One Battle after Another (movie review)
IT WAS HARD TO TELL from the title what this movie might be about, though as more was revealed, the title derived from one character’s description of the fight against tyranny and aptly so.
The movie is satirical, and more impactful for it. Like any film I enjoy, the acting rises to Art. In this case, although it’s understood to be a quantum amount tongue-in-cheek, everyone plays it straight and well.

The cast is A-list stuff. Paul Thomas Anderson (director and nominated for a Golden Globe) doesn’t make bad movies.
Leonardo was good, and occasionally comically so. I was impressed with Perfidia, played by Tayana Taylor (nominated for a Golden Globe), and also by Sean Penn (also nominated for a Golden Globe), who was stellar as an antihero named “Lockjaw.”
Benicio del Toro showed up in a minor role as well. He was nominated, but has little chance.
