Paul Thomas Anderson azt pedzegette, hogy a filmiparon belül is túl sok a leszakad az ég sírás, pedig rengeteg érdekes projekt készül mostanában:

The whole industry is constantly complaining. The sky is always falling. But let’s take a look at this year: “Eddington,” “Weapons,” “Bugonia,” two Richard Linklater films (”Nouvelle Vague” and “Blue Moon”), “Sentimental Value,” “Marty Supreme,” which is coming out. Whoever wants to start complaining about movies right now needs to cool it. Do I think things get put on streaming too fast? Yeah, I do. I think that’s a drag. I think a lot of things that happen in Hollywood are self-inflicted wounds.”

Nyilván a sajátját szerénységből sem említette, hiszen a One Battle After Another se semmi vállalás volt a stúdiótól.
