      EJ Moreno reviews One Battle After Another…

      Could it be that Paul Thomas Anderson is at his peak? With One Battle After Another, we witness the filmmaker taking bold, extravagant steps, and presenting a distinctly modern vision. In other words, this is the film that feels essential at this moment.

      In this nearly flawless masterpiece, PTA brings forth an absolute political horror show, a father/daughter saga, and Leonardo DiCaprio enjoying himself like never before. One Battle After Another embodies the worst fears of every Republican and could ignite the cinematic revolution we've been longing for.

      The film features a cast that includes DiCaprio, Benicio del Toro, Sean Penn, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Chase Infiniti, Wood Harris, and Alana Haim. Check out the review below, and don't forget to follow us on YouTube for more reviews, exclusive interviews, and additional video content…
