"Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood is a horrifying look at the eternal conflict between power, religion, and ambition."

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jan 18, 2025

As a concrete object, of rugged, forceful filmmaking and relentless performance, i>There Will Be Blood</I> has no need of its subtext. Yet it bubbles, seethes, trickles, pours and, yes, geysers.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Jul 4, 2024

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.

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]

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 16, 2021

Day-Lewis' fully committed and memorable performance as Daniel Plainview the selfish and successful oil man elevates the film. But it is one of those films were everything just works to make a great film. The Johnny Greenwood soundtrack adds a lot.

Histrionic, fatally confused and socially evasive, Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood is all the worse for its touching upon important subjects, oil and religion in American life.

The only other contemporary filmmakers operating at this level are saddled with lesser scripts, or haven't Anderson's ambition to perfect them by breaking them.

Though Day-Lewis seethes juicily, under the weight of all that allegory, Plainview steadily grows more vicious and less fascinating, wasting away to just a cackle and an empty leer.
