Media For Brunch: The Master out in limited release, set to open wide September 21, 2012.
I was overwhelmed watching The Master last night and walked out completely confused as to whose tour de force I had seen. Was it Joaquin Phoenix’s as he disappears before your eyes and embodies the character of Fred Quell like I have seen few actors do with a role? You truly forget it is him, so deep has he plunged into his character’s soul. Maybe it was Philip Seymour Hoffman’s performance as the charismatic leader that I just could not get enough time with? Maybe it was Paul Thomas Anderson who connected me through his lens to these two actors, characters so strong and believable you just cant let go of?
The Master is not to be missed. – MD
