The cast is flawless. Both Phoenix and Hoffman deliver phenomenal performances. The cinematography is beautiful and touching. However, while it was good, it got slower towards the end and lost its shine. It started feeling more like a bunch of scenes than a narrative.

Every PTA movie comes with generally unanimous critical and public praise. "The Master" is no worse a demonstration of craft as PTAs best, and the thinly veiled depiction of L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology does make a compelling topic in his hands, yet this lacks in the gruesome catharsis of "There Will Be Blood" and the unfolded, chaotic mesh of "Magnolia". This one has the journey, but no destination.

I was riveted to the screen for the entirety of the film, but was waiting for something to happen, and nothing ever seemed to. The cast was fantastic. The characters were well-written. PTA wrote incredible dialogue that had me searching for meaning and subtext and ascribing themes to the film... but nothing is there. It's a whole bunch of "wha...?" But maybe all of that is the point. Maybe this is all one giant troll by PTA. The Master (Hoffman) is full of shit, and maybe this film is too

Paul Thomas Anderson's most thoughtful piece for sure. Also an aesthetic attempt with the beautiful cinematography and art direction.

Terrific job by the three leads, the adams/hoffman dynamic was really good as well as the hoffman/phoenix. Joaquin Phoenix does a great job of portraying a broken character who really is uncomfortable to watch (as intended). Only issue I have is that I found there to be too many themes and such to the point that I was not really able to come away with too much. The portion from about 20 minutes to ~90 is really good, where the first 20 and last 45 or so minutes could drag on at times.

Amy Adams puts on a stunning performance, but can't quite escape the shadow of her career defining role in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
