There Will Be Blood

A driven prospector arrives in oil-rich California and persuades local landowners to sell their property, using his young son to build an image of trustworthiness. His business ambitions bring him into conflict with a local preacher, and their growing rivalry puts both men under pressure.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you’re drawn to patient, intense dramas about ambition and rivalry; Not for you if you want a brisk plot, likable characters, or an uplifting mood.
