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.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

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

Rated: 3/5

Tomris Laffly

Elle

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

Justin Chang

The New Yorker

Whatever glancing insights [Ari Aster] achieves early on are squandered in a second act that descends into sniggering superiority, cartoonish violence, and generally stultifying tedium.

Doug Jamieson

The Jam Report

Exhausting in the way bad satire always is, so pleased with itself that it forgets to entertain, to illuminate, or even to bother making sense.

Rated: 2/5

Discussing Film

Ari Aster's Eddington captures the social horrors and political divide of the COVID-19 pandemic through hilarious black comedy that hits harder all these years later. However, the movie adds very little fresh substance to these real-life topics.

Rated: 3.5/5

Rene Sanchez

Cine Sin Fronteras

Although its satiric elements lack a bit of sharpness, Eddington is a thought-provoking contemporary western that examines the scary realities of the post-pandemic world. [Full Review in Spanish]
