Movie Review: The Master
Quinn 2022-04-19 09:01:49
7.5 points. I was a little disappointed after watching it, probably because my expectations were too high. The rhythm of the whole movie is suspected of being out of control, procrastinating and lacking in drama, or, in other words, being too gentle. The only thing I liked is the scene where the master confronts the doubters, which is a rather sharp confrontation. After all, for cults, the only way to deal with rational doubts is to use subjective propositions to steal concepts. Hoffman's performance is still wonderful, but a little bit too much. I think Phoenix's performance is a little too hard. But overall, relative to the story, the performance is still the biggest highlight.
