Magnolia (1999)

This epic film is so emotionally draining. Time flew by and the three hour mark arrived quite a bit earlier than expected after prolonging my first viewing due to its monstrous length. The musical score really helps bring some lengthy scenes together very smoothly. Although some parts are rather messy, things were surprisingly easy to follow except for some raining frogs towards the end. This is art for art's sake. And the cast is suberb.

It's just coincidence that Philip Seymour Hoffman was in my first two officially reviewed films. Or is it?...Ha.

8.5/10 - steven
