Last year's movie One Battle After Another is now on streaming services, and I tried to watch it. It was widely praised:
One Battle After Another received widespread critical acclaim and numerous accolades. At the 98th Academy Awards, it won six out of the thirteen awards it was nominated for: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor (Penn), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Film Editing, and Best Casting, becoming the inaugural recipient for the latter. It also received one win from a record seven nominations at the 32nd Actor Awards; three wins at the 31st Critics' Choice Awards, including Best Picture; four wins at the 83rd Golden Globes, including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy; and six wins at the 79th British Academy Film Awards, including Best Film. The film was listed by the American Film Institute as one of the top ten films of 2025 and won five awards from the National Board of Review, including Best Film.There is a whole Wikipedia article on its List of accolades, and there are about 100.
No, this movie is much more offensive. The whole movie is about terrorism and interracial sexual manipulation. While the critics eat up this garbage, the public not so much.
The film ended up being a box-office disappointment, falling short of its estimated $300 million break-even point. ...I was not able to watch very much of it.Author, podcaster, and screenwriter Bret Easton Ellis alleged, "It's kind of shocking to see these kind [sic] of accolades for – I'm sorry, it's not a very good movie – because of its political ideology, and it's so obvious that's what they're responding to [...] Why it's considered a masterpiece, the greatest film of the decade, the greatest film ever made [is] because it really aligns with this kind of leftist sensibility."
