Reviews for There Will Be Blood
Top Critic If Day-Lewis isn't front and center, the film drags with themes such as oil vs. religion, and greed is always around...

Anderson has truly made an old fashioned, great American movie. Not to be missed!!!

As a film about one man's obsessive egomania, There Will Be Blood does its job.

I just sat there in awe the entire two hours and thirty minutes of the film, just completely stunned as to what I was seeing.

In fact, when we look back at "There Will Be Blood" decades from now we will probably be saying that the sprawling epic about oil, family, faith, greed and deception is Anderson's crowning achievement. And that's saying a lot.

The visuals, the pacing, an all-time great performance and a timely theme add up to make There Will Be Blood one of the most memorable films I have seen.

Featuring one of the most complex and interesting lead characters you will ever find in the movies, Paul Thomas Anderson's film marks a big step forward for the director.

Daniel Day-Lewis does an oil maniac in this emotionally drenched gut-slicing and grueling bipolar gore, and what is surely the most grotesque screen image ever of a warped male maternal instinct.

Coen brothers, Paul Thomas Anderson drinks YOUR milkshake! This is the best film of 2007. Hands down.
04/13/08
Anderson's triumphant epic about the bone-breaking, death-defying, orphan-making early days of the oil industry will serve as a benchmark for all of his future films.

After years of achieving a Hollywood cult following, writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson hits the big time with his adaptation of Upton Sinclair's novel, "Oil."

There Will Be Blood is the sort of film you stumble out of, desperately searching for an adjective that is both descriptive enough to encompass your experience and distinctive enough to convey your stratosphere-bound senses.
02/28/08
Daniel Day Lewis' blistering, devilish performance is the greatest of his accomplished career, and director Paul Thomas Anderson has made a second masterpiece to go alongside Magnolia.
02/25/08
Una obra mayor sobre codicia y religión y el retrato de una personalidad oscura y fascinante, compuesta con maestría por Daniel Day-Lewis. Confirma la madurez de Paul Thomas Anderson, el notable director de Boogie Nights y Magnolia.
