Intro: This was my last film at the movies before going on holiday to Corfu, Greece for two weeks. I wasn't necessarily thrilled to watch it, I'll be honest, but the reviews seemed good and the cast phenomenal. So... why not?
Film 2406: "Eddington" (2025), Ari Aster
Watched: At the movies
Language: English
Watched with: Niamh, Debbi, Yegor
Thoughts: I wish Emma Stone would every now and again go back to some lighter entertainment, comedies or anyway something a bit less art house-wibe only. She's a great actress, one of the most talented out there, and we already know it. It's absolutely understandable she wants to challenge herself with new and different roles and I think that's commendable (and vital for her career). That said, I miss the time Stone would star in a movie that... is just a movie and not a statement or a piece of art. End of my rant (if rant can be called).
Did I like "Eddington"? Absolutely not. I find it extremely long and for the most part uneventful. The ending is tense and well executed, but it comes in too late to save the movie for me. A move that, by the way is two and a half hours long. Also, I've never been a big fan of western, to be fair.
So yeah, this film did not do it for me and although it features a crazy talented cast and shares the director of "Hereditary" and "Midsommar", it was a drag to watch and I couldn't engage with the story at all.
Cast: Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O'Connell, Micheal Ward, Clifton Collins Jr., Austin Butler, Emma Stone.
Box Office: $13.1 million
Worth a watch?: I'm sure "Eddington" has its fans, but this movie is just not for me (and it's way too long). Watch it if you're curious, love Ari Aster's work or enjoy any of the actors featured here.
Awards: /
Key word: Albuquerque.
