Washed-up revolutionary Bob (Leonardo DiCaprio) exists in a state of paranoia, surviving off-grid with his spirited, self-reliant daughter, Willa (Chase Infiniti). When Colonel Steven J. Lockjaw (Sean Penn) – a nemesis from Bob’s past life – resurfaces after 16 years and Willa goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her.

Director Paul Thomas Anderson has a lot on his mind in this rip-roaring rollercoaster of an American epic, contrasting themes of fascism, community, and revolution against a very personal story of a father reckoning with the world he’s brought his daughter into. Darkly funny and packed with memorable characters, this highly acclaimed, of-the-moment thriller demands to be seen on the big screen.


★★★★★ “A bizarre action thriller driven by pulpy comic-book energy and transformed political indignation, [Anderson] keeping his pedal at all times welded to the metal.” – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

★★★★★ “For all of One Battle After Another’s formalist pleasures – its humour, its pace, its grandeur – what feels the most striking about it, in this apocalyptic now, is the hope that it chooses to leave us with.” – Clarisse Loughrey, The Independent (UK)

“A film that is built from many extraordinary constituent parts… [but] it’s how all these elements work in concert that really makes it sing.” – David Jenkins, Little White Lies
