Eddington offers a striking depiction of existence during the pandemic and how it affected society, examining ideas related to authority, division within groups, and the breakdown of shared bonds. The film is held together by an exceptional portrayal from Joaquin Phoenix as a character experiencing a gradual descent. Director Ari Aster ventures into unusual territory by blending different styles and making a significant departure from social commentary to a brutal, unsettling action movie roughly halfway through—a decision that simultaneously invigorates and disrupts the narrative's flow. Despite this, the film’s bold artistic choices, its connection to current issues, and the quality of the acting contribute to a thought-provoking and lasting impression. Rating: B
