Forget speechless, this film left me BREATHLESS

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2009)

After viewing this film, I was truly breathless. The wind had been knocked out of me by the performances, the music, the cinematography. Everything about this movie is flawless. Daniel Day-Lewis has truly outdone himself. He had, at that point, already secured his spot as one of the greatest actors (if not THE greatest) today, with films like In the Name of the Father and My Left Foot, but this is by far his best performance. Although cliché, I could truly watch this man recite the dictionary; no, I could watch him READ the dictionary, as the first 20 minutes of TWBB proved to me. If you haven't seen this magnificent film, go watch it right now. If you have seen it, go watch it again.
