Blood Moneynew
Emotionally dissatisfying as it ultimately is, There Will Be Blood is nonetheless a defensible work of art. It is long (two hours and 38 minutes), but it's not tedious. Anderson keeps us watching, our hope, perhaps, sustaining us through the hopelessness on screen

Another Gushernew
Let me state this plainly: There is no stronger entry for the Best American Movie of 2007 than Paul Thomas Anderson's showy, jagged, complex There Will Be Blood.

Against Blood Typenew

'There Will Be Blood' Falls Down its Own Wellnew
We're variously reminded of Greed, Citizen Kane, Days of Heaven, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, and even Werner Herzog's oil-fire documentary, Lessons of Darkness -- all better movies on similar themes.
