Quentin Tarantino has a scathing critique for Paul Dano. This week, the beloved filmmaker decided to tear into the actors’ performance in There Will Be Blood. During an appearance on the Brett Easton Ellis Podcast, Tarantino was listing off his favorite movies and the Paul Thomas Anderson film came up. Then, basically out of nowhere, he just started trashing Dano. It’s a little bit bizarre, and the Internet at large is completely thrown by this beef, or lack thereof?
Dano’s acting in the 2007 film is widely celebrated. Tarantino is not alone in having the Paul Thomas Anderson film ranked so highly. But, in the film makers estimation, Daniel Day-Lewis deserved a better scene partner than what the younger actor was giving. It’s all very messy, and that penchant for tossing a hot take out there is what makes a lot of folks love Tarantino as a director. You should check out the comments for yourself down below, and see if he’s right.
