The Master
After returning from the Second World War, a psychologically troubled drifter returns from the war and meets the charismatic leader of a new religion. The Master befriends the drifter to help him sort out his life and provide meaning. The drifter becomes his right-hand man and, after a while begins to question both his belief in the leader and his teachings as the organization grows and gains a fervent following.

Writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson crafts engrossing, big-canvas character studies, from the cheesy '70s porn star of Boogie Nights and the gritty oilman of early-20th-century America in There Will Be Blood to the interwoven lives of contemporary L.A. in Magnolia. But The Master may go down as one of his most compelling works for two simple reasons: Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
There's the added heat generated by the subject matter -- the inner world of a religion that seems suspiciously like Scientology -- but that would matter little if the performances weren't so riveting.
