And the long journey makes it all the sweeter. With Netflix’s “The Power of the Dog,” Jane Campion is enjoying her most celebrated film in years. Movies Jane Campion explains her enigmatic career choices: ‘I’m careful about the bones I care to chew on’ It looks like he’s trying to soothe his anxiety. Yes, Peter goes outside and we see him spinning the hula hoop, which I initially saw as a coping mechanism, like those fidget spinners that were so popular a few years ago. He didn’t know he could get hurt that easily. But I think Peter’s also upset that Phil brought him almost to the point of crying on that first encounter. Phil’s burning roses, which he is about to do to Peter’s mother, destroying her. But Phil’s certainly on Peter’s radar from that first night.

Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons and Kodi Smit-McPhee co-star in this superlative Netflix adaptation of Thomas Savage’s novel.
