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.
