7 New Movies to Watch This Weekend on Netflix, HBO Max and More (December 19-21)

Bob Ferguson (Leonardo DiCaprio) has seen better days. As a former member of the revolutionary group the French 75, he led an anti-establishment resistance that rebelled against a capitalist society. Nowadays, he just smokes pot and does his best to raise his teenage daughter, Willa (Chase Infiniti), by himself. But when Willa’s life is threatened by an old enemy from his past, Bob sobers up, teams up with his buddy Sergio (Benicio del Toro), and embarks on a quest across Southern California to rescue his daughter.
If there’s one 2025 movie you need to see, it’s One Battle After Another. Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, the critically acclaimed movie tackles some weighty subject matter, like the corruption of modern society and the unavoidable failures of being a parent, and puts them in a rousing action-comedy that’s always entertaining. From DiCaprio’s frustrated stoner to Teyana Taylor’s fierce mama, the movie’s cast is outstanding, and the climactic road sequence is already one for the history books. One Battle After Another is sure to win several Oscars next year, so watch it now to understand why it deserves the Academy’s flowers.
