neutral · AI labelView post →I just keep thinking about the movie Eddington (2025), which, if you haven't seen it, is basically a documentary of this era in really disturbing ways. You have to hold the phone with your left hand if you're going to shoot with your right.
positive · AI labelView post →Gonna see Weapons tomorrow. Then Naked Gun this weekend. Then Eddington somehow. I am a movie Guy.
neutral · AI labelView post →Eddington is a movie that is confused by pronouns and just cannot figure them out. Eddington is a movie that has had very recent concerns about collegiate women's swimming. Eddington is a movie that Bill Maher will adore.
negative · AI labelView post →It would be funny if Ari Aster made an “extended director’s cut” of EDDINGTON and all he adds to the movie is a mid-credits scene set to “We Are Charlie Kirk”
neutral · AI labelView post →I do not understand why people are struggling so hard with parsing the politics of EDDINGTON, a not particularly subtle movie. Is it because it doesn't slow down and say "THE "ANTIFA" HIT SQUAD ARE PAID RIGHT-WING AGITATORS" directly to the camera?
positive · AI labelView post →Ari Aster’s new movie ‘EDDINGTON’ releases in theaters this week. • Follows a small-town sheriff and a mayor’s standoff during the COVID-19 pandemic. • Starring Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone, & Austin Butler. Read our review: bit.ly/EddingtonDF
neutral · AI labelView post →Eddington is a movie that appears to have been made for people who lament that we are polarized because we aren't "allowed" to say "ret*rd" anymore, and believe that just saying the word equates to a punchline.
negative · AI labelView post →Eddington is a divisive movie: it divides people into people who like Eddington and people who are wrong
positive · AI labelView post →Eddington is the first movie I’ve been really excited for in maybe a year or more
positive · AI labelView post →So Eddington is just a weirdly incoherent movie isn’t it? Like I want to read it as Beau is Afraid-style surreal parody of right wing post-COVID paranoia but it’s treatment of young political protestors as self-serving youthful performative activism is… weird. Idk what to even think about this film.
neutral · AI labelView post →I think watching Eddington came the closest of any film I've seen to capturing what it felt like for me to work for facebook as a content moderator from 2016 to 2020. The constant stream of information turns into something resembling awful glossolalia after a point.
positive · AI labelView post →"Do you want to see the new Pedro Pascal movie?" "Fantastic Four, Eddington, or Materialists?" "Sorry, I meant the new Natasha Lyonne movie." "Fantastic Four, Bad Guys 2, or Smurfs?" "Oops, I meant the new Paul Walter Hauser movie." "Fantastic Four or The Naked Gun?"
neutral · AI labelView post →EDDINGTON is the movie of the year. Maybe of the decade. Amanda, @brofromanother.bsky.social, and I dive into it on The Big Picture. Then Ari Aster joins me to talk about his new film. open.spotify.com/episode/3dSC...
positive · AI labelView post →Ari Aster's next movie is titled EDDINGTON and likely headed our way this summer from A24. In the "contemporary western," a couple stranded in a small New Mexico town discovers the sinister nature of the location when night falls.
neutral · AI labelView post →A new ‘EDDINGTON’ exhibit is now open at the Geronimo Springs Museum in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, the real filming location of the movie. Various props and set pieces from Ari Aster’s film are on display.
neutral · AI labelView post →OBAA: great movie. But EDDINGTON is the one we’re going to look at in 15 years and go “wow, this movie really captured that whole period”

positive · AI labelView post →🦋 Pedro Pascal: Fear is the way that they win. Speaking from the Cannes Film Festival on his latest movie, Eddington, Pascal was asked if he was worried about re-entering the US after making a film with a strong political message. This is the reality of Trump's America for those who speak out. 🦋
neutral · AI labelView post →if you want a movie to get mad about, try Eddington
negative · AI labelView post →Eddington is quite simply the movie of the era, set in the past and about the present and the future
positive · AI labelView post →I watched Eddington and One Battle After Another, and my ultimate conclusion is that nobody can make a good Coen brothers movie but the Coen brothers.
negative · AI labelView post →Going from "Eddington is an underrated movie" to "Eddington is the only movie"
positive · AI labelView post →new newsletter today about the shortsightedness of political films and how we interpret them featuring One Battle After Another, Parasite, Civil War, Eddington, and a Marxist-Maoist essay from Jean-Luc Godard goodones.beehiiv.com/p/the-myopia...
neutral · AI labelView post →Putting a marker down that "Eddington" is going to be the "Do the Right Thing" of our time, this movie snubbed by the Oscars that decades later everyone agrees captured the zeitgeist better than anything else
positive · AI labelView post →I said it before & I’ll say it again: EDDINGTON is the one film that addresses this topic head on, extrapolates the consequences to our brains and our society, and all done as useful satire that will only look more correct in the future even if it was (in some cases wilfully) misunderstood in 2025
positive · AI labelView post →The last half of Eddington might go off the rails but if your takeaway is that this movie is some sort of toothless centrist take on 2020 America, I don’t know what to tell you
positive · AI labelView post →i think Eddington is a really great film about how vulnerable people are to being manipulated by capitalists when there is no mainstream critique of capitalism available to them and it's OK if you don't agree because to err, is human
positive · AI labelView post →Eddington the most aggressively American movie I think i've ever seen. Perfectly captures our decades long psychosis caused by living in this country
positive · AI labelView post →Eddington is a much better this movie partly because it has an actual point of view and also because no one says the name of the movie until TWENTY minutes in instead of almost immediately like in the one that sucks
positive · AI labelView post →One Battle After Another had a greater immediate impact on me, but the more I think about Eddington, the more I feel like it's thee movie of the moment. it captured something.
positive · AI labelView post →Some incredible replies to this from various Movie Understanders who thought Eddington was right wing
neutral · AI labelView post →Eddington discourse has reached “I haven’t seen the movie but I’m going to shit on it because a vaguely popular critic said it’s bad” levels
neutral · AI labelView post →A little over 2 hours into EDDINGTON, a 2 hour and 25 minute movie, a guy two rows ahead of us yelled “Disgusting!” and walked out. That’s the stuff.
neutral · AI labelView post →EDDINGTON is my least favorite film of 2025 so far. Its ethos is the same as Jon Stewart’s RALLY TO RESTORE SANITY: “Our lives would be soooo much better if the media for BOTH sides, who are equally guilty, were not as extreme, amirite??” No Ari Aster. That’s not how any of this works. Hated this.

neutral · AI labelView post →EDDINGTON will probably be my new go-to example of a movie whose cast of characters consists entirely of antagonists

positive · AI labelView post →i think this post could have done "big numbers" if more than like 50 people had gone to see Eddington. On that tip, I think this new article about it in Jacobin is the best criticism of the film I've seen jacobin.com/2025/07/eddi...

positive · AI labelView post →it is a movie designed to make you mad, i think. anyway all the heat for OBAA should instead be directed at Eddington because that would be more fun for me on a personal level.
neutral · AI labelView post →'Eddington' sounds like a great film and also like a film I absolutely do not want to see 📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Eddington. Wow that's a movie whose relevance has only been exacerbated since release. Difficult as it was to enjoy, I did.
positive · AI labelView post →EDDINGTON was a horror movie as well as a comedy and a western
neutral · AI labelView post →I have wrestled with EDDINGTON. It may have won. This movie is going to produce some of the best writing of 2025 when it gets released. Strap in. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/eddi...
positive · AI labelView post →It's difficult to distinguish between a real Democratic ad and the satirical one in Ari Aster's film Eddington.
neutral · AI labelView post →One Battle After Another is a great movie but it's sboutvth characters themselves it's not truly "political." Eddington is sure as shit is a political movie
