"Starring Leonardo DiCaprio as a former member of a radical revolutionary group whose past violently comes back to haunt him, One Battle After Another is a sprawling and ambitious epic that Anderson - who wrote, produced, and directed the film - has been trying to make for decades. Loosely inspired by Thomas Pynchon's postmodern novel Vineland, which told a freewheeling saga about counterculture America from the '60s through the Reagan era, One Battle After Another is a bracingly relevant, breathlessly propulsive,"
"The term "masterpiece" gets bandied about a little too casually these days, but director Paul Thomas Anderson has no less than three in his filmography (the choice of which ones is obviously a source of furious debate amongst cinephiles). His latest feature, the darkly comic action thriller One Battle After Another, can confidently be counted as yet another. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio as a former member of a radical revolutionary group"
One Battle After Another centers on a former member of a radical revolutionary group whose violent past resurfaces. The French 75, including Pat (Leonardo DiCaprio), Perfidia (Teyana Taylor), and Deandra (Regina Hall), launch a daring heist on an immigrant detention camp that ignites a long rivalry with Col. Steven J. Lockjaw (Sean Penn). The film blends action, dark comedy, and political urgency with sweeping, episodic storytelling. The project was written, produced, and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and draws loose inspiration from Thomas Pynchon's Vineland while remaining energetically original and highly entertaining.
