Eddington

"Less effective as a shock to the system..."

"Leaves the actual business of drama and character notably undernourished."

"Funniest film to date."

"Laborious and weirdly self-important satire."

"A better film would tightly synthesize the macro with the micro, but Aster instead lets them hang discordant next to one another, clanging in the desert wind."

"Just annoying and empty."

"Chills you, unnerves you and makes you want to crawl out of your skin."

"Phoenix, as ever, commits to the bit and then some..."

"Not just about the divisiveness of 2020; it’s designed to be divisive itself in 2025."

"An intelligent, questioning movie."

"Gets at the way our shared reality fractured in ways that may be irreparable"

"Partly coherent mishmash of tones and ideas: sincere and satirical, astute and self-obfuscating."

"What it boils down to is a big-screen amplification of a billion “WTF is going on?!” posts."

"Descends into sniggering superiority, cartoonish violence, and generally stultifying tedium."

"Clever, serrated, and not bad, but you wouldn’t call it Aster at full mad tilt."
