One Battle After Another

Nominated For: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay & 7 More Categories

I’m completely blown away by Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest, One Battle After Another. Many are saying it’s his best film since There Will Be Blood, and I definitely agree! It’s already topping the charts on HBO Max and is a serious contender for Best Picture. The story centers on a group of revolutionaries fighting from the shadows, but things get really intense when the government starts coming after them. It’s especially heartbreaking because Leonardo DiCaprio’s character, while a bit of a mess, has a daughter who ends up caught in the crossfire.

Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein quickly became popular on Netflix after its release in November.

I was completely blown away by Apple TV’s latest movie! It stars Brad Pitt as an older, experienced race car driver who gets a surprising second chance to compete in Formula 1. What really got me was how they filmed the racing – they actually used real F1 footage and drivers, which made it feel so authentic. It’s easily one of the most realistic sports movies I’ve ever seen!
