You go in thinking this will be one of those ponderous, slow, boring "important" films--and then you glance at your watch and you're surprised that an hour has already passed. Every scene of this film is so compelling, contains such riveting visuals, presents such an unusual tableaux of score and sound editing, and wraps itself so tightly around another astounding performance by Daniel Day-Lewis, that the cumulative effect is a movie so mesmerizing you can't take your eyes off the screen. It's a marvel, a provocative and challenging film that is better than you think it will be, better than you think it could be. A must see.
