“Couldn't agree more that the movie "sagged terribly" in the middle. Very inconsistent pace and pretty disappointing.”

“Dear Ms. Hoffman--- I agree with your notes on "The Master." I enjoyed your use of the term "bullshit artist." It was a favorite term of my late father. Thanks for using it. Dad had a bit of Freddie in him, too.”
