The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

PTA is a great writer and has an exceptional eye for cinema. Clearly, he knows how to choose his collaborators too, considering the great score (Greenwood), cinematography (Malaimare Jr.) and acting (brilliant Phoenix, Hoffman and Adams).

To be honest I really don't know what I saw but what I saw it was really beautiful Phoenix has given a lifetime of his performance Anderson is a different kind of director he wants audience to think what is going on them in the movie to understand the significance of every scene Anderson want to show every detail in the movie and wants audience to enjoy that and think over it I don't know Philip Seymour Hoffman earlier but now with seeing this kind of performance this kind of character driven actor he has also given greatest performance . There should be fixed to Oscar to this 2 actors of this beautiful film

I feel like this movie will become more appreciated over time. In my opinion Joaquin Phoenix and Seymour Hoffman give two of the greatest performances i have ever seen- the complexity of both characters and their relationship really being the centre of the film. Although it takes a while to get off the ground, if you're interested in character heavy drama, this is a must see.
