Eddington, the latest film from Hereditary director Ari Aster, is a dark comedy about COVID-fueled chaos in a fictional New Mexico town. The film wades into hot-button topics regarding police brutality, the Black Lives Matter movement, AI investment, and mask mandates, among others. Ari Aster is asking for trouble with Eddington.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a hot-button issue in the American culture war that Ari Aster ‘s “Eddington” doesn’t take a swing at.

The director’s polarizing new film comes after the commercial failure of ‘Beau Is Afraid.’ He’s not not worried.

Eddington will only available to watch in a movie theater, when it opens in the U.S. in theaters on Friday, July 18. You can find a showing near you via Fandango. The Eddington movie is not yet available to watch online or on streaming.

Ari Aster and the Museum of the Moving Image will host an 'Eddington'-inspired film series with Aster in attendance.

The first and maybe only true jump scare in Ari Aster’s “Eddington” comes right at the start. A barefoot old man trudges down the center of a road running through an empty Western town. He’s ranting and incoherently raving as he climbs a craggy hill silhouetted against a twilight sky. He gazes, or maybe glares, out at the town below.

He's collaborated with everyone from David Fincher to the Safdies, but the Iranian-born cinematographer, most recently of "Eddington," wants them all to feel like family.
