Critics Consensus

Eddington carries a stellar cast, fearless direction by Ari Aster and an off-kilter story, but its tonal misdirection will often leave viewers wanting.

Eddington is especially pointed in the way that it views our online connectedness as a social cancer rather than an engine for progress.

Tim Robey

Daily Telegraph (UK)

It’s clever, serrated, and not bad, but you wouldn’t call it Aster at full mad tilt.

Rated: 3/5

Elle

Ari Aster transforms everyday American insanity into one of the most artistically complete and compulsively watchable doom-scrolls of the year.

Arts Fuse

Eddington never goes beyond both-sides-ism, embracing a South Park-style cynicism. It’s smug about everything, from facile political provocateurs to their targets.

Although not everything Aster throws to the wall sticks, enough of it does that it’s a mostly entertaining, somewhat thought-provoking watch.

Rated: 7/10

There's something about the way [Aster] tells the story, so raw, so awkward, so confronting, that I... I just love that kind of filmmaking.
