JTF said PTA-lite, I say it's PTA deconstructed. I feel like he's carving an interesting path with this one.

Quite a lot of films that I watch are character driven. The majority fall into that wider category of drama films that tend to be character driven and/or very thematically driven. I think that my dislike of certain movies of the sort comes down to other things, but it's not always easy to pinpoint exactly why a movie just isn't clicking.

The main reason why I feel like I ought to actually give it another chance is this: I'm not sure I actually made it all the way through back then. Plus it was a long, long time ago. Plus I've liked those other movies by the same directer that I've watched since.

I won't say anything about it, then.

EDIT: Didn't realize Magnolia was also PTA. Need to see that one again. It's been so long I can't remember anything except Tom Cruise's character in the movie.

No, those two definitely go a lot lower. TWBB is beautifully shot, well acted, has a great concept, and has a great score, but it's somehow lacking something a fundamental way. By the end of the movie, I found myself just not really caring. The Master was like that too, but with less impressive cinematography and a less memorable score.

They're less traditionally structured and better for it. Rethink your life.

I'll chime in...

There Will Be Blood>The Master>Magnolia>Boogie Nights>Punch Drunk Love>Inherent Vice>Hard Eight

I have't see The Phantom Thread yet. Frown is right though. TWBB is one of the best films of all time.

I remember both of them being pretty much linear life-story type movies.
