Movies

Saw it last night and I thought it was great. The MAGA crowd will positively hate this film and probably use it as definitive proof that Antifa really exists as an organized terrorist organization simply because they are unable to recognize truth from fiction. The film runs almost 3 hours but it never dragged and kept me engaged throughout. It kept me off balance for the first third until all of the events meshed together and the full picture of what is happening emerges. There are great memorable set pieces and a couple uniquely staged chase sequences that worked incredibly well in moving the narrative forward. The acting was stellar from the entire cast, with Sean Penn standing out as one of the great movie villains of the past few decades. I will definitely watch this film again, something that happens with all of Paul Thomas Anderson’s unusual but crafty concoctions.
