Eddington is, I think, less about political axe grinding, or even point making, and more about what it feels like to have all the noise of the world descend upon you at once. It is essentially a horror-comedy about the whole of the internet arriving in a small town seemingly in a single day.

In this desert setting, with characters both buffoonish and evil at once, there’s a distinctly Coen brothers slant to “Eddington.”

A24's Eddington is Ari Aster's worst film. It grips tightly onto social media speak and doesn't let go, to its detriment. The post REVIEW: Ari Aster Offers New Mexico By Way Of NYC In ‘Eddington’ appeared first on But Why Tho?
