There Will Be Blood (2007)- Daniel Day-Lewis, Paul Dano, Dillon Freasier

I had to be talked into watching this film, but it turned out to be not at all what I was expecting. To attempt a genre definition beyond "period character study" is beyond my meagre attempts; I feel I am still processing what I viewed. Roger Ebert puts it far more eloquently: "Watching the movie is like viewing a natural disaster that you cannot turn away from. By that I do not mean that the movie is bad, any more than it is good. It is a force beyond categories. It has scenes of terror and poignancy, scenes of ruthless chicanery, scenes awesome for their scope, moments echoing with whispers and an ending that in some peculiar way this material demands, because it could not conclude on an appropriate note -- there has been nothing appropriate about it."

Daniel Day-Lewis' character is reprehensible and well aware of it (a scene with his half-brother (Kevin O'Connor) demonstrates this superbly). To describe anything further risks spoilers, but Day-Lewis' award for this performance is well-earned. While it seems an odd thing to say, Dillon Freasier's character is a natural part of the scenery without fading entirely into the background- a testament to the acting ability of this young man. Paul Dano's character is a successful foil for Day-Lewis, as well as intriguing and ambiguous in his own right. There are gorgeous cinematic shots of sun-baked hills and scrub brush, but although shot in the same location, the land doesn't become a character as in No Country For Old Men. The soundtrack is bizarre, but fitting and not overpowering.

My main complaint is the pacing. This is a slow movie. It feels much longer than its 2h35min running time. It also skips time, jarringly in some instances. This results in plot threads left unresolved, or in a resolution that occurs off-screen without any on-screen callback...the aftermath just is. This doesn't create confusion for the viewer, just some frustration at not knowing the details in a film obsessed with details. Paradoxically, an extra 15-20min near the end (where the largest time-skips occur) may have given a more even result.

I'm not sure if I'll watch this one again. If I do, it will be in several years. But I'm glad I did. 9/10.
