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.

Audience Says

Backed by an unanimously phenomenal cast, Eddington captures pandemic-era trauma with mixed results, delivering an unmistakably Ari Aster film: idiosyncratic, enigmatic, and polarizing.

Guy Lodge

Observer (UK)

Eddington strikes me as the US film of the year: a powder keg and a time capsule reflective of a senseless moment in time. May its cultish second life begin now.

John Bleasdale

Sight & Sound

Pedro Pascal and Emma Stone’s comic talents are lost to one-dimensional roles in a misguided pandemic satire filled with dated jokes and disingenuous political messaging.

The Travers Take

Ari Aster’s severely divisive Covid-set western shows that anxieties about himself and a broken world are his stock in trade. His therapy is to laugh them into submission. His gift as an artist is to invite us to join him. Count me in.

Rated: 2.5/4

Film Frenzy

Eddington is a mess, basically a bingo card filled with catechismal buzz terms from the past decade.

Rated: 1.5/4

Mortal Cinema (Substack)

Aster offers a combination of skepticism and sympathy...for a man whose real-life analogs might not seem to deserve any.

It is like Aster has a hundred darts to throw at the wall, yet somehow did none hit the bullseye, they failed to hit the dartboard altogether.

Really bad! No real point, weird just to be weird, overlong. Hereditary and Midsommar are looking like Aster’s high points, unfortunately

CHRISTIAN

When rampant self-righteousness leads to self-servingness, which ultimately culminates in self/destruction… To what end do we stand up for what we believe is “right” & fight for what we believe in? Is justice ever rightfully ours to not only seek, but to take it upon ourselves to enforce? At the end of the day, everyone’s right in their own eyes.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

It was too long and pretty depressing. It’s all about what is wrong with our country.
