Magnolia

Over one turbulent day in California’s San Fernando Valley, the lives of a dying father, his estranged family, a troubled young woman, a devoted caretaker, a police officer, a child prodigy, and others begin to intersect. Their separate struggles with regret, loneliness, family conflict, and the possibility of forgiveness gradually form one sprawling human drama.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you appreciate ambitious, emotionally charged ensemble dramas like American Beauty, but Not for you if you prefer concise plots, restrained emotion, or neatly resolved stories.
