- M. LamSean Penn Understood the Assignment—and Then Redefined ItI pressed play on One Battle After Another expecting a solid, respectable drama. What I got instead was a full-blown cinematic reckoning that grabbed me by the lapels, made aggressive eye contact, and refused to let go until the credits rolled. This movie is immaculately constructed, relentlessly absorbing, and so confident in its storytelling that it feels almost confrontational—like it knows it’s good and dares you to keep up.
The film moves with deliberate intensity, layering tension through accumulation rather than spectacle. Every scene feels consequential, every conversation weighted with subtext, consequence, and a creeping sense of inevitability. There’s no wasted motion here—just a steady, inexorable march toward emotional and thematic payoff. It’s the kind of movie that makes you sit up straighter without realizing it.
And then there’s Sean Penn—absolutely diabolical in the best possible way. His antagonist isn’t loud, flashy, or cartoonishly evil. Instead, Penn opts for something far more unsettling: quiet authority, controlled menace, and the terrifying confidence of someone who believes he’s already won. Every time he appears on screen, the movie’s blood pressure spikes. This is villainy rendered with surgical precision—less mustache-twirling, more existential dread.
The rest of the film rises to meet that energy, balancing gravitas with narrative clarity and emotional intelligence. It’s serious without being pretentious, intense without being exhausting, and smart without ever feeling smug. By the end, I realized I hadn’t checked my phone once—which, in today’s attention economy, might be the highest compliment I can give.
Bottom line: One Battle After Another is one of those rare films that feels important without announcing itself as such. It’s rigorous, gripping, and deeply satisfying—proof that when filmmakers respect the audience’s intelligence, the payoff is exponentially richer. - CanteenboyLeftist don't make good movies.Avoid at all cost.....even if it's only $7 dollars to rent.
- Customer ReviewBest film of 2025Long time Paul Thomas Anderson fan, although I never was fully satisfied after the 1-2 punch of boogie nights and magnolia. With that said, this was a revelation. Loved it so much. I saw it twice within three days in IMAX in Seattle. The first time was just to experience it, the second time was to enjoy it. There’s so much humor, but on the first viewing, it was Intense from the get-go and I was on the edge of my seat all the way through. It was only on the second viewing that I could really lean into it, relax, and appreciate the beauty and the humor. And there’s a lot of both. Easily my favorite movie of the last few years. Most of the negative reviews are coming from Fox nation, if you know what I mean.
- James ColemanI'm calling in a Greyhawk 10This film is a modern masterpiece. Given the current sociopolitical landscape, Paul Thomas Anderson delivers an exceptional cinematic experience, bolstered by an outstanding ensemble cast.
Initially, the movie's opening sequence is somewhat disorienting, as it immediately immerses the viewer into the narrative. We are first introduced to Bob, portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio, a former member of the revolutionary group known as the French 75. Now a disillusioned and washed-up revolutionary, Bob exists in a state of drug-induced paranoia, surviving off the grid with his spirited and self-reliant daughter, Willa, played by the talented Chase Infiniti. When his nemesis, portrayed by the accomplished Sean Penn, resurfaces and Willa goes missing, Bob scrambles to find her, as both father and daughter grapple with the repercussions of their pasts.
Also starring Benicio Del Toro, Teyana Taylor, Regina Hall, Wood Harris, Tony Goldwyn, and Jim Downey. - Steve DouglasOne Battle After Another.....insomnia cureI started the afternoon with a recording off Netflix of 'One Battle After Another'. This movie clocks in at 2 hr 42 minutes which made it, IMO, 2 hours too long. This will be the shortest review of it on record. I thought it was one ultra long mish mash of a confusing mess. While the acting was just fine with Sean Penn playing a stiff military officer with a penchant for black women and Leonardo DiCaprio playing a former college age rebel now seeking only to have a family life for his young daughter, the movie criss crosses a crossword puzzle of events going nowhere. Nothing led to nothing and nothing made much sense to me. I made it to the 1 hr 50 min mark before I realized I had fallen dead asleep from boredom and I just shut the whole thing off. In my book, terrible film even though I just know it will be up for Academy Awards; but for what, I haven't a clue.
- Darth TurtleDisappointingIs this the dumbest movie I’ve seen this year? It’s a contender for that title. But it sort of grows on you in the second half, though it’s a long ride past some stupid to get there.
The writing is either poor or it’s quality writing about exceedingly stupid, one dimensional characters. I think the former to some degree, at least for purposes of the screen play. I can’t believe the novel did this. One impossible, impractical event after another does not a good movie make.
One aside - there is a 16 year span between the first half of the movie and the second half - and all of the actors look EXACTLY the same as they did 16 years earlier. Send help.
In summary, it’s disappointing considering the cast. Especially the first half, as some admitted fun in the second helps rescue the experience. That noted, the dumbest caricatures of both sides of the extreme, paranoid political divide are brought to the silver screen to suck away more than two hours of your life in relative mediocrity, silly stereotypes and just a bit of fun - but not enough.
And the very, very, very end with the letter is wretch inducing.
