The Master
Set in America in the years following World War II, a charismatic intellectual (Philip Seymour Hoffman) launches a faith-based organization and taps a young drifter (Joaquin Phoenix) as his right-hand man. But as the faith begins to gain a fervent following, the onetime vagabond finds himself questioning the belief system he has embraced and his mentor.
Critic Reviews:

- " A bold, towering work that is as infuriating as it is masterful. " – Matthew Lucas
- " Fueled by a transcendent performance from Joaquin Phoenix, this is a film that from a technical standpoint is as close to perfect as any I can remember in recent memory. " – Micheal Compton
