Magnolia (1999)
Movie
Released
188 minutes, theatrical cut. A web of damaged parents, children, partners and strangers gradually becomes an argument about what people can admit to one another. Paul Thomas Anderson changes pace through performances, music and overlapping crises, letting an apparently minor encounter acquire force elsewhere. The emotional volume is high and some turns are extravagantly unlikely. The long evening is rewarded by connections that need time to gather.
