Something missing

Rating: 7/10 (1 July 2013)

I expected this film to watch for a long time; I was mostly intrigued from the critics about Day-Lewis' performance, Daniel being my favourite. However, even though I liked the film, it was not the masterpiece I expected it to be.
Let's begin with the +'s. Indeed, Day-Lewis was excellent, while Dano was also a good supporter. The cinematography was impressive and I think I quite liked Anderson's style (it's his first movie I've seen). And of course the last scene was incredible.
Perhaps, the worst thing about "There Will be Blood" is the lack of a compact story. I never knew what was this film about; hypocrisy of religion, family, greed? All of them? Did Anderson wanted to pass the viewers a message? What is more, I would like to hear some more music in the film, but this is totally subjective.
