Michael Phillips · Chicago Tribune 100.00/100.00

The Master is brilliantly, wholly itself for a little more than half of its 137 minutes. Then it chases its own tail a bit and settles for being merely a fascinating metaphoric father-son relationship reaching endgame. It may not all "work," but most of it's remarkable.

把噗 5.00/5.00

对于大多数人而言,一部不能给予丰足的符号来让其获得解释的电影就是被失去意义的电影。诚然, 遍布可供读解的符号令人着迷,它引导出观众思维层面的潜力。但对我而言,最妙的肯定是下面这类的电影:它塑造起一个完备的世界,所有要素都坚实地浇筑于一体。我们沉潜其中,宛若偷取了一段美妙时光。

Steve Persall · Tampa Bay Times 100.00/100.00

This is a rapturous cinematic experience, a spellbinding expression of shrouded ideas and exposed talent, top to bottom.
