Comment on 'The Master' and existentialism [x-post from r/philosophy]

'The Master' and existentialism [x-post from r/philosophy]

Just finished watching The Master for the second time, and i was wondering if, in addition to being a thinly veiled critique and expose of Scientology, am I right in picking up some existentialist themes? In my analysis, Freddie Quill seems to be the epitome of a man in existentialist angst who has no idea what to do with his freedom and looking for some grid through which to make sense of his life experience.
