One Battle After Another is the latest Paul Thomas Anderson movie, hopefully one that can wash the taste of Licorice Pizza out of everyone’s mouths. I feel like I’ve seen three or four different trailers that are all tonally different, so they seem to be struggling to communicate what this movie is, exactly, other than a Leonardo DiCaprio joint. Teyana Taylor supposedly is very good in it, and I am always in favor of someone being on the Oscar trail who’s new to it. ESPECIALLY someone with such a hard-edged aesthetic, because watching how that morphs — if at all — on the campaign would be fascinating.
