Critic Tom Charity, writing about CNN's ten-best films list, calls the film the only "flat-out masterpiece" of 2007.

Quote:

The film received very positive reviews from critics. As of January 18 2008 on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes 91% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 142 reviews.[10] On Metacritic, the film has an average score of 92 out of 100, based on 33 reviews.[11]

Andrew Sarris called the film "an impressive achievement in its confident expertness in rendering the simulated realities of a bygone time and place, largely with an inspired use of regional amateur actors and extras with all the right moves and sounds."[12]

I watched it on TV this week for the first time and it was awesome. He is a really good actor. You love to hate him and you hate to like him but you do and you do.
