Perfect Movie

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2011)

I can't imagine a better movie. Flawless. There is absolutely nothing that I would change about it, except that I wish that it was longer.
Daniel Day-Lewis may be the best actor that has ever lived. This is one of his best roles ever and very worthy of the Oscar he won for it.
P.T. Anderson is a master. All of his movies are great. The first 15 minutes, where not a single word is spoken, are the most captivating I've ever seen. The whole movie could have been a silent movie and still would have been intriguing. The cinematography really shows the open spaces of the West and the stark life of boom towns at the turn of the century.
It's essential viewing.
