Director Paul Thomas Anderson's critically acclaimed, BAFTA-award winning and Oscar-nominated "One Battle After Another" is finally available for streaming in India. The Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer can be watched on JioHotstar. It was released in theatres in September last year.
In its review of the film, THE WEEK wrote: "This is Anderson’s tenth feature, and his most expensive to date—its sprawling production design and kinetic set-pieces dwarfing anything he has attempted before. A loose adaptation of Vineland, a story of generational regrets about unfinished revolutions in America, One Battle After Another is the kind of thematically rich spectacle that not only treats the senses well, but also ignites the imagination. A standout sequence is a car chase through rolling countryside that ends in a satisfying conclusion without any pyrotechnics. Marvel’s tireless team of theme-park artisans could take notes."
In a separate opinion piece, THE WEEK added: "The Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer is another audacious work from PTA, proving yet again that he is the kind of filmmaker capable of opening up doors and pathways in your mind that hitherto didn't exist. It has some of the funniest performances, courtesy of DiCaprio—wearing an outfit resembling Jeff Bridges' from The Big Lebowski—and Sean Penn (Col. Lockjaw is his most memorable character in a long time), and competent turns from Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and Chase Infiniti. We get lines like, "Get down like you're about to suck a d***." We get a hilarious nod to Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove. (Kubrick and Sterling Hayden would've probably rolled on the floor after hearing someone say, "Semen demon.") To put it simply, PTA is the kind of filmmaker blessed with the powers to rewire your overstimulated brain, which has been corrupted by the toxic, exhausting after-effects of numerous reels and information overload."
