8 d. ago The revolution will be in VistaVision: what are the politics of One Battle After Another?

Paul Thomas Anderson’s thrilling new film has irked some on the right and galvanised others on the left – but its politics are more complicated than they initially seemAbout two dozen movies have topped the box office in 2025, and it’s safe to say that Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another is the only one that depicts its protagonists freeing arrested immigrants from detention centers. The movie doesn’t face much competition for the title of most political weekend-topper of the year; superhero pictures such as Captain America: Brave New World perpetually tell the most anodyne stories possible, even when they’re supposedly about Washington-based conspiracies; Sinners conceals some of its bigger ideas within a crime-and-horror vampire story; even Mickey 17, another riskily expensive Warner Bros movie from a beloved auteur with political overtones, has genre-movie trappings.

Grimacing through the agony of a dislocated shoulder, it made for front page news and a fitting, albeit unwitting, exit.Few Test careers get endings such as Stuart Broad’s mic‑drop at the same ground, or the sentimental farewells laid on for Jimmy Anderson or Alastair Cook. But this one suited Woakes: full circle at the scene of his Test debut 12 years earlier and still putting the team first. Continue reading...
