Skewed exploration of the great American themes of religion, family, and capitalism 
Fascinating film exploring the great American themes of religion, family, and capitalism. Director Poul Thomas Anderson creates a parallel universe all his own (ostensibly the early 20th century) through daring use of lighting, music, and silence. Daniel Day Lewis's performance as the uncomprising oilman is superb. A few lulls and an abrupt ending are the only thing that detract from this one. Admittedly not to all tastes.

I will definitely take the time to sit down and watch this movie again. My only regret is that I waited so long to watch it the first time.

Scenic gritty early 20th century 
A beautiful tale of greed and consuming madness. Wonderfully gritty and very beautiful yet maintains its early 20th century Upton Sinclair feel. Blu ray is the way to go. Rich sharp viewing.
