I don't get the uproar. Having seen both, I thought No Country For Old Men was clearly the better movie (which isn't hard- I thought There Will Be Blood sucked).
In my opinion it was jarring, meandering, and deliberately unpleasant. Daniel Day-Lewis basically redid his work from Gangs of New York, and in his attempt to out-pretentious himself P.T. Anderson tried to depart from his pattern and meld Kubrick and John Ford and... basically wound up making another P.T. Anderson picture.
I didn't like it. I've not liked other award winning films and still acknowledged their artistry, but I felt that the flaws I saw in TWBB outweighed any artistic merit the film had.
