The Palm Springs Desert Sun calls There Will Be Blood "a perfect film," citing "stellar casting, cinematography, and score" that make it "one of the best films of the year."
The Desert Sun credits director Paul Thomas Anderson with having "crafted the best movie of his career" and for having guided actor Daniel Day-Lewis, who "mesmerizes" in the lead role, in "the best performance of the year." (The paper's home town is currently hosting the Palm Springs International Film Festival, which, at a Gala event this week, honored Day-Lewis with the Desert Palm Achievement Award.)
The review points as well to the "breathtaking" cinematography of Robert Elswit and says that Johnny Greenwood's "resonant score ... is a marvel. His music adds layers to the film."
