"And probably his 4th best after Boogie Nights, TWBB, and Phantom Thread (haven't seen Magnolia in a long long time so not including that)"
"I just finished watching Magnolia, which was a mostly plot-less movie that beautifully depicted the lives of multiple characters intertwining in the 90s. What I loved about it was how real and interesting the people in the movie were, and how the movie didn't feel the need to hook you with any crazy"
"If Boogie Nights was PTA aping Scorsese, Magnolia was where he began to carve that nakedly ambitious, maximalist style into something distinctive. I can't think of another movie that resembles it in the slightest - the intro, the rain of frogs, the musical climax to the tune of Wise Up. Beauty aside"
