A new level of scary
I went into Eddington blind, and that made it so much worse, in the best way. What started as a slow "wait...what's going on?" turned into full body dread that clung to me. Not jumpy scary but existential scary. The acting across the board is phenomenal. Every performance is so raw. The leads are magnetic, but even the minor characters leave a mark. Aster's direction is as precise and twisted as ever, but there's a maturity here, less chaos, more control. He doesn't rush the tension, he lets it rot and fester. You're not just watching this film, you're enduring it, and somehow still wanting more. It's not for the faint of heart or short of patience, but if you're willing to sit in the dark with your discomfort, this is beautiful, brutal, and totally unforgettable.
