Review of Magnolia (1999) by Andy P — 30 Mar 2014
PTA's massively ambitious and epically structured film is a sprawling story of family and the secrets, heartaches and disappointments contained within that is filled with fascinating biblical allusions and the successful grappling of large themes such as the meaning of life.
Incredibly, the film doesn't fall apart thanks to Anderson's ability to portray the themes by staying focused on the minute details of his characters, and to maintain an unwavering empathy with them.
