Magnolia, on the other hand, is one of the few movie where I can recall leaving the theater physically angry, like I wanted to break something...
Though Magnolia is probably on my list of top 5 movies that I love, I understand and respect your sentiment. It's the kind of movie where if you love it there's a hell of a lot to love, but if you hate it it must be excessively nauseating. Other movies like it are My Dinner with Andre, which I love, but which my wife finds to be pretentious nonsense. --And yeah I can see her point. I saw it when I was 15 so, it's got the kind of lasting resonance things from our youth keep throughout our lives. Another example could be any of Terrence Malick's movies. I think anything that's really good 'art' should probably be making some people really happy and others really mad, or it's probably not worth much to anyone.
