Atom User Reviews for Eddington
Don’t believe all the negative hype. Eddington is not some masterpiece, but it genuinely caught me off guard. Any time a movie does well with the element of surprise, then you have a good movie. I also loved the cinematography and score. The entire film was shot on location…
The Great Performers of All Time. Kudos to the writers, playwrights, director, producers, casting directors. JP and PP are the best actors of the 21st Century. Standing Ovations 🙏🏼 and Hats Off🧢
Yeah!
Metacritic
The result is a magnificently off-the-rails poison pill of a film, one that skitters from paranoiac thriller to reactionary satire to something far more caustic and unnerving. It is the cinematic equivalent of long COVID – lingering, haunting, and demanding rigorous, skeptical investigation.
With Joaquin Phoenix at the height of his abilities, Eddington is, if you look close enough, just as, if not more terrifying than anything Paimon or a Swedish cult could ever unleash.
There is no accumulation of drama or tension or intellectual revelation and the setpiece shootout is ultimately valueless. What exactly is it saying that we didn’t know already? The wait for Aster to recover his directorial form goes on.
