The Sacramento News & Review calls There Will Be Blood "a real achievement" and says that with the film, director Paul Thomas Anderson "has achieved a bombastic breakthrough ... This is the best work he’s ever done." It is Daniel Day-Lewis, "a titan" in the lead acting role, and Jonny Greenwood as composer of the score "without whose contributions the movie almost certainly wouldn’t work," writes the News & Review's Jonathan Kiefer. He calls Greenwood an "essential performer" in the film and the music just "what this throbbing film needs."

The Sacramento News & Review calls There Will Be Blood "a real achievement" and says that with the film, director Paul Thomas Anderson "has achieved a bombastic breakthrough ... This is the best work he’s ever done."

Despite the very American story at the heart of There Will Be Blood, it is two British talents—Daniel Day-Lewis, "a titan" in the lead acting role, and Jonny Greenwood as composer of the score—"without whose contributions the movie almost certainly wouldn’t work," writes the News & Review's Jonathan Kiefer. He calls Greenwood an "essential performer" in the film and the music just "what this throbbing film needs."
