Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master is a mesmerizing
portrait of drifters and seekers in post–World War II America. Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix), a volatile Navy
veteran adrift after the war, crosses paths with Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the magnetic
founder of a burgeoning spiritual movement known as The Cause. Drawn in by
Dodd’s authority and promises of purpose, Freddie becomes both disciple and
test case as the movement gathers devoted followers. But as their bond deepens,
Freddie begins to question the faith he embraced and the mentor who shaped his
path. A critical triumph upon release, The
Master earned three Academy Award nominations (for Phoenix,
Hoffman, and Amy Adams) cementing its status as one of Anderson’s most
acclaimed and fiercely debated works. (USA,
