#JuliaRoberts and #SeanPenn have been around for a long time. This year, they both deliver star turns as complicated, volatile characters amid volatile political environments. In Luca Guadagnino’s “After the Hunt,” Roberts plays Alma Imhoff, a Yale professor of philosophy who is forced to confront her own flaws and biases when a student accuses her colleague of assault. And in Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another,” Penn’s Col. Steven J. Lockjaw plunges the lives of a father and daughter into chaos as he undertakes a mission of revenge against political dissidents. The actors, longtime friends and neighbors, debrief about their work and careers before heading to dinner, where the conversation surely continues.
