Review: The revolution gets energized in Paul Thomas Anderson's dynamite 'One Battle After Another' Paul Thomas Anderson's brutally hilarious political thriller brings together Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Teyana Taylor, Benicio del Toro and newcomer Chase Infiniti.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s fun and fizzy adaptation views its Molotov cocktail as half-full. Yes, it says, the struggle for liberation continues. But isn’t it inspiring that there are still people willing to fight?

Is This the Worst-Ever Era of American Pop Culture? Meet the critics who believe the arts are in terminal decline.

I’ve never believed in cultural decline! But throughout the 2020s, the arts have been in a strange state that does look a lot like malaise.
