Hey, everyone - It's been a while but I'm finally back with another review. Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another is now out in theaters. This is, as of now, by far the best reviewed movie of the entire year, even over Sinners, so expectations were high going into the theater. I've always found PTA to be a little hit-or-miss with me. He always makes good films, but I've found movies such as Licorice Pizza and Punch-Drunk Love to be somewhat overrated while still recognizing the brilliance of some of his other films. So, does One Battle After Another solidify itself as the Best Picture frontrunner? Find out in this review!
