A very long movie which tells an uninteresting story with no point.

The Master was great. Joaquin Phoenix was unbelievably good, even if he was rather hard to understand in the opening scenes. Physically, he was incredible though, with his awkward gait, facial expressions and tics. That processing scene, dayum. As usual, a good performance by PSH and great direction by PTA, plus some really nice colour grading going on.

The Master by Paul Thomas Anderson. In this film, we see some amazing performances by some very talented actors, most notably by Joaquin Phoenix ,who gives possibly the best performance of the year. His ability to transform into other characters surpasses the vast majority of Hollywood actors, and p More

Modern self-indulgent rubbish. Too long. I gained nothing from watching this. It's nicely photographed, but that is a given in the 21st century. The acting is fine, but this is a review of the movie as a whole. Don't waste your time.

**It's a film for a fairly narrow audience and is very slow paced... too slow.**

Honestly, I expected more from this movie. A certain strong dramatic spark that really justified the time spent watching it. Unfortunately, it seems the only motivation for seeing the film is its criticism of the Chu More
