In his glowing criticism for THRRichard Lawson described One battle after another As “a deliberately opportune film”, in which Anderson situates us “in our dismaying time of fascist flipper”. “It is a frightening and galvanizing vision, Anderson storing his complicated nostalgia for the old days (and more easily understood) to face, with a disarming goal here and now,” writes Lawson. He adds: “One battle after another The rare American film was released in these embarrassed times of us – with the support of a large studio, no less – to be clear and insisting in the target of his anger, his despair and his prescriptions for what could improve things. »»
In the TutorPeter Bradshaw One battle after another 5 stars, and described the film as “partly a bizarre diagnosis of father-daughter dysfunction-juxtaposed for the separation of children and migrant parents on the American-mexic border-and a very serious and relevant response to the Secret Director of the United States and its immigration and the application of insidiously standardized personalities. Bradshaw writes that, “One battle after another is both serious and inserting, exciting and confusing, a tonal fusion sending this crazy petty through the Vistivision screen – an acquired taste, yes, but addictive. “”
EmpireAlex Godfrey also gave A battle after aR 5 stars, by writing that: “In the years to come, when it appears on television late at night, it will be impossible to go out. It is only one of these films. An instant and cold stone classic.” Godfrey is full of praise for Anderson to carry out the richness of the characters and the points of the plot, writing that there are a lot of things, and not an ounce of fat on it. “” “In particular a sequence, involving a horribly tense and sinister car action, takes place on rolling desert roads, terrifying blind summits offering omniscient destiny cameras, the front and rear landscape which takes us into a sort of haunted roller coaster, the landscape itself signaling death.
VultureAlison Willmore’s criticism was also efficient, describing One battle after another As “top-level Paul Thomas Anderson”. Willmore praises Anderson for his adaptation of Pynchon’s novel and for having trained the work in the 21st century, as well as the action of the film, comparing it to Terminator 2. “For all that the film is delighted with satire – a powerful white secret society white is on the theme of Christmas, and its members greet themselves with” Hail, St. Nick! – It is electric when it goes to the action, and a sequence of prosecution on a series of peak hills manages to both reference and to resist that in which the T -1000 continues John Connor in the river in Lob. »»
Writing for the BBC, Caryn James rents Anderson for having created a film where “the drama and the comedy coexist with remarkable virtuosic ease”. “The film, which was shot in the big screen, has an epic sensation throughout, whether it is a large landing of military helicopter or a dilapidated street in Baktan Cross”, writes James adding that “it is rare to see such a ambitious film, but then, one of Anderson’s signals is its ability to checked raucous and extended stories.”
In his gushing criticism for IgnMichael Calabro described One battle after another As a “masterpiece”, and Anderson has reached another highlight of his career. “Calabro was blown away by performance, in particular Teyana Taylor playing at Perfia Beverly Hills:” The end of A battle – And how he pulls on your heart – would not be as effective if it was not for the performance of Taylor. “But Calabro reserves most of his praise for the director, writing:” To be frank, I am always impressed that this film really exists. It is so fun to watch, while telling a timeless story about what a father would cross to protect his daughter. And PTA does all this while doing an incisive comment on the current political climate of America. Let us not forget that it does all to do everything This day, with original IP, no less. ”
