Benedict Cumberbatch receives BAFTA nomination

Benedict Cumberbatch has been one of the favorites for this award season, receiving

multiple nominations for his role as Phil Burbank in 'The Power Dog', probably the

movie with the most nominations and awards this season, written and

directed by Jane Campion, mostly known for being the first female director

to be nominated for an Academy Award, and the first female director to win a Palm d'Or,

after her film 'The Piano'.

Benedict Cumberbatch has always been an amazing actor, with lots of accolades for his past

roles, always having a lot of personality and poise to give for everything he does,

and with 'The Power of The Dog' a western physiological drama where Benedict

has a much darker role than the usual for him, he's a resentful man, paranoic,

always on guard, hateful and ready to judge everything and everyone around him,

like he does with Rose, the new girlfriend of his brother.

He definitely captures the essence of the character and the movie

is a really interesting drama worth watching to create your own opinion,

and see if you agree or disagree with the critics.

Kirsten Dunst is also prolific in this movie, with her role as Rose, and newcomer to

the Burbank ranch and girlfriend of Phil's (Benedict) brother, who makes

Phil really doubtful and paranoic, because he feels Rose is only taking

advantage of her brother for his money, since he thinks George, his brother,

and dumb and naive, easy to manipulate, and sees Rose a threat to his

family money, like a smart enchantress trying to seduce and use

his brother.
