Ebert Did It Better: Gasbag Reviews

The Master – 2012

Written and Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson
Starring Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, Ambyr Childers, Jesse Plemmons, Rami Malek, Laura Dern

I tried, folks.  It sucked.  This is what you get when you start writing with no end in mind, using stories of drunkenness in the Navy from Jason Robards and L. Ron Hubbard’s early days as wavering goal posts?  Let’s stop giving credit to those who pick on weirdos.  And for God’s sake, do you have to make the soundtrack more grating than the movie?

I’m out.
