Actually never seen Magnolia smh. It’s the only PTA film I have yet to see

Just came back from seeing it. Gonna keep this short and say it's absolutely f***ing incredible and a must-watch. 99% confident it's going to be my favorite movie of the year next to The Last Black Man in San Francisco

Nationwide release is this weekend:

This movie was mediocre at best. I felt like this movie didn’t really have a sense of direction. This movie heavenly relied on the soundtrack a lot of it was unneeded there was points where the movie needed to breath and speak for itself but it never did because the music would just come in. There was one point it felt like I was watching music video to blond, it felt like this movie was made by mtv and not a24. I was thinking this was gonna be like a more relatable easier to understand version of tree of life, but then it just turn into a teen movie real quick. The second half of the movie was better than the first. The best scene was when the daughter is talking to the dad.

I saw title and immediately thought of Wav files

damn this got soundtrack of the year

movie needed more Frank Ocean

I wouldn't say this movie is mediocre, but I do agree with you on the soundtrack. I felt like a lot of songs were not good selections and relied too heavily on them. Some songs didn't need to be there and it felt like the director just got his playlist and put it in the movie. But still, I very much enjoyed this movie tho. 8/10.

Really? The songs felt random as hell tbh.

STEP UP IN THIS B**** LIKE

Cinematography was best of the year, acting was great from everyone. Only gripe I have is the writing but other than that the movie was hard af

Music felt a bit too on the nose at times but some choices worked very well.

only song choice that was kinda cringe to me was ifhy during the breakup scene

This movie made me happy that I’m no longer a teenager because that s*** is cringy as f***. And made me feel like I have a music taste of a teenager time to start listening more to slow dive and Grateful Dead

I really did not care for this. I thought it was aggressively off-putting and I thought Shults disappeared inside his own a****** trying to be Malick.

Also thought it was noticeably underwritten, which is why the style and editing choices were so aggressive.

Haven't cried this much in a theater before

Such a beautiful and resonating story

"I just want us to be a family again..."

also Trey Edward Shults is such a real one for including so much Endless Frank

Easily my favorite film of the year. It’s an emotional roller coaster

This s*** labeled as a drama/musical 🤔

This film is a perfect example of style reaching its maximum potential but falling flat in terms of substance.

1st half of this movie is so much more engaging than the 2nd half, The Place Beyond The Pines is a great body of work that shows how a two-part structure can work cohesively. So I wish that Shults could've took notes on what made TBTP work well as a two-part story.

I wish that Shults had a Black executive producer/writer who had a role in creative control, wouldn't be surprised that he had a ton of "Yes" men in his circle throughout production. It would've been great to have a Black mind throw in some direction for scenes that involved Tyler, Emily, and their parents.

It also could've been 15-20 minutes shorter, but I respect Shults for wanting an equal amount of time between Emily and Tyler's arcs.

Cinematography was lovely, but it did get hella repetitive at times with certain angles/pans being used. Kelvin Harrison Jr and Sterling K. Brown were excellent on-screen together. Soundtrack was solid, a few songs there-and-there that felt out of place.

There's a handful of missed opportunities that prevent this from being a classic, but it's an enjoyable piece of art that I wouldn't mind watching again.

8/10

Wholeheartedly agree with this.

He directed, written, and co-produced this flick.

My gut instincts are telling me that Shults had a huge influence towards this film.

anybody got a link? 2 lazy to go to theaters

This was alright but saw someone describe it as the pinnacle reddit hiphopheads movie
