There Will Be Blood (2007)

Did I enjoy this film? Almost twenty-four hours on and I still don't really know.. Certain scenes were particularly gripping, the soundtrack different and the (over?) acting intense as could be expected from DDL. But, I still couldn't say if I actually enjoyed it.. Over to you Mitch..




Yep, I'm still trying to wrestle with this one myself. It's not something I'd rush out to buy on DVD, but I was pleased to see a movie that didn't seem bound by conventions and was, in a way, somehow "different". DDL brings life to Plainview, maybe to be overshadowed by Paul Dano in some scenes. A slow-burning acquired taste.

Mitch 3.5 stars
