Eddington defies expectations as a surprise indie hit that genuinely catches audiences off guard with its unpredictable twists and stunning New Mexico cinematography.

★YOUR BEING MANIPULATED★
Griffin NewmanMay 17, 2025Grossly irresponsible to make a film that attempts to examine the intensely vitriolic state of American politics amidst the earliest months of COVID and not mention how Trump, or the MAGA-sphere, directly amplified and exacerbated so many of those very issues. But at least…

It used to be that every white male wanted to write the next great American novel and now it’s every white male filmmaker wants to make the next great “provocative” movie, and it’s tiring.

sarah squirmJul 17, 202593 Not exactly shocked that this is proving to be divisive considering its subject matter, but let's be real here - the first act is designed to rustle any and all feathers, and it's inevitable that bloggers at Cannes fell for its Wile E. Coyote trap. Just about every…

Seeing lots of reactions/hot takes to this movie in the same way Civil War was derided: “these filmmakers are irresponsible.” To portray these events, these hot-button issues, without first declaring your true intent, or without exposing your political shortcomings, is, to…
JakeJul 17, 2025Turns fully into the vertigo of the COVID/BLM years in a way designed to leave absolutely everyone feeling terrible and more insane. I loved it. Aster makes a film that unsparingly aims to render what it feels like to be alive in the present, which is to say a baffling…

- ansh is "meh" onEddington
I didn’t like the movie’s perpetuation of the most extreme beliefs, which also led to extremely unlikeable characters and more focus on woke propaganda than a nuanced message
Clay Werner lovedEddington9.4 - I think there is actually more than two response camps (love it or hate it) to this. One is like/love it because Ari Aster makes good but distressing movies. One is like/love it because of its depth & commentary on current social dynamics & politics & how covid has rewired us on both micro &…
sean b likedEddington6.5/10 i was gonna say what an interesting film about covid-19, it’s cool to see a movie about something i also experienced! i wonder if it’s a true story! and then the rest of the movie happened
- Vogue Italia lovedEddington
this is a portrait of america today. you are not supposed to like these characters, you are supposed to realize their hysteria through the internet has caused irreparable societal damage. a phenomenal film, every actor/character is excellent
DL Cooper lovedEddingtonThe film’s thesis is pretty clear at the end. The media and vitriol without nuance drives the fearful bumbling sheriff to kill the condescending liberal - now the corporations don’t have to negotiate with the adults in the room, they just redefine the rules and fill the power vacuum, discarding the…
Carson Withers lovedEddingtonDang it it’s just the best movie of the year

zxki is "meh" onEddingtonThis feels like one of those films that, after a few years, will grow an almost cult-like following, but that's what I think about most Ari Aster films. I was unsure about the mixed reviews, but it makes sense. There's a clear distinction between the documentary-like first half and the…
Bennie likedEddingtonI liked the major themes and the notion that the internet creates these alternate realities, especially during Covid where everyone is isolated and on their phone. I think it could have better highlighted how real victims are often forgotten. Still, I love Ari Aster’s style. 7

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…
DHDeepika HarrisThe 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🧢

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.
