... movie "The Master" - with Joaquin Phoenix, and always 'masterful' Philip Seymour Hoffman, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.

The story could be about the early days of L. Ron Hubbard and cult of Scientology, however the connection is irrelevant, so as the interpretation of the movie itself.

What was incredible - the acting 'duel' between Phoenix�s character Freddie Quell and Hoffman's Lancaster Dodd.

I thought Joaquin Phoenix was very convincing and Hoffman phoned it in a bit - PhilJ 19:24:17 07/19/13 (0)
overall a lovingly crafted film that was mostly successful

My vote for the winner of the "duel", Hoffman. He doesn't lose many others either - Road Warrior 13:27:18 07/19/13 (1)
Not to take anything away from Phoenix's performance, he nailed his character as well.
