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 pairing him with an actor as great as Philip Seymour Hoffman makes for some amazing scenes. It's sad to know that we may never have any more performances from such a great actor, but this is a great movie to show your worth through.

The Cinematography was superb with the underlying tone of colours to either symbolise or to juxtapose the emotions being felt by the character at that present moment. Paul Thomas Anderson has again proved that he is on of the most versatile directors with a constant change in style while maintaining an artistic identity and cinematic style.

Now there's lots of films were actors are consistently able to portray characters, but it's written in such a way that the script provides an excuse for us to be shown an emotional power house from these characters. Add that to the ominous soundtrack, amazing cinematography, and cleverly delivered statements on religion,
