Let’s Unpack Here…

It’s like his film, Magnolia, in the sense that it’s a combination of various plot points, but it also reminds of Pulp Fiction, in the sense that all those plot points are very much connected to each other.

My initial thought was, “Why PTA, why must you confuse the hell outta me?!?” But, then I was like “Ohhh, right, it’s PTA we’re talking about.” As I’ve stated in previous reviews of his movies, he’s a genius, but…

Magnolia

1999

★★★★★ Liked Watched

So many great individual storylines, so many great individual performances from such a star studded cast, and though it was lengthy, it was so worth it!

To suffer through recovery time after wisdom teeth surgery, it was definitely a film I needed.

PTA is probably one of my favorite directors of all time.

It’s a shame this was Daniel Day-Lewis last/final film, he was such an amazing actor.

It’s scary to see Adam Sandler take on these kind of roles, like with “Uncut Gems (2019)” as well, but they are his better performances.

👏👏👏👏👏

Can anyone help by explaining this Film to me???

The cast & individual performances were great, there’s just a lot going on, story-wise, maybe even plot-wise, that is hard for me to piece together.

I didn’t know what I was walking into with this film, but I was willing to give it a shot. With that being said, even though I didn’t understand it, I think PTA did a good job in his execution.
