Plot

Several interwoven stories of troubled people in Los Angeles unfold over a single day.

Sinekatalog’s take

Paul Thomas Anderson weaves a day in the lives of troubled Los Angeles characters, bound by chance. Long, operatic and ambitious, with Tom Cruise's ferocious turn and a famously strange rain of frogs.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
