  • Fully agree with Kermode..My opinion is that it is possibly the best American film of the decade..I certainly rate it higher than "No Country For Old Men" or say "The Departed" , both of which I like, but neither have the emotional and intellectual weight this film has. Improves with repeated viewings, a sign of a great movie.

  • A BASTARD FROM A BASKET!

    What do you reckon though....Do you think the film would have as much impact if daniel day lewis did not play the part of Daniel? i think a major weight of the film, as good as Paul Anderson is, relied on DDL's fantastic representation of this character.

  • This is how I'm gona watch Master when it gets out. 5 seats!

  • I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!

  • @ToneSpectra Some of us are very cold people! I'm not sure I have much of an emotional reaction to anything - except this film, which is just extraordinary.

  • My favourite Paul Anderson film is Mortal Kombat

  • @paulod27 It's simply incredible. It is the most amazing looking film I've ever seen. It's the first film I ever watched where could just look at it, and divorce what I was seeing from the plot and the audio (which is also great) and just think "this is just fucking amazing."

  • @moveablebeast That being said, he's one of the few film critics we can take seriously and when he's a little more objective, I value his opinion as much as Ebert.

  • If only he was more outspoken with his praise for such films, rather than constantly babbling about third rate horror flicks, to which only he has a sentimental attachment. I wish he would focus on promoting significant and intelligent films like this, rather than imposing intellectual ideas on terrible ones. He spends too much time trying to justify his nostalgia for B movies by pretending they have depth. Herzog really said it when he called him "intellectually warped".

  • Books and films are a seperate medium. you have to be an idiot to think they are in any way equivalent.

  • I like Kermode's choice of films but HATE how he arrives at his 'decisions'. I don't think there should be a decision, where's the decision? You should rely on your natural aesthetic response, not decide after ticking boxes, pros & cons.

  • I loved this film also. It was the most perfect film ever made.
