Magnolia

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).

a massive project from one of my all time favorite masters of the medium, an impressive and packed anthology film with a vast amount of ideas, themes, and concepts. the characters, writing, and cinematography are all very strong; definitely worthwhile

Long as crap. It had 6 stories, that’s why it’s so long, tried hard to tell all the stories to completion but fell short. Unique story telling, great score, amazing cast. A bit vulgar, slow at times. Hardos probably drool over this movie

One of those films that leaves you disarmed at the end.

I saw this way back in 2000, but I don’t think my young mind could really comprehend what was going on. There are some truly amazing performances here, specifically by Tom Cruise! He should have won the Oscar that year! Paul Thomas Anderson knows how to write and direct a film!
