Favorite Film of the Decade

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2008)

As a two hour and forty minute movie, it feels like it's one hour and forty minutes. As a historical epic, it effectively conveys the different eras. As an allegory of capitalism vs evangelism, it's smart. As a display of pure acting power by Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano, it is entertaining as hell.
With this work, PT Anderson establishes himself to be not only THE most promising young director, but on top of the list of top-echelon filmmakers (if he wasn't there already). Well- scripted, well-shot, well-acted, this film is my number one of the decade, and it will be near impossible for another one to come around and knock it off.
10/10
