Steven Spielberg, who has seen 'One Battle After Another' three times, compares it to Stanley Kubrick's 'Dr. Strangelove':

"It takes it to a point where you want to laugh, because if you don’t laugh, you’re going to start screaming, ‘This is too real.'"https://t.co/zcuWLnk4kZ pic.twitter.com/SbDJTXxSTz
I laughed out loud throughout, it’s probably Anderson’s funniest movie, and by the end I was so deeply moved I was crying. Sean Penn will win an incredibly well-deserved Oscar. And the action! My god. I haven’t stopped thinking about the car chase and what the camera does.

everyone on here acting like the movie is going to be soooo out there, or soooo weird, or sooo hard to sell to any kind of general audience, well, sorry, you're just wrong on this one. it's a straightforward father-daughter stoner crime thriller epic and it rocks

One Battle After Another (2025) – A roaring spectacle that draws as much from Fast & Furious as it does from the Bible, turning velocity and scripture into a study of faith, loyalty, and survival. It’s outrageous. The ensemble thrives, though the lead’s gravitas anchors it all. pic.twitter.com/dWmDxWR2gf

To quote Steven Spielberg, “What an insane movie.” One Battle After another is phenomenal, and filled oh such fantastic performances. Sean Fucking Penn! Leonardo! All round excellence. Loved it. PTA, delivered in aces! A solid best picture contender. pic.twitter.com/YSCsZDMFK3

Word - a total Masterpiece. Can’t remember the last time my most anticipated film of the year was also the best.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s #OneBattleAfterAnother is an absolute triumph—an explosive action spectacle filtered through the artistry of one of cinema’s great filmmakers. Leonardo DiCaprio, Teyona Taylor and Sean Penn deliver especially memorable performances in a story that’s as… pic.twitter.com/c3Im2QfyrX

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER: pardon my French (75) but what a fcking riot. Buoyed by Johnny Greenwood’s bellicose score, PTA revisits familiar themes, namely the tension btwn the responsibilities of love vs requirements of vocation, but w/ renewed fury.

With One Battle After Another PTA crafts an emotional yet incredibly epic American odyssey through the ideology’s that consume America. Sean Penn is haunting yet hilarious and made me shed tears. Incredibly muscular editing with car chase(s) That evoke THE FRENCH CONNECTION. pic.twitter.com/NW8mFro0wr

I’m not a real critic so I can officially talk about it now— ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER was excellent. In a just world, Sean Penn wins an Oscar. Whole cast is strong. Direction is unsurprisingly stellar, it feels as grand as I hoped, super funny. My favorite movie of 2025 so far.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s #OneBattleAfterAnother rips! A riveting masterclass handling absurdity, satire & suspense. DiCaprio is in top form. Teyana Taylor is a standout. Chase Infiniti is a revelation. She steals the show. Jonny Greenwood’s score hits like no other. @warnerbros pic.twitter.com/d2rrbgc752

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is PTA at his most ambitious, bold, and urgent. A gargantuan, powerful, crowd-pleasing swing with a visionary idiosyncratic voice, brilliantly blending action, adventure, comedy & drama while pushing the boundaries of blockbuster filmmaking into a new era pic.twitter.com/lsvKWyTu6h

One Battle After Another might be the best movie released by a major American studio since I started working as a critic (~2010). distressing how little else comes to mind!

Random sidenote, does Leo have the best director resume of any working actor today?
The dude has literally worked with every single A-list, big name director out there. (Except for Villenueve and Wes Anderson I think?)
We're talking Scorsese, Spielberg, Nolan, Tarantino, Cameron, Boyle, and now PTA.

Half of these guys are trying to get quoted in the marketing materials (literally), so I usually just ignore the language and look at the overall consensus of opinion.

One Battle After Another is gonna go down as one of the best of the decade. There wasn’t a single second I wasn’t absolutely enthralled by the kinetic action and captured and presented in absolutely gorgeous Vistavision.

One Battle After Another is Paul Thomas Anderson’s magnum opus.

It’s hard to put into words what I just witnessed but this is what happens when you trust one of the greatest filmmakers of modern time with full creative control. The result? An insanely ambitious blockbuster that… pic.twitter.com/BjO9EMbAeK
