The Master (2012)

I didn't love it. PSH and JP performances were obvious strong points, but I just thought the story lost focus at times. I didn't like the way the principal dynamic of the story centered around how JP's character related to the "Cause". While still very good, I was disappointed.

  1. smitty that's a really good point keith ... i think the answer is that, like every other "film" that comes out of hollywood (as compared to europe, asia, etc.), it emphasizes performance over story, i.e. plot is secondary to the actors' screen time. my high rating of the film blatantly ignores that, however ... i'll admit i gets right giddy when i encounter someone who actually *can* shoot a picture, frame a scene, edit a story, write a score, build a set, etc. quite well. on all those counts, this film is excellent. but again, you're point is a good one.
