An epic screwball adventure teeming with awe-inspiring action set pieces, One Battle After Another is Paul Thomas Anderson's most entertaining film yet while also one of his most thematically rich.

A towering achievement in Paul Thomas Anderson’s already illustrious filmography, One Battle After Another is a cinematic classic of sweeping visual grandeur that deserves to be experienced again and again, on the largest screen possible.

A-

One Battle After Another hurtles into the present without compromising Anderson’s sense of fractured, constantly rearranged, weirdly personal American history.

4/4

PTA, the preferred shorthand for the best high-wire director of his generation, wakes up the sleeping giant of American cinema by trip-wiring every scene in this radical blast of action, fun and fervor like an incendiary device that’s primed to explode.

I found the film not only predictable and boring, but also infuriating, because it celebrates the worst excesses and narcissism of armchair American leftists, doing so at the expense of believable characters and credible situations.

4.5/5

One Battle After Another is a big, brawling, literate, hellishly funny, occasionally confusing and deeply lovable film.

It's so nimble, fleet-footed and moves with such pace that you really are along for this ride from the beginning.

People need to quit glazing this film. Cinematography was great, the actors had great chemistry, and blah blah blah, but it was nearly three hours for no reason. Recommendation: have chatgpt summarize the first hour for you, then enjoy the rest of the film at your leisure.
