Go See 'One Battle After Another' Right Now

Glory be, I really liked and admired Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another. It’s enthralling, it’s hard-hitting, it’s up-to-the-minute in its topicality, it’s drawing on and doing full justice to a multitude of genres including action, comedy, suspense, and the political thriller — plus it’s got a mesmerizing, undulating, hill-and-valley climactic car-chase scene like nothing I’ve seen before, and I’ve seen ten thousand car-chase scenes in my time.
