The Power of the Dog has been criticized by Sam Elliott.

Smit-McPhee was asked by Variety if he had anything to say about the movie.

Smit-McPhee said that she was passionate about what she did. I do not give energy to anything outside of that. Good luck to him.

Jane Campion's Oscar-nominated Western, which stars Smit-McPhee as a teen living on a ranch in 1920s Montana, is a piece of shit.

The cowboys in "The Power of the Dog" were compared to the dancers of "Bannocks who wear bow ties and not much else."

He said that all the cowboys in the movie looked like that. There are allusions to homosexuality throughout the movie.

He praised Campion as a brilliant director, but criticized her depiction of the American West.

He asked what the woman from New Zealand knew about the American West.

Why did she shoot this movie in New Zealand and call it Montana? Say this is the way it was? That rubbed me the wrong way.

Benedict Cumberbatch responded to the criticism of Smit-McPhee last week.

He said during a BAFTA event on Friday that he was trying not to say anything about the reaction on the radio show.

Without meaning to sort of stir over the ashes of that, someone really took offense to it, so it was unfair for me to comment in detail.

"These people still exist in our world, and that's what I mean by emotionally repressed gay man," he said.

Whether it is on our doorstep or down the road or someone we meet in a bar or a pub, there is aggression and anger.

There was no harm in looking at a character to try and get to the root causes of that.
