Before Paul Thomas Anderson’s notable presence at the 2026 Academy Awards, he created the intense film The Master, which is now leaving streaming services. Released in 2012, it stars Joaquin Phoenix as Freddie Quell, a troubled drifter influenced by Lancaster Dodd, portrayed by Philip Seymour Hoffman. The film challenges viewers with its complexity, making it less accessible but highly engaging. Critics highlight Phoenix’s unsettling performance and Hoffman’s compelling portrayal of Dodd. Prime subscribers have until March 31 to watch The Master before it vanishes from their watchlists.
