Loosely based on Thomas Pynchon's 1990 novel Vineland, the tenth film from auteur Paul Thomas Anderson is an incendiary mix of exhilarating action, jet-black comedy and tender familial drama.
Washed-up revolutionary Bob (Oscar® winner Leonardo DiCaprio) exists in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off-grid with his spirited, self-reliant daughter, Willa (Chase Infiniti). When his evil nemesis (two-time Oscar® winner Sean Penn) resurfaces after 16 years and she goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her, father and daughter both battling the consequences of his past.
Featuring searing performances from its powerhouse ensemble cast (including from DiCaprio and Penn), stunning camerawork and an inspired script, this slacker epic-meets-absurdist satire is a wildly entertaining roller coaster ride.
