  Amazed I NEVER knew about the frog thing. Like that was never spoiled for me. That was an amazing twist. Can you even call it a twist? Is this how people felt when Darth Vader said that thing? That was such a 2020 thing to happen. I screamed "FROGS???" to an empty room.

  Quite possibly the quickest 3 hours ever. An all around mesmerizing film from beginning till end. I am also truly shocked at how good John C. Reilly was.

  THE SOUNDTRACK IS AMAZING!

  Review by Craig Duffy ★★★★★ 6

  Film students and critics love to make a big deal about the "showy" moments in this movie. They go on about the long takes, the prologue, the hidden 82s, the narration, the sing-a-long and the frogs. It's kind of hard not to. And with an epic run-time of 188 minutes, there is no shortage of "showy" acting as well. Not a single moment comes easy. People hurt and people get hurt. Every single character is an exposed raw nerve. So yeah, there is a lot to chew on in this film both emotionally and aesthetically. But I think what brings people back again and again is actually something rather simple. They just like the reassuring message that no matter how bad things get, the rain will eventually stop...when you wise up.

  "Flower Power"

  A Big Titted Analysis

  Everyone loved Paul Thomas Anderson’s melodramatic opera, “Magnolia”, back in 1999, except Kevin Smith (but fuck that guy because he hasn’t made a good film since “Dogma” as far as I know - I haven’t seen “Red State”, so maybe I shouldn’t say that but still fuck him because he has a different opinion than mine). Everyone who does enjoy 'Magnolia' has sited the acting, the music, and the Altmanesquenessness in it. Some of you may have some questions about the shower of frogs sequence, and possibly a few harsh feelings towards some of the characters. Here's what I think:

  When I die I want this scene to be played at my funeral.

  "Motherfucker. Motherfucker. You fucking asshole. Who the fuck are you? Who the fuck do you think you are? I come in here, you don't know me, you don't know who I am, what my life is, you have the balls, the indecency to ask me a question about my life? Fuck you, too. Don't call me "lady". I come in here, I give these things to you, you check, you make your phone calls, look suspicious, ask questions. I'm sick. I have sickness all around me and you fucking ask me about my life? "What's wrong?" Have you seen death in your bed? In your house? Where's your fucking decency? And then I'm asked fucking questions. What's... wrong? You suck my dick. That's what's wrong. And you, you fucking call me "lady"? Shame on you. Shame on you. Shame on both of you."

  "Sounds sad as a weeping willow." - Thurston Howell

  You know that beautiful, wonderous feeling when a film comes along and absolutely knocks you for six? When a film comes along and puts you through the emotional wringer? When a film leaves you drained, yet strangely invigorated? Yeah, this is what Magnolia has done to me.

  There is no plausible way to express how much emotion and atmosphere this film gives off. From the unorthodox beginning to the uplifting end, this is a masterpiece of the most visceral proportions. There were moments in this that hit so close to home it was scary. All of the illness themes were an absolute sucker-punch for me, and they'll no doubt stay with…

  Part Nine of Preparing (As Much As Humanly Possible) For Inherent Vice

  A messy, audacious, operatic, and deeply human study of forgiveness; a film made by a master filmmaker at his most vulnerable and tender. I've struggled with this film over the years, but I truly adore it now. Beautiful and passionate filmmaking at an unspeakably high level, Magnolia is an emotional rollercoaster.
