There Will Be Blood
on DVD (2007)
Starring: Daniel Day-Lewis, Paul Dano, Kevin J. O'Connor
Director: Paul Thomas Anderson
Certificate: 
This is the best movie I've seen so far this year behind 'Diving Bell and the Butterfly'. I viewed it as a fascinating character study, people easily mistake slow paced for boring and I thought Anderson paced this movie masterfully. It is a deconstruction of two characters, Day Lewis' oil prospecter and Paul Dano's oddball preacher. Their paths as characters are linked as the world around them changes slowly. The last two scenes are two of the most powerful and brillianty acted scenes I have seen in a long time.
