Following its theatrical release, the movie garnered widespread critical acclaim and currently has a 94% approval rating on the review-aggregating site Rotten Tomatoes. It also made over $206 million at the global box office. In his review, ComingSoon’s Jonathan Sim gave One Battle After Another a seven out of 10 rating. “For all its occasional flaws, One Battle After Another is still a film worth celebrating,” Sim wrote. “It’s proof that even when Anderson isn’t operating at his very peak, he’s still delivering work that crackles with energy, wit, and vision.”
