| Magnolia is writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson's follow-up to Boogie
Nights. This time, Anderson has come over all Robert Altman, resisting
traditional notions of narrative and instead taking a huge cast of
characters and weaving together a series of...more |

| by Jerry Saravia |
| I both loved and hated "Magnolia." Let me explain further. I've seen it twice,
and I am convinced that Paul Thomas Anderson's multilayered, mosaic character
study is the best American film of 1999. It is also a frustrating experience of
a movie because...more |

| 'Hard Eight' and 'Boogie Nights'. 1996 and 1997 were good years for
director Paul Thomas Anderson. Two films that established him as a hard

Robert Altman, was breath taking to...more |

| Magnolia Review |
| by Mark O'Hara |
| A couple of times a year a film involves me so completely that I forget to
notice things. I stop looking for clever camera angles and listening for
precise dialogue. Eyes on the screen, defenses down, I hang on to question,
predict and savor. more |

| Despite opening with footage of old black and white 16 millimeter film,
Magnolia quickly splices away from many time-revered filmmaking
fundamentals and bravely ventures into cutting-edge territory. In that
sense, the film is a true first effort and,...more |

| Traditionally, a commercial movie, no matter how experimental it pretends to
be, will nevertheless cling to at least one dramatic requirement: the
introduction, early on, of a problem, a question to be answered, something
to be solved. It's important to...more |
