An epic mosaic of interrelated characters in search of love, forgiveness, and meaning in the San Fernando Valley.
A great movie by PTA, director of many other great movies (Licorice Pizza, Inherent Vice, Hard Eight, Phantom Thread), with a solid A-list cast (Tom Cruise, Jason Robards, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, William H. Macy, John C. Reilly, Philip Baker Hall, and many others), a great story with excellent pacing. This is a three hour movie but you won’t feel them, as it’s packed with a lot of stuff happening. It’s lovely to see stories unfold and blend and seeing them interacting with each other and turning into a single one. Oh, and the music is unbelievably good.
This is something that happens
