Movies

The beginning is so bombastic but having been warned of that I kept going. I had read the review in the New Yorker by Justin Chang who had said that the movie doesn't kick in until Benicio Del Toro appears which was true. Finally, get into the emotional theme behind the movie.

I think Leonardo's acting was superb. Best he's ever done. His emotional self was visible at all times.

Sean Penn, who I am not a fan of, also was fantastic.

The movie is subtly emotional and bombastic at the same time. Very well done.

Here's the quote from Justin Chang's review that convinced me to see the movie: "One Battle After Another" as great an American movie as I've seen this year, doesn't simply meet the moment; with extraordinary tenderness, fury, and imagination, it forges a moment all its own, and insists that better ones could still lie ahead.
