"Believe the hype: One Battle After Another is a banger."
— Kristy Puchko, Mashable
"Electrified by virtuoso filmmaking, its enraged message comes through loud and clear."
— Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
"All these multilayered performances are housed in some of the most virtuosic filmmaking I’ve seen in recent memory."
— Esther Zuckerman, Bloomberg News
"This funny, gripping tale of resistance and family, starring Leonardo Di Caprio, is one of the most absorbing films of the year."
— Christina Newland, iNews.co.uk
"In years to come, when this appears on TV late at night, it’ll be impossible to switch off. It’s just one of those films. A stone-cold, instant classic."
— Alex Godfrey, Empire Magazine
"It’s not just that it is superbly crafted on every level, it is also properly entertaining. It has a momentum that propels everything forward always, and never wavers in capturing and holding your attention."
— Wenlei Ma, The Nightly (AU)
"One Battle After Another is of the moment without hammering away at us with its ideas; its seriousness is the unserious kind, which makes it even more potent, in a Dr. Strangelove sort of way."
— Stephanie Zacharek, TIME Magazine
"One Battle After Another is cinema at its purest—uncompromising, exhilarating, and alive. Here Paul Thomas Anderson has given us a masterpiece that doesn’t just entertain but rattles the bones."
— Linda Marric, HeyUGuys
"We’re used to Anderson, the director of There Will Be Blood and Phantom Thread, coming back with a surprise up his sleeve. But even so, it’s hard to overstate just how electrifyingly improbable his latest picture is."
— Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph (UK)
"One Battle After Another is an ensemble powerhouse, with Anderson taking a stab at what could be his most politically charged feature. DiCaprio is wonderful, but then again there's not a dull note in the entire cast."
— Kristen Lopez, The Film Maven
"Hollywood’s most contradictory creation in ages: a crowd-pleasing political manifesto, a riotous action-comedy of ideas, a movie constructed for the eye as much as the heart and mind. Now that’s revolutionary."
— Barry Hertz, Globe and Mail
"Anderson’s humanistic masterpiece of a movie says: You fight it with love. That’s the end game. That’s how you retain your decency and sanity. That’s the only way you protect the future, and change it. That’s how you live to battle another day."
— David Fear, Rolling Stone
