Very uninteresting film about a cult that had nothing behind its mission. If that was the point, then it was made. I would hope any filmmaker worth his salt, and one with an impeccable resume to date, would not have made such a film, but all the greats have a failure or three on their resume. Acting was great, even though Phoenix had many lines that were close to unintelligible because of his bizarre speech pattern. Music was close to annoying at times. I have to add for a two and a half hour film, the pacing was fine even though the story was fairly dull. I guess Anderson deserves props for that.
Pros great actors
No, I do not recommend this movie.
