One Battle After Another is our Film of 2025. Many came close, I Swear, Holy Cow, Souleymane's Story and Sirāt to name but a few, but Paul Thomas Anderson's drama about the kidnap of a former revolutionary's daughter is a relentless epic, non-stop until the very end. Never has 2 hour and 40 minutes flown by so quickly. Best viewed on a big screen!

The first in our Jack Nicholson mini-season is adapted from Ken Kesey’s novel and centres on Randle McMurphy (Jack Nicholson, superb), a convict who simulates mental illness in the hope that a transfer to psychiatric hospital might ensure his early release. But he hasn’t bargained for the rigid regimen of Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher, also superb), who dislikes his disruptive — though he’d say liberating — effect on the ward.
Inspired casting (Danny DeVito, Brad Dourif and Christopher Lloyd are among the patients) and Forman’s naturalistic direction lend authenticity to the proceedings, so that the film succeeds both as anti-authoritarian parable and as an affecting reminder of the psychiatric practices of the past.
