Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” has been met with some of the highest acclaim of the year. But the feature — described in Variety‘s review as a “mesmerizing vision of police-state America” — is more than just a crowd and critic pleaser.

'One Battle After Another' is loosely based on the 1990 novel Vineland by Thomas Pynchon.The thriller centres on a group of former revolutionaries who reunite after 16 years to confront an enemy that has re-emerged. DiCaprio plays Bob Ferguson, with Regina Hall co-starring as Deandra, as per the outlet.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn are brilliant in Paul Thomas Anderson's film about autocracy, revolution...and a father and daughter torn apart.
