It’s literally a tragic character study about an evil gay Cowboy, tormented and killed by a boy.

I’m not calling woke. I never called it woke. I said I liked it. I just said it was boring. And slow character study movies tend to be Oscar baity. We can disagree on the term or it’s usage but when I saw the trailer, I said that looks like Oscar bait.

I watched it. I liked it. I still think it was OB. And that’s ok.

I tried to keep it vague because my spacing to hide spoilers is always a disaster on my iPhone.

For me, Oscar bait is defined by being formulaic. For example, King Richard is a very good movie but it’s formulaic.

Power of the Dog messes with audience expectations and is far less formulaic because of it.

I agree that is very slow-paced, and it’s the reason why I think it’s likely a top 10 movie for the year but not top going to crack my top 100 all time.

Being the Ricardos is also fairy Oscar baity and a movie I enjoyed.
