đŸ”„ DIVIDING AUDIENCES: ARI ASTER’S EDDINGTON HITS STREAMING — AND FANS CAN’T AGREE IF IT’S GENIUS OR CHAOS đŸ˜±

The latest from Midsommar director Ari Aster.

Eddington, the neo-Western thriller from last year that stars Pedro Pascal, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone and Austin Butler, has landed on a streaming subscription service in the UK.

The film, from Midsommar and Beau is Afraid director Ari Aster, is now available with a NOW Cinema subscription, or a Sky Cinema package if you have that.

Eddington was labelled as “a fascinating, ambitious experiment” by the Irish Times, which noted that it “never quite justifies its 149-minute bloat”.

A reviewer for the Wall Street Journal wrote: “Though I prefer the social satire of the early going to the last-act lunacy, the stylistic change brings narrative excitement to a story that seemed in danger of wandering aimlessly.”

Empire Magazine really liked the film, and called it “An audacious, farcically funny digest of where we are now, and how we got here: the cinematic equivalent of pandemic primal therapy, a mad scream into the void.”

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

IndieWire called it “bleak and brilliant”, the BBC liked it but said it was “overstuffed”, while John Waters named it his film of the year.
