Territory, and has significant financial prospects and sizable land ownership. She seems strong and independent, but suffers from depression and feels isolated. She makes dinner for her neighbor Bob Giffen, and sings to him, but when she proposes he turns her down saying she is "plain, and too bossy"; he then leaves to find a wife back east.
