FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/one-battle-after-another-movie-review-a-star-is-born-in-one-of-the-years-best-and-most-important-films/
"One Battle After Another is a technical feat, a movie with brilliant performances and a thematic density that can only be truly processed after multiple viewings over time.
It's a chaotic, intense, and surprisingly hilarious examination of the state of America, the weight of history, and how the fight for a better future is passed from one generation to the next. The entire cast is phenomenal, but newcomer Chase Infiniti is a true revelation, delivering a captivating and emotionally powerful performance that perfectly embodies the theme of generational hope.
While I don't share the hyperbole generated by the initial reactions, it's clearly one of the most important and well-made films of the year. Driven by a masterful score and a sharp script from Paul Thomas Anderson, where every detail matters, it's a dense story about the battles we cannot escape and the family we fight for.
Rating: A-
