negative review of One Battle...?

[Mark Kohut]

I think it is a near-masterpiece if not a full one (with anyone's quibbles)
....Pynchon penetrates Anderson's movie
like a dye....everywhere.,,

And his, Pynchon's, subtlety about Anderson's topic and themes, Pynchon's
vision, makes it that masterpiece worked out beautfilly by a master
filmmaker...

Besides this, the only review I can write and am, is a phenomenological one
of Pynchon's visions from scene to scene...from beginning to end...
