Additional InformationPaul Thomas Anderson's THE MASTER stars Joaquin Phoenix as a psychologically damaged war veteran who finds himself working for Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), a charismatic figure building his own religion. As the alcoholic, self-destructive former soldier becomes more deeply involved with the leader of this cult-like organization, his natural instincts keep him from embracing his new position as strongly as others in the group would hope. Amy Adams, Laura Dern, Jesse Plemons, and David Warshofsky co-star.
ReviewsThe Globe And Mail (Toronto) - Like Stanley Kubrick's EYES WIDE SHUT, Anderson's latest is enigmatic. But if you have eyes and can see, The Master it is unmistakably some kind of wonder. At least, it's an exhilarating demonstration of big-screen moviemaking in dreamlike colours and a sense-heightening 70-mm format., Empire - An often brilliant '50s-throwback character drama that never feels nostalgic, with terrific central performances and a luminous, unforgettable visual beauty., Total Film - With potent performers and poetic visuals, Anderson has made the boldest American picture of the year., Boston Globe - Nothing as big and strange and right as THE MASTER should feel as effortless as it does. That's not the same as saying that it's light. It's actually heavy. It weighs more than any American film from this or last year. It's the sort of movie that young men aspiring to write the Great American Novel never actually write.
