Critics: Philip Seymour Hoffman is an acting powerhouse and he delivers a fantastic performance as Lancaster Dodd aka The Master.
Hoffman has such a presence in this role as he dominates and commands every scene that he is in. - FemaleFirst
- Feral, hunched, his face like a clenched fist, Phoenix's Freddie is inarticulate and blocked where Hoffman's Dodd is extravagant, loquacious and smooth, although Dodd's sudden eruptions of anger suggests a possible kinship between them beneath the skin. - MovieTalk
- It is an extraordinary film. - At The Movies
