A riveting Character study.

Rating: 7/10 (8 June 2017)

I will have too be honest and say for me that this was some of the best performances I have seen in a film. Daniel Day-Lewis, oozed charisma in his role portraying Daniel Plainview. Paul Dano, also shined as Lewis' counterpart. This movie is a really well directed period piece, that will be hard to forget! My only criticism for the movie, is that I felt it lacked jeopardy and maybe needed the stakes raising.. You could argue with me however, that the film focused more on the personalities themselves! And did not need to rely on complexed plot points, action or anything else that might be expected from this genre.. If you are a fan of films that are dialogue heavy with nuanced screen acting, then this is the movie for you.
