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.

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.

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.

2.5/4

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.

“Eddington” is a mess, but at least it’s an ambitious mess.

3/5

It doesn't quite work in any of the genres it attempts (and there are many), and it doesn't have a single likable character. And yet, it's a valuable film, and I would even say an important one in these turbulent times. [Full review in Spanish]

An ambitious, frustrating, and ultimately fascinating mess, this is the kind of movie that’s bound to start conversations (and maybe even a few arguments).

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

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.

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