A collage of complex and emotional stories, woven into one beautiful behemoth of a film
A modern day epic. Worms its way into your brain days after your first viewing and stays there forever
There’s this motivational speaker in this film… really helped me with the ladies and my daddy issues. Must love 🐸🐸
Wow. What the fuck? I need some time to digest and analyze the monster that I just sat through.
Perhaps the only Tom Cruise movie where I believe him beyond playing himself. It's odd and engaging and expertly crafted.
Literally the greatest movies of all time
I have nothing to say about this , everyone says what needs to be said for me
Style reminiscent of Robert Altman with a slice of the magical. Aimee Mann's music is great. Phillip Seymour Hoffman is perfect
Overly ambitious, but it’s a film that only PTA could have made. A cinematic antidepressant.
An intermission of coincidences in chaos, a depiction on how everyday life can be stressful, misleading, distressful and somehow beautiful
