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).

🏆 Winner of Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay at the 2026 Academy Awards.

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

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
