The film ('One Battle after Another') has obvious political overtones to burden it (for better or worse). But having said that it could be a critical success if not financial... and that has a lot to do with 'Word of Mouth'.
I saw the movie (had to say that because some reviewers DON'T WATCH THE FILM!😜) but there was definitely some aspects of it that simply did not resonate with me on a dramatic level regardless of political affiliation. It seemed to lack relevance... (it's storyline linked the 70's battles for abortion rights with the present day battle for immigration rights -yet who in the world can relate to that link?)
Although both Leftist issues they are extremely different Causes in their own right. In other words you can be for abortion but against mass migration very easily and vice versa.
I guess my main complaint was that it lacks narrative direction.
SPOILER ALERT: had the film been solely about fighting for abortion rights instead of fighting for ANY RIGHTS (midway the film switched from abortion rights to immigrant rights) it would not have appeared to me as directionless. When the daughter runs out at the end to "join a different battle" it simply didn't do anything to support her character's quest to understand her mother at all. It was simply, "I'm going to fight for something too" -which is a universal sentiment, not a personal one.
Regardless I've seen a lot of pure CRAP this year from Hollywood as we all have. This movie didn't make the Crap List at all. 😆
Oh yeah, sorry not sorry for the emojis! This was a YouTube comment turned into a quicky film review...😨
