“I’m an unnatural mother” - ‘the Lost Daughter’ explores the pressure of motherhood and the trauma passed down through generations of mothers trapped in the conventions of family life. Every shot, element and interaction is carefully crafted to paint a picture of a mother who is desperately unhappy with the choices she has taken in life. The mastery of this film cannot be underestimated. Newly converted Maggie Gyllenhaal fan.

The intersecting and complex lives of Magnolia’s protagonists exemplify the richness of the human experience. PTA’s thought-provoking screenplay is accompanied by symbolism throughout the film, adding layers and depth to a film that would be spectacular for its screenplay alone. Magnolia isn’t something you watch once and forget about - it’s a film that you watch sporadically throughout your lifetime, learning something new with every viewing.
On a side note, wtf are the frogs and the musical number about ??
