  • Baker & Taylor
    Follows the story of two brothers in 1920s Montana as their already-fragile relationship is impacted by the arrival of a woman and her young son.
  • Criterion Distribution
    In 1920s Montana, swaggering rancher Phil Burch (Benedict Cumberbatch) readily extended the cruelty he heaped upon passive brother George (Jesse Plemons) to his sibling's fragile new wife Rose (Kirsten Dunst) and her sensitive med student son Peter (Kodi Smit-McPhee). Fatefully, the young man discovers the compulsions beneath Burch's macho facade-and Phil's attempts to mend fences may be his undoing. Oscar-winner Jane Campion's psychological sagebrusher co-stars Thomasin McKenzie. 126 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, English descriptive video; Subtitles: English (SDH); featurettes; theatrical trailer.
