Our Generation's Citizen Kane

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2008)

I'm sat writing this about three hours after I walked out of "There will be Blood" and my head is still going through a million different emotions. This film just has so many levels, so much information and one stellar performance. Day Lewis lives up to every iota of hype and then some. People will talk about this film for years to come in the same way as they do with Citizen Kane. It is a brutal but beautiful portrait of one man. All of the the characters are just by-standers to the protagonist.
This is also an important film - it clearly demonstrates that greed and religion are not happy bed fellows and personally I can't wait to see it again, just so I can decide if it as good as I think it is right now or even better. 10/10
