A movie reviewer I watch made a poll about your favourite Paul Thomas Anderson movie. Realised I haven't seen any of them. There was a showing of One Battle After Another at an almost perfect time, so I went to watch it.
I loved it. I hope this is will all his movies, but it almost felt timeless. They do have modern phones and cars, but it could easily be set in any time period.
Most of his movies are different tonally than that movie. I won't say they aren't funny but the comedy tends to be darker. They also tend to be a slower burn. One Battle After Another kind of just takes off and doesn't stop moving until the end. But the quality of his films is always up there.
I just went to look up his other movies and realised I've just watched Licorice Pizza which has been on my watchlist for a while. Highly recommended. Must check out some of his other stuff.
