Called it, as did most. And: YAYYYYYYY!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

This man has been one of my all-time favorites since Magnolia back in 1999 - my fourth favorite movie of all time. I've since LOVED Boogie Nights (which came out before but I saw after), The Master (my fave of 2012), Licorice Pizza (my 2nd fave of 2021), and now this, my fave of 2025. And I enjoyed almost all of his other movies a great deal too.

I find his work to be consistently nuanced, layered, entertaining on various fronts at once, and consistently singular in vision - each is somehow both TOTALLY different from the others, and yet TOTALLY his voice. I can't wait to see what more he puts out into the world.
