Paul Thomas Anderson's ('Phantom Thread') epic drama stars an Oscar winning Daniel Day Lewis as Daniel Plainview, an oilman on a ruthless quest for wealth during South California's oil boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Using his adopted son HW to project a trustworthy, family-man image, Plainview cons local landowners into selling him their valuable properties for a pittance. However, local preacher Eli Sunday (Paul Dano) suspects Plainview's motives and intentions, starting a slow-burning feud that threatens both their lives. With a score by Jonny Greenwood and a place in history as one an Anderson masterpiece, this is one of those films always worth revisiting. ★★★★★ "This is a film by Paul Thomas Anderson that has overshot the runway of movie modernity with something thrillingly, dangerously new." - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian ★★★★★ "Uncompromising, intelligent and searing cinema." - Helen O'Hara, Empire
