One of the best films I've seen, especially the psychosis scene where the room it torn apart to show a film set.

films that can tell a story through minimal explanation or make a point without saying it. Enter the Void and Under the Skin are both similar and both do fantastic jobs of this too, glad to add Requiem of a Dream to this list!

recommendations for similar please :)

Also i have compiled a list of my top films if you wish to look:

I rewatched Magnolia recently and am blown away with the film as a whole. It has such good acting, writing and flow. Like Requiem it has converging story lines and characters that are flawed yet endearing. William H Macy is fantastic. Tom Cruise as an incel leader is pretty great too. That character would definitely be an Andrew Tate style influencer now. I also love how Patton Oswalt is in the movie for 30 seconds just to die a darwin award style death (first 5 min of movie, not a spoiler). Magnolia is a total gem IMO.

Fantastic film. Once my kid is old enough I am forcing them to watch it. It made more of an impression on me of the dangers of drug use than any high school education programme could have ever dreamed of.
