Synopsis: A war veteran comes back from WWII and follows a charismatic leader in a pseudo-philosophical movement.
Review: Anderson got inspired by the Scientology for this movie. Well, he shows a white-collar criminal and the power-based relationship he has with his followers. But actually, all along the movie, I wondered: What the hell does Anderson want to show us? Not a movie for nor against sects. Not a criminal movie. Not a psychological movie on the evolution of characters. And I still do not know, I still do not see any idea. I expected something with an idea from the director of the magnificent Magnolia, and of the strong There will be blood.
