virtually everything about this movie is amazing; the music and the cinematography and the acting and the directing and the script and the production design and the editing and it's originality. i love paul thomas anderson. he is my favourite living director (i think). the reason this movie gets an 85/4 stars is basically because its replay value is a little on the lower side, it's a little slow, not everyone will get it and strangely enough that when it ends you want to know more even thought everything has already been said. (this last point isn't usually a criticism, especially from me,... read more

intimista y sincera. cruda y hasta cierto punto satírica. the master tiene fuerza, potencia y alma. obra tan sustanciosa que su fondo, no solo opaca la forma impecable con que fue realizada, se manifiesta y transforma, convierte el drama paranoide del protagonista en un thriller esotérico de voluntad inamovible. paul thomas anderson toma el fin de la 2da guerra mundial y manufactura la psique de uno de sus protagonistas más complejos. sólido y moldeable a la vez, phoenix interpreta el que, a mi parecer, llega siendo su segundo mejor trabajo actoral hasta la fecha (su colaboración con... read more

beautiful, beautiful movie. all good there. amazing performances. i think the movie relied too much on them. the actors make almost every scene utterly arresting, but this doesn't add up to a movie as great as its parts. i couldn't look away from freddie, but i realized halfway through the movie that i didn't care one bit and i didn't understand him, not!hubbard dodd, or any of the other characters, or the dynamics between them. i don't want everything spelled out or even obvious, but wasn't this supposed to be more of a character study? actually, what was the point of the movie? based on its... read more

joaquin acting like a violent weirdo while psh blusters and pontificates about nonsense in the background is interesting enough but doesn't really feel like a cohesive film. and if it had some larger point maybe i was too stupid to pick up on it. read more

the master excelentes interpretaciones a cargo de amy adams, philip seymour hoffman y joaquin phoenix, en especial este último. sin embargo no es suficiente para que esta película llegue a cuajar y se ahoga en su propio interés de mostrarnos una secta a traves de escenas lentas sin ninguna o poca funcionalidad. read more

“i wanna get you on a slow boat to china. all to myself, alone.” i don't understand the big fuss with what this is about, in the end it is just a movie about the transformative power of homemade hooch and how cool it is to ride motorcycles on salt flats. read more

"The Master" has greatness to spare. In investigating the enigmatic relationship between cult leader Lancaster Dodd and WWII troubled veteran Freddie Quell, Anderson gets some portentous acting from both leads (and the supporting cast too), framing it all in arresting images that Mihai Malaimare's amazing cinematography captures as if discovering sunlight for the first time. Surprisingly, the film is so effective and authoritative in commanding attention that you won't regret it had not a clearer idea of what to do with it. read more

The story definitely went over my head on this one. Rating is pretty much solely because Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman can make me feel any emotion whether or not I know why. Gotta watch an explainer video and revisit this at some point. read more

I wish I could have immersed myself into it more fully because I feel like the overarching story of loneliness and purposelessness is very strong here and it's obviously a wonderfully crafted movie both behind and in front of the camera, however some scenes are definitely stronger than others. Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix) feels compelling and real and despite cinema obsessing over loners for years still feels like a fresh perspective on wayward souls. Phillip Seymour Hoffman is remarkable here and not to get caught up in some super-imposed corny narrative but Jesse Plemons' cameo as his... read more
