It’s the perfect watch if you’re in for a movie night with a bit more intelligence than your typical lazy Sunday evening binge, given it’s easily one of the best movies on Netflix right now. When his brother George (Jesse Plemons) brings home a new wife (Kirsten Dunst) and her son Peter (Aussie actor Kodi Smith-McPhee), things change dramatically for Phil and his private life, while the possibility of love emerges. Benedict Cumberbatch leads the charge as an eccentric rancher, Phil Burbank, who regularly inspires both fear and awe wherever he goes. TNT owner Ted Turner refused to air the film, ostensibly because of its difficult subject matter, but the film goes out of its way to handle its material with as little exploitation as possible.IMDb Rating: 6.9 Rating: M15+ Genre: Western psychological drama Director: Jane CampionĬast: Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemmons, Kodi Smith-McPhee You Might Also Like: True Grit, 3:10 to YumaĬonsidering the ridiculous amount of hype claiming The Power of the Dog as the best movie of that year, it looks like Netflix has bagged yet another winner with this modern Western directed by Oscar-winner Jane Champion. Set in South Carolina in the late 1940s and early 1950s, Bastard Out Of Carolina touches on many aspects of life, family, and hardship amidst the poor white of the South. Anney is next courted by the less good-natured Glen (Ron Eldard), who takes out his rage on Bone both physically and sexually, as Bone becomes even more disillusioned at her mother's inability to get away from her monstrous husband. While Bone is still a small child, her single mother, Anney (Jennifer Jason Leigh), meets and marries the sweet Lyle (Dermot Mulroney), and the two add another daughter to the family before Lyle dies in an auto accident.
Based on a novel by Dorothy Allison, the film (narrated by Laura Dern) tells the tale of Bone (Jena Malone), a poor white girl so named because she was born right after her mother survived a terrifying car crash. Little Chenier was directed by actress and filmmaker Bethany Ashton Wolf, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jace Johnson, whose short story provided the basis for the story.Īccomplished actress Anjelica Huston, daughter of John Huston, made her directorial debut with this absorbing, often wrenching story of child abuse in the 1950s American South. Carl's father is the local sheriff, and when he's killed in the line of duty, his son takes his place it isn't long before Carl learns Mary-Louise has been having an affair with Beaux, and he uses his new authority to put Pemon behind bars on false change as a way of punishing his big brother. As it happens, Carl has reason to suspect Mary-Louise - she still stops by the Dupuis home occasionally to bring snacks for Pemon, and is sometimes tempted into infidelity by Beaux. Beaux used to love Mary-Louise (Tamara Braun), a dark-eyed beauty, but she's recently married local ne'er do well Carl Lebauve (Jeremy Davidson), who has a mean streak and a jealous nature. Beaux is a handsome and responsible man who supports his family by running a bait shop and looks after Pemon, who is mentally handicapped.
Beaux Dupuis (Jonathan Schaech) lives on a houseboat with his brother Pemon (Fred Koehler) in the swamps of Cajun country. Two brothers are victimized by a weak and jealous man in this drama shot on location in Louisiana.
