Paul Thomas Anderson rarely fails to put together an impressive ensemble, but One Battle After Another features one of the most exciting collections of actors he’s assembled yet. When compared to major stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, and Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor may have seemed like more of an unknown. Although Anderson often chooses to spotlight up-and-coming actors, Taylor’s talents were without question after her breakthrough performance in the family drama A Thousand and One. In addition to showing the type of maternal resilience and independent thought needed to play such a captivating character, the idiosyncratic personality that Taylor brought to her performance in A Thousand and One ensured that she would be a perfect fit for whatever vision Anderson had in store.
