Anderson’s ‘One Battle After Another’ Is a Chilling, Haunting Take on Present-Day America

By Ben Friedman
The film progresses to the city of Sacramento, where we follow our protagonists becoming more daring and violent, especially Beverly Hills, who learns she is pregnant, and in her mind, sidelining her from the revolution. Cut to 16 years later, where we meet our former revolutionaries, now living as burnouts, who realize their lives are in grave danger as Capt. Lockjaw returns seeking retribution.
