Magnolia (1999)

Three hours of people drowning and none of them know how to ask for help. Earl Partridge dying and unable to undo decades of absence. Frank Mackey performing masculinity so aggressively it takes a while to realize it's grief. Claudia can't stop destroying herself. All of them connected by threads they can't see.

Then it rains frogs. Which is either absurd or honest, because sometimes the world is so stuck that nothing short of something biblical can interrupt it. The frogs don't explain anything. They just make everyone stop. And in that pause, some of them find enough to start again. #Cinema
