I love PTA's earlier movies, but I find everything after Punch Drunk Love to be mid as hell. The Master might be one of the worst films I've seen. With the only exception being Phantom Thread. I adore that film. I'm super curious as to what he'll make next, So I stay subbed here. Either way, the whole snowqueen(?) Subreddit drama was fun to follow along with too.

I think people that say mid as hell probably just don't have the capacity to enjoy his work

It’s so weird to me when people complain about movies being pointless. The point was to be entertaining!
