Ear up There Will Be Blood (46:53) R-rated for dastardly swearing.
Oil! Also, money, religion, power…and blood! Paul Thomas Anderson’s blisteringly intimate epic brings us another in a long line of huge Daniel Day-Lewis performances. This remains PTA’s most-successful and rewarded film yet, even though it certainly isn’t flawless. This wraps up the Month O’ Bev, so stay tuned for Oscar Month the rest of February.
