"A sensational piece of moviemaking—a wild folly dripping with a sour nectar of cinematic bravado."— Roger Clarke, Independent (UK)

Simultaneously intimate and epic, Paul Thomas Anderson's 1999 masterpiece weaves together parallel stories of guilt, frustration, and ambition on a rainy night in Los Angeles. Two dying absent fathers, two quiz-show wiz kids, a home nurse, a religious cop, and a proto-incel motivational speaker pull us through a dense, novelistic story. Like all of Anderson's films, Magnolia is built around essential performances from a powerful ensemble, including Tom Cruise, William H. Macy, Jason Robards, and Julianne Moore. With an expansive scope and a meditative tone, the film cemented Anderson's status as an auteur for a new generation.
