Symbolic? Tried too hard...I get it already!!!!

Masterpiece? Short cinematic shelf life...I don't care what anyone says, I can't imagine anyone WANTING to watch this for a second time.

Acting? DDL again a wild-eyed meglomaniac. Got that one down...Ho hum. I'm back on board if he can pull off an endearing, loving Everyman in a light comedy. Oscar time!!!

Paul Dano....dandelion fluff fighting an oak tree....too bad.

The final scene....unsatisfying on all levels.

Just because it's Paul Anderson and Daniel Day Lewis...let's keep our heads here....this wasn't great...it was barely, barely good.

I was distracted and thoroughly entertained by the score however.
