Meet God at the Movies

Meet God at the Movies will discuss the 2022 movie The Power of the Dog for its exploration at 6:30pm Monday, May 16.

Charismatic rancher Phil Burbank inspires fear and awe in those around him. When his brother brings home a new wife and her son, Phil torments them until he finds himself exposed to the possibility of love. The movie stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, and Jesse Plemons.

The Saint Philip’s movie discussion group gathers on the third Monday of every month via Zoom to explore a film generally, and then plumbs it for theological content in the area of creation (what is the world of the story like); what is broken/where is sin; is there a moment of turnaround, repentance; and where is redemption or the reign of God visible.

All are welcome to join the discussions, but registration is required. You may register here.

Where to stream the movie? The Power of the Dog can be watched on Netflix exclusively.
