Preface, I like dark movies and character studies, but.....
.... I still don't understand why "The Master" still gets such rave reviews. Yes, Joaquin Phoenix' performance is top notch, but to me it was as unsettling to watch as was "Leaving Las Vegas" a dozen or so years ago, or, "Punch Drunk Love" with Adam Sandler in a dramatic turn. Sometimes I somehow miss the nuance which the critics rave over.
