For me, what does it take to create a perfect film? Outstanding acting. Innovative musical score. Subtlety. And gripping reailsm. There Will Be Blood excels in all of these categories….and even more. Daniel Day Lewis has always been one of my favorites (who can forget the final scene in The Crucible?), but here, he completely blows me away. With Paul Dano, they create two of the most unforgettable characters I’ve ever seen on screen. Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood crafts one of the greatest musical scores my ears have ever had the pleasure of hearing. It’s almost hard to describe in one review. My only advice is to watch it. Watch it and see the greatness.
