Fantastic filmmaking, but not all that enjoyable.

Rating: 9/10 (8 November 2019)

This film will only appeal to real cinematic enthusiasts. "There Will Be Blood" is superbly written and directed, and the acting is excellent. The eerie soundtrack and set pieces blend masterfully with the narrative. That being said, this movie is extremely bleak, somber and slow-moving. There isn't a single moment of happiness or humor that give the audience a break from this heavy study of human depravity. This isn't mean to discourage anyone from watching this film, but simply to warn the viewer what he/she is getting into. This movie is entirely comprised of dialogue-heavy drama and relentless presentation of greed and callousness, wrapped up with a shocking and unexpected ending that earns the film its title, "There Will Be Blood".
