Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has criticised actor Paul Dano in a recent appearance on The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast, describing his performance in There Will Be Blood as 'weak sauce'. The comments were made during a discussion about Tarantino's favourite films of the 21st century.
Tarantino said the 2007 film, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, would otherwise rank among his top choices but claimed Dano's performance undermined what he viewed as an otherwise exceptional production. The remarks were shared widely online following the podcast's release.
