"...A major work highly in tune with the zeitgeist..."
Ranked #5 in Rolling Stone's "Ten Best Movies of 1999" -- "...[An] emotional powerhouse..."
"...A showy flower of a movie....The big emotions bring out the best in a stellar cast..." -- Rating: B+
"...Jaw-dropping audacity....MAGNOLIA's a source of astonishment..." -- 4 out of 5 stars
"...All performances are flawless....Artful...[With a] heartbreakingly dead-on insight into the human condition..." -- 4 out of 5 stars
"...It's an impressive piece of work with some fine acting..."
"...MAGNOLIA is operatic in its ambition, a great, joyous leap into melodrama and coincidence....As its themes unfold, its characters strive against the dying of the light, and the great wheel of chance rolls on toward them..."
"Cruise isn't just self-mocking: his Mackey is fully realised."
