Eddington

Calling Eddington the greatest fictional film yet produced about the COVID-19 pandemic might seem like faint praise. It is not.

The latest film from Ari Aster, Eddington, is a wild ride.

...is a raw nerve, a naked depiction of the state America has gotten itself into, and it's not so egotistical as to suggest either an ending or a way out.

It’s not just about the divisiveness of 2020; it’s designed to be divisive itself in 2025. To that end, even if you hate it, it’s kind of done its job.

Few other filmmakers would have the chutzpah required to make a “No Country for Old Men” riff that hinges on mask mandates and the murder of George Floyd...

...demonstrates just how easy—even rewarding—it’s become to ignore our better angels in the social media age.
