One Battle After Another

Washed-up revolutionary Bob exists in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off-grid with his spirited, self-reliant daughter, Willa. When his evil nemesis resurfaces after 16 years and she goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her, father and daughter both battling the consequences of his past.
My first thought after watching was "wow, what did Lacoste ever do to Paul Thomas Anderson and/or Colleen Atwood to deserve this cameo?" My second was "damn this was such a f*cking good movie." I was transfixed the entire length of the movie; the performances of Leo, Sean, Benicio, Regina, and Teyana had me in a chokehold. I intend to watch it again to see what nuances I might have missed the first viewing. And the music...every track perfectly chosen. Call it one of the best movies of the year. But please, let's not call it a Christmas movie.
