Eddington is the newest movie from Ari Aster (the guy who did Midsommar), and it's about a small town in New Mexico whose residents get internet brainrot during the opening months of the 2020 pandemic lockdowns.
I'm going to be real and admit that I couldn't sit through Eddington. After about an hour and a bit, me and the people I went to the theater with just all sort of turned to each other and shrugged and got up and left. After reading how the movie ends, I think we probably made the right choice.
People say the acting in this movie is good, but like. It's fine. The cinematography is mid, and the writing is aiming for a type of satire that it's not well-observed or well-researched enough to achieve. Aside from one line that made me feel really bad for laughing, it's not particularly clever or amusing.
Idk man. The movie isn't bad; it's just boring.
