Magnolia

Strange to say, but I think this movie needed to be longer. It was really long, but I think it needed another 20 minutes to really complete the stories. In case you wondered, this is another of those “intertwined lives” movies, a la ‘short cuts’ or ‘pulp fiction’. It was done really well – there was a lot of good acting, and the direction was first rate. I wish I could find better words of praise for this movie… it deserves some. I guess I’m just not sure what it was really about. Perhaps it was just about life & relationships & consequences, but isn’t almost every movie about that? Anyway, if you want to see an inventive, beautiful, smart and long movie, go see this.
