Limit displayed depth of gradle dependencies task

Question

Using gradle dependencies I get a huge list of all dependencies. Showing all dependencies the projects I depend on have. Is it possible to limit the depth of the shown list?
Example:

+--- com.company.common:e-common-junit:0.29.0-SNAPSHOT
|    +--- junit:junit:4.11 (*)
|    \--- commons-io:commons-io:2.4
\--- org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12:1.7.6
     +--- org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.6
     \--- log4j:log4j:1.2.17

Limited to only +--- com.company.common:e-common-junit:0.29.0-SNAPSHOT
From the gradle site:

dependencies - Displays all dependencies declared in root project 'projectReports'.
api:dependencies - Displays all dependencies declared in project ':api'.
webapp:dependencies - Displays all dependencies declared in project ':webapp'.

It even mentiones that these reports can get large at this official source.
Stating that I should use --configuration, but as far as my understanding of this article goes it would only limit it to compile, testCompile and so on, not in depth.
Version in use gradle 2.11

Use grep:

• Show only top level dependencies:
  gradle dependencies --configuration compile | grep -v '| '

• Show two levels:
  gradle dependencies --configuration compile | grep -v '| | '
