A Note on "One Battle After Another"

[PatSeg]

5. I loved Train Dreams

It was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I haven't watched Sinners yet.

However, One Battle After Another was one of the worst film experiences I've had. It took me three sittings to actually get through it. When I saw it get so much attention during the Golden Globes, I pretty much decided I wasn't even going to bother with the Oscars this year...maybe forever.

I've been watching awards shows all my life and there are always winning movies and performances that I disagree with, but the past two or three years, the selections are pretty disappointing. Sometimes it feels like they are making movies for one another, not for the viewing public. Meanwhile, being an Oscar winning movie doesn't seem to have the positive impact it used to.
