Magnolia is a mosaic of American life woven through a series of comic and poignant vignettes. Through a collusion of coincidence, change, human action, nine people will weave and wrap through each others lives on a day that builds to an unforgettable climax. Some will seek forgiveness, others escape. Some will mend frayed bonds, others will be exposed.
Director Paul Thomas Anderson coaxes outstanding performances from this ensemble cast, including a surprising turn from superstar Tom Cruise.
