This movie is THE MOVIE of the year. It is very real life. No frills, no beating around the bush. It's sad, it's true, and it is called reality. For those who found the movie slow, perhaps you should stick to romantic comedies. Simple movie for simple people. TWBB has an amazing storyline and perhaps the most talented cast of actors I have ever seen work together. So brilliant! Go see it now!
boring, slow moving, depressing. great performance by daniel day lewis
I've read the reviews that are posted on this site and can't help but say that the negative reviewers are obviously very young or possibly very stupid. This isn't an action yarn nor a special effects epic. It is a real dramatic film based on an excellent novel, Upton Sinclair's "Oil". As such it isn't trying to just entertain you. It tells a story of greed, redemption and tragedy. Yes, it is a long movie. It takes more than 80 minutes to develop the characters and tell a story. In these days of greed, war and oil dependency, you would think that our youth would see the relevance of this movie and find it to be provocative. Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano are terrific in this film
One star is too many - rent a Barney movie for more enjoyment!
I enjoyed it a lot. DD is fabulous and the young minister was great as well. For the fellow that said it was 3hrs 17.minutes. It is only 165 minutes. So u must have benn at another movie
worst waste of 3 hours and $10
Without a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen. Totally depressing. Do not go to see this movie.
Some stories ought to remain between two covers.Thisis one of them.
Whoever says this movie sucks, doesn't know a good movie when they see it. I really enjoyed this film, it was dark, disturbing and thought provoking. Daniel Day-Lewis did a great job and Paul Dano was also perfect in this movie. 5 Stars
Painful to sit through.
