One Battle After Another15

Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson | USA | 2025 | 2h 41m | Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor

A washed-up revolutionary drifts through life in stoned paranoia, living off the grid with his spirited, self-reliant daughter. When his ruthless nemesis reappears and his daughter disappears, he must confront both danger and the consequences of their pasts. Leonardo DiCaprio stars in this loose adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s ‘Vineland’, a sharp and thrilling political satire from master filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood, The Master).

Reviews

‘We’re used to Anderson, the director of There Will Be Blood and Phantom Thread, coming back with a surprise up his sleeve. But even so, it’s hard to overstate just how electrifyingly improbable his latest picture is.’
★★★★★
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph

‘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.’
★★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
