Magnolia

I think this is a masterpiece of a movie maybe the perfect movie everything a movie should be really moved me kept me entertained and a little confused about stuff which I love to be a little confused that’s great

this was so sad, but I loved it.

reminded me of requiem for a dream where you’re put into the shoes of a bunch of suffering characters.

great soundtrack too (Aimee Mann is so incredible).

I can’t exactly explain why but this movie is absolutely riveting. I could not stop watching even though it’s 3 hours of different stories that don’t even necessarily have anything to do with eachother. The individual scenes, the performances, and the themes just pack such a punch. And the way music is used to build tension in between different stories to connect them together was also a brilliant touch. I really liked this a lot, even if the ending is kinda hard to make sense of. PTA just simply has the sauce.

8.5/10 (I’ve also never seen Tom Cruise deliver such a banger performance on my life)

9.0/10

The realities of the human experience can be explored in a movie, but it can’t be totally explained. I think that’s exactly what this represents, and that’s exciting and frustrating all at the same time.

4/10
