It was really well matched. The words that come to mind: sparse & sinister. Daniel Day Lewis was outstanding.

Like Bernard Herrmann on morphine...or mushrooms...or something.

during that speech, when he mocked paul dano about draining the oil using the milkshake metaphor...i had to stop, pause, think "he is fucking brilliant" and then focus on the scene again.
