And the winner is… ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER Paul Thomas Anderson’s incendiary portrait of modern America has been voted best film of 2025 by our critics Anderson responds to winning the poll: “Fuck yeah! It takes my breath away a bit, honestly. I remember reading Sight and Sound, as we all do, from when I was so young, and now to have a film that they called the best film of the year… it’s amazing. I can’t wait to see what it looks like in print. My first response was ‘Fuck yeah!’, and I stand by that!”
