The-master--3 About
The Master

I pretty much loathed this film right from the first frame. I couldn't empathize with any of it's aspects: Phoenix's character is a one-dimensional and throughly disgusting bore, and I don't really see what profoundness the characters find in the Master's philosophy and exercises, nor do I understand why they'd revere him so. Anderson likes a slow and "meditative" pace, but there's not much to meditate on here.
