The Power of the Dog howled loudly at the 42nd annual London Critics’ Circle Film Awards, securing four major awards at the group’s virtual awards ceremony from The May Fair Hotel.
The Jane Campion Western, available on Netflix, was crowned Film of the Year, while Campion was named Director of the Year. Stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Kodi Smit-McPhee won Actor and Supporting Actor of the Year.
It’s Campion’s second film to take the Circle’s top honour, 28 years after The Piano in 1994.
Drive my Car and The Souvenir Part II took two awards each. The former, from Japanese auteur Ryûsuke Hamaguchi, was named Foreign Language Film of the Year, while Hamaguchi and co-writer Takamasa Oe took the Screenwriter of the Year prize.
Joanna Hogg’s The Souvenir Part II was named British/Irish Film of the Year, just two years after its predecessor took the same honour; it was also one of three films, along with Memoria and The French Dispatch, for which Tilda Swinton received the British/Irish Actress of the Year award.
Actor-turned-director Rebecca Hall’s drama Passing earned her the Breakthrough British/Irish Filmmaker award, as well as Supporting Actress of the Year for Ruth Negga.
