A second viewing justifies an updated score. Powerful, mesmerizing, and unbelievably emotionally draining; this multi-layered portrait of all that comes with a desire for power makes no apologies in delivering one of the greatest character studies of all time. We have Daniel Day-Lewis playing Daniel Plainview - he is a salesman and he does it very, very well. Accompanied by one of the most haunting scores in any movie, it's one of those movies that will require a completely full stomach, a high appreciation of art, and more importantly, the willingness to comprehend that this is what all that our capitalistic society is based upon; nothing more, nothing less. 9.3/10.
