I love this movie except for a few blah moments. Like when they’re all singing that song in their various moments was weird.
Otherwise, it is great.

I would encourage you to ask yourself why you find direction like this off-putting and see if you reach a deeper appreciation for the film.
Magnolia is a straight-up melodrama that deliberately challenges and manipulates you emotionally. PTA took a genre primarily reserved for trashy network made-for-TV movies and miniseries, and attempted to make meaningful art with it. I think it's too easy to dismiss some genre conventions and pretend Magnolia is a good movie in spite of them rather than because of them. But I could be wrong.
