  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 02 Feb 2025

  Did some important, required Paul Thomas Anderson hw before watching this epic tale. 

  Technically excellent, narratively confusing by the end. I’m also squeamish with that much heroin.

  There Will Be Blood 2007

  ★★★★½ Watched 30 Jan 2025

  Stunning film. Avoided it for so long because I don’t care to know much about drilling, but by the end sign me up for Oil Barron school. 

  DDL is really one of a kind. Paul Dano holds his own. So many of their exchanges will be burned into my head. Exhibit A. The fight where Daniel almost drowns him in the oil felt so vivid and not staged. 

  Would be rewarded by a second watch, methinks.
