So your argument is that Cumberbatch doesn’t get away with being a prick.

re: The Power of the Dog (in 5 parts)
Damn, they're really making progress on that rope! One more 25 minute chunk to go. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
I've been out of grad school too long to properly articulate this, but I'm enjoying the way this movie sets up certain expectations only to immediately subvert or deconstruct them. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but within the first 30 minutes you think you have the basic plot figured out based on the way the characters behave, but then they start adding layers. I guess that's true of most movies, but I guess I didn't expect it from a western.
