Paul Thomas Anderson's hugely ambitious epic follows a group of interrelated characters in search of love, forgiveness and meaning in the San Fernando Valley, set over the course of 24 momentous hours.
"'Magnolia' is a film of sadness and loss, of lifelong bitterness, of children harmed and adults destroying themselves. As the narrator tells us near the end, 'We may be through with the past, but the past is never through with us.' It is one of those rare films that works in two entirely different ways. In one sense, it tells absorbing stories, filled with detail, told with precision and not a little humor. On another sense, it is a parable. The message of the parable, as with all good parables, is expressed not in words but in emotions.
"After we have felt the pain of these people, and felt the love of the policeman and the nurse, we have been taught something intangible, but necessary to know. That Paul Thomas Anderson thinks and creates in this way is proven again in his subsequent, 'There Will Be Blood'. It is another film with an enigmatic ending, one that "Magnolia" teaches me I will have to think more carefully about." -- Roger Ebert
