What critics are saying about One Battle After Another

In One Battle... most of the characters have to operate in one lane emotionally, so I missed the deep character detail of some of his other films. But bottom line, One Battle After Another is the real deal. It’s pure cinema: bold, challenging, complex, and riveting.

Review: P.T. Anderson's Glorious "One Battle After Another"

One Battle After Another is at once serious and unserious, exciting and baffling, a tonal fusion sending that crazy fizz across the VistaVision screen – an acquired taste, yes, but addictive. The title itself hints at an unending culture war presented as a crazily extreme action movie with superbly managed car chases and a final, dreamlike and hypnotic succession of three cars through the undulating hills.
