Story

Set in America in the years following World War II, a charismatic intellectual (Hoffman) launches a faith-based organization and taps a young drifter (Phoenix) as his right-hand man. But as the faith begins to gain a fervent following, the onetime vagabond finds himself questioning the belief system he has embraced, and his mentor.

REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..The Master already feels like a landmark American movie. It makes words like 'bold' and 'extraordinary' seem utterly inadequate..”
by Robbie Collin [Daily Telegraph]
“..often-maddening ways it manifests in the present through incredible performances and direction..”
by Charlie Schmidilin [The Playlist]
“..The Master is neither a masterpiece nor, exactly, a Hubbard expose..”
by Richard Corliss [TIME Magazine]
