REVIEWS RATE:  Critics  Go! Watch this movie. You'll regret if not seeing it.    Readers  5 of 5 [Rate It]

“..with its bravura technique and superbly synched turns from Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman, the Weinstein Co. release should generate robust returns and furious discussion long after its hugely anticipated Sept. 14 bow..”
by Justin Chang [Variety]
“..this is the kind of film that gets richer and more beautiful in multiple viewings and for years to come. And that is the true test of art..”
by David Poland [Movie City News]
3.5 of 5

“..The Master won't likely surpass the audience of his earlier masterstroke..”
by Sara Maria Vizcarrondo [Boxoffice Magazine]
“..The Master is neither a masterpiece nor, exactly, a Hubbard expose..”
by Richard Corliss [TIME Magazine]

by Robbie Collin [Daily Telegraph]
Review rate : B+

“..often-maddening ways it manifests in the present through incredible performances and direction..”
by Charlie Schmidilin [The Playlist]

by Peter Bradshaw [The Guardian]

by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter]

HE'S WAY MORE FAMOUS THAN YOU :

“..the farce is so light on its feet that it's buoyant..”
by Sheri Linden [LA Times]

REVENGE FOR JOLLY! :

“..I suggest you pass and maybe grab it from Redbox or VOD or something..”

THE GREAT GATSBY :

“..a hugely elaborate, well-cast adaptation of an American classic that will provoke every possible reaction..”
by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter]

PEEPLES :

“..Tina Gordon Chism keeps the innocuous class-meets-crass jokes bubbling, and the actors are amiable, but Peeples often seems to want to turn these characters into benignly goofy role models. Maybe that's why the basic comic collision never explodes..”
by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly]
