One Battle After Another

A cinematic orgasm.

Sorry for the crude headliner but it’s exactly how I just described it.

Paul Thomas Anderson has once again, showed why he is so beloved, with top tier filmmaking, direction and screen writing.

I don’t want to say much, because there isn’t much to say except exceptional, and probably, film of the year.

From the moment the screen comes on, the first frame, you know exactly that you are about to witness a masterpiece unravel.

Every actor within the project has been strong, with an emphasis on DiCaprio and Benicio Del Toro who give some of the best acting of their careers and of course, Sean Penn just being unrecognizable, masterful acting.

Every genre connected to this film was executed to perfection once again by one of the masters of cinema.

A true classic has been made, once again, thank you Paul Thomas Anderson

Thank you for showing us what real cinema is, in the middle of cash grab blockbusters and endless franchises.

that’s what i call 𝙖𝙗𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙚 𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙢𝙖.

first of all… the framing. the composition. the cinematography. the camera work. wow.

those car mounts dude. fuckk that was so sexy.

easily one of the most stunning static shots i’ve witnessed in a while. every shot on sticks was an absolute banger. standing ovation to the DP.

that climax had mi buzzing. those rollercoaster roads and the way it was shot…. executed perfectly to the tea.

pta absolutely cooked with the screen writing & direction of this project. i need to watch his old films caus damn this was so good.

cast is sensational. most certainly the best acting i’ve seen from dicaprio in a very very… long time.

leo speaking spanish is the most entertaining & hilarious thing i’ve ever witnessed him do on the big screen lmfao. giggled so many times throughout the entire runtime.

loved benicio’s character, such a chill guy. a sensei but badass at the same time.

props to chase infiniti for also being a badass. loved her character too.

this film has so many feelings you can’t even keep count. an absolute rollercoaster.

bit of a longer runtime than i had initially anticipated… but you don’t even feel it by how gooood the pacing is.

thank you pta for shooting beautiful cinema.

viva la revolución!

9.7 / 10

6.3/10
First act is odd. The tone, style, and storytelling all seems stitched together. I was about to label this as critic-slop when a couple of things happened and the movie found its stride.
It’s super long, it’s only 3 hours but it feels like 6. Often times it will spend too much time on unimportant scenes and not enough on important ones.
The acting is incredible but I wouldn’t watch again for a while.

8/10; Tense, and pulling, the levels to this are incredible, and they tried to make the film nostalgic with the quality of it. Sensei the best fr. Also very interesting and amazing commentary on society.

Slower than expected but incredibly told story
