Magazine Dreams | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

While the story isn't the best and it has a third act that almost derails the entire movie, Johnathan Majors is absolutely captivating. This is the first must see performance of the year.

A quaking mix of Taxi Driver and Whiplash that wades through the festering trenches of a man borne of rage...Jonathan Majors, in an unforgettable turn, escapes into Killan Maddox’s toxic gumbo of self-imposed pressure.

Masterful, Uncomfortable, terrifying, intense, & unforgettable experience. Part Whiplash, Part Taxi Driver, & overall the character study of one man’s Mental Illness & obsession.

Jonathan Majors excels in Magazine Dreams, but the film is too artificial to measure up to Taxi Driver, from which it clearly takes inspiration.

Magazine Dreams needed a few more passes at the screenplay stage to come up to the level its brilliant central performance deserves.
