"Magnolia" is Paul Thomas Anderson's crowing achievement. Sure, "There Will Be Blood" was excellent, as was "Boogie Nights" and "Punch-Drunk Love," but this movie is truly amazing. Anderson takes as many thoughts and philosophies as he can and creates, through means of INCREDIBLE performers, stories that touch every aspect of human life. There are haunting similarities between these characters who are only slightly connected to each other. A mosaic of themes and powers, this is a touching tale of tragedy and comedy intermingled and married to heartache and hilarity.
