Another special film from Paul Thomas Anderson,
By
This review is from: Magnolia [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Even braver and deeper emotionally than Paul Thomas Anderson'swonderful 'Boogie Nights', and in some ways a more mature, if less blazingly dynamic work. Full of amazing shots, amazing performances. The epic, multi-layered film 'Short Cuts' wanted to be. That said there are a few flaws. The biblical ending doesn't quite work for me. I appreciate the ideas behind it, but it's an ending that's less emotional than the film that proceeded it. And a few moments of irony are forced. That was true in 'Boogie Nights' too, but because that film had a lighter, more self-mocking touch, even the heavy handed moments didn't stick out. None-the-less, this is a must see film, overflowing with great performances, unconventional storytelling, heartbreaking moments, and an honest look at where we are and who we are as a society.
