Campion’s fame and success are not secrets. Over the years, she has won awards and the hearts of fans everywhere. At the moment, everyone is talking about her new film, The Power of the Dog. 

Written and directed by Campion, The Power of the Dog unpacks a complex and compelling story unfolding amongst a community of ranchers in Montana.

Kirsten Dunst, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Kodi Smit-McPhee are among the talented actors cast in the Netflix film. With 94% on Rotten Tomatoes, The Power of the Dog seems worth the watch.  

Not to mention, fellow respected director Martin Scorsese shared some moving words about Campion. As Scorsese put it, “My admiration has only increased over the years. I wish she would make more pictures, but every one that you do get to make really counts. It’s a precious thing to have an artistic voice as powerful as Jane’s developing over time.”
