One Battle After Another is the best movie I've ever seen, says Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence has admitted to being a huge fan of One Battle After Another.
Jennifer Lawrence thinks One Battle After Another is "the best movie [she's] ever seen".
The Oscar-winning actress recently watched the Paul Thomas Anderson-directed action thriller - which stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and Chase Infiniti - and Jennifer has confessed to being wowed by the film.
Speaking to the BAFTA Playback, the 35-year-old actress said: "This is the best movie I’ve ever seen. This is One Battle After Another."
The Hollywood star confessed that she couldn't "remember a time where [she] ever had an experience like that in the cinema, and it was shared".
Jennifer - who is married to art gallery director Cooke Maroney - added: "When it was over, everyone applauded. I just kept thanking my husband over and over and over again because he had booked the tickets, like two weeks in advance, and I just couldn’t say anything else other than just like, thank you for that experience."
Jennifer has also urged film fans to watch the movie in a cinema, rather than on a TV.
She said: "You have to see it in theatres. I think it’s an impossible pace to uphold. There’s not an extra minute in it, at no point does it drag."
Meanwhile, Leonardo DiCaprio previously insisted that box-office numbers will always be "important".
The 50-year-old actor - who is one of the best-paid movie stars in the world - acknowledges the ever-increasing importance of streaming platforms, but he believes the box-office will always be a significant element of the film industry.
He told Variety: "I think there’s just an inundation of content and so much production going on now — which is a good thing, obviously. But I think box office is important because it means people are in the seats going to theatre, going to have that communal experience."
The award-winning star explained that One Battle After Another is "uniquely crafted and specialised" for cinemagoers.
He reflected: "I mean, Paul shot this movie in Vista Vision — cameras that have rarely been used since the early ‘60s.
"He wants people to have that immersive experience and make an action film that’s unexpected, tactile, realistic and something that is probably a lot different than what we’ve been saturated with. In that respect, box office is very important."
DiCaprio actively encouraged film fans to watch One Battle After Another in a cinema, rather than at home.
The actor said: "I would only hope that people go out to the theatre and experience it the way it’s meant to be seen."
