If you loved Magnolia, try The Master

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Magnolia, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Master is

A 1950s Pacific liner, clinking glasses, a stranger's stare. Freddie's scars meet Lancaster Dodd's words, a cause is born. Anderson revisits the era of cults and charismatic leaders.
