Leonardo DiCaprio's One Battle After Another has sparked backlash from conservative audiences despite being the most critically acclaimed film of the year.
The sprawling 162-minute thriller, directed by 11-time Oscar nominee Paul Thomas Anderson, has wowed mainstream critics and won praise from the likes of Steven Spielberg and Taylor Swift.
But despite the film's many accolades, One Battle After Another has struggled to recoup its rumored $175 million budget at the box office so far.
The movie's progressive plot has also been blasted as 'woke' by conservative viewers, who accuse it of being 'pro-Antifa' for having a group of left-wing radical terrorists as the protagonists.
One Battle After Another is a politically charged action-thriller based loosely on Thomas Pynchon's 1990 novel Vineland.
The film sees DiCaprio playing Bob Ferguson, a former member of a far-left revolutionary group who now lives in a state of stoned paranoia off the grid with his daughter Willa, played by Chase Infiniti.
When Willa goes missing, Ferguson must reunite with his former comrades, which includes his estranged girlfriend Perfidia, played by Teyana Taylor, to take on an evil cabal of white supremacists.

Gag me again!
Two great actors in this movie.
Too bad they have their head in their ass.
Actually THREE great actors.
And all three have their head in their ass.
He was the only bad thing about Gangs of New York.
Can’t stand him.
DiCaprio can take his stupid wokey flick and cram it. This one’s going to hurt him with audiences down the road too. Conservative movie goers have long memories and we vote with our wallets.
Reminds me when Hollycrap came out with Michael Douglas as a pissed white dude “Falling Down” in 1993.
In November 1994 the pissed white dudes took Congress. 😀
Of course, the RINOs lost it.
Now I remember why I haven’t gone to a movie in many years.
Huh? I thought it was a blockbuster.
There hasn’t been any ‘good movies’ in many years.
I walked out when I realized I was watching a glorification of political violence. PTA has fallen hard. He made some of the best movies of the 90s and early 2000s, but his recent output has been atrocious.
Yeah those white supremacists are everywhere, if you think that things like mowing you lawn is white supremacy.
Which is why I read movie reviews before deciding if I want to go to a movie theater.
Usually, the answer is "no" (unless it's a movie like )Top Gun: Maverick).
Retardo Decrapio strikes again.
“won praise from Taylor Swift”
well, in THAT case, i’m definitely NOT going!
Won’t waste my time on streaming on another steaming pile of blue state cow flop.
Chase Infinity? Sounds like an Arkansas State Police video.
Last film I walked out of was “Lincoln”.
Every black in the film talked like a Columbia U grad.
Every white talked a specific character from the movie “Deliverance”.
Most blacks after the Civil War couldn’t even read.
Hold on to that door Lennie. You are about to sink into the briney deep of politics.
