Review of Magnolia (1999) by Russell S — 19 Jan 2017
Having watched this a few times I still haven't a clue what the ending is all about. Well made, nice idea, good performances but the unfathomable tieing together of the characters lives at the end just leaves me thinking "okay, so what?".
Were I rating this on performances and basic idea only, I would have scored it higher but the story execution and ending left me not caring if I ever saw it again, thus 2 stars is the best I can do.
The intriguing promise of the opening few minutes about coincidental happenings ultimately doesn't deliver a rewarding or particularly meaningful conclusion.
