The Master
Lead Actors: Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Amy Adams
Director: Paul Thomas Anderson
Release Year: 2012
Runtime: 144 minutes
A candid portrait of a what a vulnerable, directionless person is capable of believing. Joaquin Phoenix and PSH are perfect together in this dynamic, and PSH delivers as a deluded, narcissistic cult leader who has created his own reality around him. With obvious overtures to Scientology, this movie is biting yet compassionate to all the characters and their personal weaknesses
