A towering, tour-de-force display in cinematic virtuosity; and an incredibly ambitious, deliberate stab at greatness by the director. Only time will tell if he's pulled it off.

Top Critic This operatic drama rivets us to the seat from the wordless opening reel and never lets us go.

[I]t's a movie that people who love movies will discuss, argue over, and rewatch for years to come.

The visuals, the pacing, an all-time great performance and a timely theme add up to make There Will Be Blood one of the most memorable films I have seen.

Featuring one of the most complex and interesting lead characters you will ever find in the movies, Paul Thomas Anderson's film marks a big step forward for the director.

Daniel Day-Lewis does an oil maniac in this emotionally drenched gut-slicing and grueling bipolar gore, and what is surely the most grotesque screen image ever of a warped male maternal instinct.

Coen brothers, Paul Thomas Anderson drinks YOUR milkshake! This is the best film of 2007. Hands down.

The original Beverly Hillbillies, only sans the cement pond.

Anderson's triumphant epic about the bone-breaking, death-defying, orphan-making early days of the oil industry will serve as a benchmark for all of his future films.

If Day-Lewis isn't front and center, the film drags with themes such as oil vs. religion, and greed is always around...

After years of achieving a Hollywood cult following, writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson hits the big time with his adaptation of Upton Sinclair's novel, "Oil."

Daniel Day Lewis' blistering, devilish performance is the greatest of his accomplished career, and director Paul Thomas Anderson has made a second masterpiece to go alongside Magnolia.

Una obra mayor sobre codicia y religión y el retrato de una personalidad oscura y fascinante, compuesta con maestría por Daniel Day-Lewis. Confirma la madurez de Paul Thomas Anderson, el notable director de Boogie Nights y Magnolia.

There has been plenty of critical pants-wetting about Paul Thomas Anderson's latest film, and I am an Anderson admirer to be sure %u2013 but beyond an acting nomination for Daniel Day Lewis, I just can't get on that train.

Anderson volta a exibir, em Sangue Negro, seu talento para o simbolismo e para opções narrativas intrigantes.
