About One Battle After Another
The film revolves around a washed-up former revolutionary, Bob, who lives off-grid with his spirited daughter, Willa. Their secluded life is shattered when Bob's nemesis, a man known as Lockjaw, resurfaces after 16 years, leading to Willa's disappearance and forcing Bob to confront his violent past to rescue her. The film was released in theatres on September 26.
An excerpt from the HT review of the film read, “One Battle After Another is political to the core. It makes fun of racists, spoofs immigrant detention camps, shows a government run by anti-immigration blue-eyed boys, and touches upon subjects like abortion and racial 'purity'. And despite being so political, the film has the courage to mock anarchy and violent revolutionary tactics as well. Yes, the film takes a clear stand. But nobody is spared across party and ideological lines.”
One Battle After Another won multiple Golden Globes, Critics' Choice and BAFTA awards, solidifying its status as a favourite to win big at the Oscars, where it has earned 13 nominations. Leonardo DiCaprio, Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn, and Teyana Taylor all earned acting nods, while Paul Thomas Anderson is in the running for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
