Genres & Description

Action Drama

8.0 / 10

24 hours in L.A.; it's raining cats and dogs. Two parallel and intercut stories dramatize men about to die: both are estranged from a grown child, both want to make contact, and neither child wants anything to do with dad. Earl Partridge's son is a charismatic misogynist; Jimmy Gator's daughter is a cokehead and waif. A mild and caring nurse intercedes for Earl, reaching the son; a prayerful and upright beat cop meets the daughter, is attracted to her, and leads her toward a new calm. Meanwhile, guilt consumes Earl's young wife, while two whiz kids, one grown and a loser and the other young and pressured, face their situations. The weather, too, is quirky.

This film destroyed "The cuerdera philosophy" forever. Masterpiece. - @Monday, December 10, 2018 3:38 AM

This is my favorite movie of all time and is so underrated - @Sunday, December 9, 2018 9:45 PM

I sat stock still for a good 10 minutes in front of the tv in my parents house after seeing this film with tears in my eyes. I was reeling from the shock of it. That was 16 years ago. Its still very affecting. One of the most moving films ever made and most influential - the use of music to "drive" the film forward and of using several conjoined narratives has become commonplace in films and tv. - @Tuesday, October 30, 2018 3:25 PM

The ending of this trailer makes me laugh every time I watch it. Literally every single time after Tom said "Oh God..", It follows with a chuckle. It's like PTA's personal train of thought, using that bit to communicate with us that, "Hey, I know this story is mega complex and it really is almost impossible to cut a trailer out of. So this is really the best I can do (and it really is) but is that still unclear for you? Do you get it?" HAHAHA - @Wednesday, March 21, 2018 8:17 PM

I should've KNOWN it was from the same director as Boogie Nights. Given it's San Fernando "Silicone Valley" setting. - @Friday, January 19, 2018 6:57 AM

I wish P.T. Anderson would make a movie like this again. I love 'There Will Be Blood' and pretty much everything he's done, but 'Magnolia' was something special. - @Thursday, December 21, 2017 10:15 AM

My least favourite movie of all time, but I can see why people like it so much. Boogie Nights and There Will Be Blood are great, but I found Magnolia to be just extraordinarily pretentious. - @Saturday, June 3, 2017 11:26 PM
