Critics Consensus

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.

Audience Says

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.

Peter Travers

The Travers Take

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.

Rated: 4/4

Los Angeles Times

The excellent performances of DiCaprio and Del Toro bring a deep sense of humanism to two characters who, given the dramatic tone employed, always run the risk of coming across as caricatured stereotypes. [Full review in Spanish]

Yes, the revolution has been cinematized. Sometimes it’s a clear vision. Sometimes not.

While competently made, OBAO is one of the most cynical, disrespectful "I'm smarter than everyone else" films ever made. So many questionable decisions, it's sad that this film will be considered one of the best of the year by most critics.

Rated: D+

One need not cast doubt upon the sincerity of anyone who proclaims this to be vital and sustaining cinema to observe that one person’s masterpiece can be another’s radical treacle.

There is nothing wrong with a Black female character who is sexual. Scandal, Greenleaf and Being Mary Jane made sure to cover that ground. But sexuality is fraught for Black women too, and it’s clear that PTA did not bother to engage with that reality.

PTA delivers again. The acting , directing and the writing were sensational. Definitely could have shaved 20 minutes but well worth the watch!

Other than the performances from DiCaprio and Del Toro, not the worst movie I’ve seen this year but also not the best like everybody says it just felt like controlled chaos random at points with a clear finish

Super entertaining, well paced and great performances! The car chase sequence was totally unique and mind bending in its own way. The story felt relevant to today with being too on the nose. Really great film!
