Rating Summary
Thunderously meaningless, One Battle After Another is cinematic blunt force trauma. Writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson attempts and fails to blend expressionism with traditional storytelling and the result is a duller shade of each. OBAA is a perfect example of the mental rot infecting modern film and filmmakers.

It is the Mark Ruffalo of movies.
