There Will Be Blood Reviews

Movie Reviews

• It's timeless and topical, general and specific, abstract and as plain as the name of its fiery oilman

  by Manohla Dargis [NY Times ]

• Epic and intimate, larger than life as well as grounded and subtle

  by Adam Barnick [Entertainment Insiders ]

• enthralls for half its run but balances precariously atop an epilogue that can't sustain the picture's dramatic weight

  by Sean O'Connell [Filmcritic.com ]

• easily one of the year's best movies, an effing masterpiece from writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson

  by Pete Hammond [Maxim ]

• Daniel Day-Lewisâ��s hypnotic performance makes it a must see

  by Joshua Tyler [CinemaBlend ]

• at its centre is the towering performance of Daniel Day-Lewis

  by David Mercier [FilmJudge ]

• an arresting, fascinating, and sometimes disturbing motion picture experience

  by James Berardinelli [ReelViews ]

• "There Will Be Blood" is ferocious, and it will be championed and attacked with an equal ferocity
