Review of Magnolia (1999) by Netflic — 02 Nov 2020
Oh boy, oh boy. I don't know where to begin.
They cannot make movies like this nowadays.
One percent of what is there would be considered too politically incorrect. And that is a shame, because it is a masterpiece. I watched it 20 years agoOh boy, oh boy. I don't know where to begin.
They cannot make movies like this nowadays.
One percent of what is there would be considered too politically incorrect.
And that is a shame, because it is a masterpiece.
I watched it 20 years ago when it just came out, in a theater. And I loved it.
Since then I forgot what it was about, I just remembered that I loved it 20 years ago.
Decided to watch it again. So happy I did.
The movie is intensely packed. The script is enough to make at least three good dramas of.
Shakespearean quality. The ensemble of actors... All the best of the very best is there.
Performances vary from very good to breathtaking.
Some would say it is too intense, too intermingled. Maybe.
The clear advantage of watching it at home is that one can take a break when it becomes unbearable, and it does. That is when you know it is not just a good movie.
Plus you could read subtitles and not miss any word they sometimes mumble.
'Nough said.
It is a must-see movie.
