Review Quotes: "A classic tale of greed and corruption"--Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation
"[Oil! is] probably his second best book and certainly his most readable."--The New Yorker
"Anderson's film is a true American saga--one that rivals Giant and Citizen Kane in our popular lore as origin stories about how we came to be the people we are... Daniel Day-Lewis is at his brilliant best as the story's Daniel Plainview, a man whose humanity diminishes as his fortunes increase."--Variety
