Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Dani G Amazing performance by the greatest actor of our time, and let's not forget about the amazing Paul Dano. The best movie PT Anderson has delivered and one of the great films of the 21st century Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review Jeffrey P First 3/4 epic, final 1/4 less than epic. Close to five stars, it lost steam in the final 45 minutes. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Gero C The fucking mother of who raised this director and Daniel Day Lewis. There Will Be Blood is a film with a perfect narrative, incredible performances, violence that impressed me a lot, incredible photography, a story that advances with small but very significant steps, since as the story progresses the protagonist evolves in such a way. so that he is falling into madness. A beautiful performance by Lewis. Highly recommended Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Namrata Joshi Outlook The sprawling, dark epic hinges on atmospherics and the moody air. It's heightened further by the ominous music, especially in the long, wordless opening sequence set in the mines with man pitted against nature. Rated: 3/4 Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator Day-Lewis's performance will simply have you like a fever you can't shift. The landscapes are hard and big, but he scathes through them as if they were no more than your Uncle Stan's allotment. Aug 23, 2018 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: B+ Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Alex Papaioannou InSession Film There Will Be Blood remains one of the greatest American films to ever be crafted. And the idea of Daniel Plainview, as wicked as he may be, has only multiplied and thrived in the years since. Oct 31, 2023 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine Paul Thomas Anderson had already ventured into human miseries... here he manages to add cynicism and acidity to culminate the tragedy in an operatic way. So that we don't miss Stanley [Kubrick] so much. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 10/10 Jun 20, 2023 Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage An invitation to the mental tempest of Paul Thomas Anderson.
