The Power of the Dog (12A) at Number 8, Pershore
Benedict Cumberbatch gives a magnificent performance in this searing western set in early 1920s Montana.

Written and directed by Academy Award winner, Jane Campion (The Piano, The Top of the Lake) Power of the Dog is exquisitely shot, with beautiful landscapes, compelling performances, and a powerful and complex story.
