Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   N/A Source Brief Review CBC Infoculture: Director P. T. Anderson finds order in chaos and cliche "Well, at three hours long and featuring a cast the size of a small city, Magnolia would have to be one of the most chaotic movies I've ever seen." more... Channel 2000: Well-Acted 'Magnolia' Meanders "Well-acted 'Magnolia' meanders: Cruise and cast in control, but story not tight enough." more... culturevulture.net "'Magnolia' takes place in the course of a single day that sees major changes occur in the lives of ten people living in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley. more... Eyepiece "A faceless narrator ruminates on the nature of chance and fate by telling of three different inexplicable occurrences through time." more... Flick Filosopher: Matters of Chance "'If that was in a movie, I wouldn't believe it.' So says a character in Magnolia after an astounding occurrence, and that warped self-reference just about sums up how daring this film is." more... James Berardinelli (3.5 out of 4 stars) "With 'Magnolia,' director Paul Thomas Anderson has segued into the realm of the three hour movie." more... JoBlo's Movie Emporium "A wonderfully crafted picture, this movie sweeps you through the lives of many interesting characters, develops several extremely memorable sequences which will likely stick in your mind for years to come, and offers many of today's top character actors in top form." more... Salon "Even with a stellar cast, director Paul Thomas Anderson's 'Boogie Nights' follow-up flounders without a punchline." more... SF Examiner: 'Magnolia' in full bloom "With his first film since 'Boogie Nights,' 30-year-old writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson has changed his first name to 'P.T.,' which puts him in the company of initials-first writers such as T.S. Eliot and E.M. Forster." more... Spliced Online: An Elegant Exposé of Human Frailty "Cruise a stand-out in engrossing mosaic of intricate everyday characters bulldozed by emotion." more... Time "Paul Thomas Anderson is out to prove the obvious: that we live in a chance universe, that coincidence and mishap play a larger role in our destinies than we like to think." more...
