P.T. Anderson's Magnolia is a visual symphony of emotion, reflection and brilliant characters, orchestrated by a script that makes you forget normal conceptions of time. The film ranges from symbolically interpretable to beautiful clarity, but never ventures into the blatant. Anderson seems to really care for and understand each of the characters, yet avoids heavy handed judgement or swelling violins to get his thoughts across. Insightful, provocative and compelling, Magnolia brings art to the American cinema.
