There Will Be Blood
Magnolia director Paul Thomas Anderson's fifth film charts the rise and fall of an oil millionaire in the first three decades of the twentieth century. Daniel Day-Lewis stars
With the historical oil saga There Will Be Blood, Paul Thomas Anderson really demonstrates his range. Having started relatively small with the slick casino thriller Hard Eight in 1996, he moved on to the broad, Altman-esque canvases of Boogie Nights and Magnolia, and then then jumped ship to deliver the low-key kooky romance of Punch-Drunk Love.
Now, after an absence of five years, he has delivered an epic tale of oil, religion and greed, which none of his previous films have prepared us for. Centred around an incredible performance from Daniel Day-Lewis, for whom Anderson wrot...
There Will Be Blood
Todd McCarthyBoldly and magnificently strange, There Will Be Blood marks a significant departure in the work of Paul Thomas Anderson. Heretofore fixated on his native Los Angeles and most celebrated for his contempo ensemblers, writer-helmer this time branches out with an intense, increasingly insidious character study of a turn-of-the-century central California oil man. There's no getting around the fact that this Paramount Vantage/Miramax co-venture reps yet another 2??--hour-plus indie-flavored, male-centric American art film, a species that has recently proven difficult to market to more than rarefied audiences. Distribs will have to roll the dice and use hoped-for kudos for the film and its superb star Daniel Day-Lewis to create the impression of a must-see.

There Will Be Blood
Claudia PuigThere Will Be Blood (* * * 1/2 out of four) is a bold and sprawling epic about false prophets and massive profits set in a stark and dramatic oil-rich landscape. At first sight, this period piece by director Paul Thomas Anderson (Magnolia, Boogie Nights) seems to be a major departure from his previous films. But, upon closer inspection, this represents the evolution of a hugely talented and increasingly mature filmmaker. Not only is the story set in California, where most of his films have been situated, but it focuses on brooding, troubled souls and exposes shaky family bonds and the corruption of power and greed, just as his previous works have. Anderson's latest film is a near-masterpiece that is both exhilarating and disturbing. But it leaves...
There Will Be Blood
With the authentic lubricate story There Wishes Be Blood, Paul Thomas Anderson really demonstrates his reach. Having started relatively small with the slick casino thriller Hard Eight in 1996, he moved on to the forthright, Altman-esque canvases of Boogie Nights and Magnolia, and then then jumped dispatch to express the low-level kooky romance of Punch-Drunk Charity. Now, after an deficiency of five years, he has delivered an epic slander of grease, religion and voracity, which none of his previous films bring into the world able us respecting. Centred around an incredible performance from Daniel Day-Lewis, after whom Anderson wrote the script, it starts out as a traditional historical biography and grows steadily foreigner and darker until its preposterously ...
