In Reply to: 'The Master": A bizarre masterpiece in its own right . . . posted by mr grits on September 21, 2012 at 15:49:33:
I now understand why critics loved it and audiences are very mixed about it. I don't want my 2.2 hours of my life back but I would have liked some SPOLIERS!!!!!!!!
revelatory moment, an aha moment, some change in the principals' characters, SOMETHING. But what we see in minute 10 is what we get in minute 137. I couldn't agree more about Phoenix tho, he totally inhabits and becomes his character. I saw Freddie Quell, not JP. PSH was masterful as usual but I always knew I was watching PSH act.
