NO SPOILERS-"One Battle After Another" HBO a quick-ish 2:42 👀 👍 Way different than I expected

NO SPOILERS which is difficult
Timeless - from cars to events to clothes it’s hard to figure out the time frame.
Sex and violence ✅

Several extremely intricate web of network by both dedicated and flawed individuals.
2:42. The first 45 minutes are background.
The answer is “Time is not real but it controls us”
It’s a mixture of the Weathermen, Black Panthers, and (I guess) Quebec independence.
Oh and highly funded white supremists.
Lots of pot including the pot growing Nuns.

Very strong female characters it is centered around two. Mother and daughter.
Leonardo is a stoner mess. But, he’s a stand up guy.
Sean Penn is either bow legged or can play it. He’s going to be nominated for everything.
Benecilo del Torro is great.

There are some desert road footage that takes you ON the ride.

What is with the druggie (WEED) bathrobe thing?
From THE DUDE to Eric Stoltz in “Pulp Fiction” to this?
