One Battle After Another review: Leonardo DiCaprio stars in a

Salman Rushdie, reviewing Pynchon's Vineland 35 years ago, called it
"a major political novel about what America has been doing to itself."
And at a Q&A with Anderson several weeks ago, Steven Spielberg praised
the film as "increasingly more relevant than perhaps even when you
finished the screenplay". American society, in all its strengths and
missteps, has been a major theme for both Pynchon and Anderson, and it
grounds Anderson's dazzler of a film, giving it an emphatic,
unmistakable political charge.
