Mini Review - The Master
- Details
- Written by Matthew Toomey
The Master (out Nov 8) is set in the 1950s and is an absorbing character study about an aimless WWII veteran (Joaquin Phoenix) and the leader of a growing cult (Philip Seymour Hoffman). The performances are sensational and combined with the beautiful cinematography and uneasy film score, this is another feather in the cap of writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson. Grade: A-.
