Magnolia (1999)
Magnolia is an ensemble piece, knitting together the fortunes of people in search of love and forgiveness as they go about their lives in the course of 24 hours. The cast includes Jason Robards in his final role, Tom Cruise in what many consider to be his best performance, and Julianne Moore in a moving portrayal of a gold-digging wife-turned-loving widow. The movie also features equally strong performances from John C. Reilly, Philip Baker Hall, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and William H. Macy. The rain of frogs may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it brings Anderson's story of redemption to a fitting close.
