4 / 5
Translated from swedish: With "Eddington", Ari Aster has created a sharp political pandemic satire that takes the concept of going completely overboard to delightfully new heights. The film is somewhat uneven in places, but if you enjoy twisted dark humor and body parts literally flying around, then this is the movie for you.

4 / 5
Translated from swedish: It takes courage to portray contemporary times when others would rather escape from them. You get swept up in the hot satirical brew, trying to decipher all the patterns. In a way, you become a co-conspirator.

-
4 / 5
Translated from swedish: Director Ari Aster's covid-paranoid film is seriously overloaded with contemporary themes, but consistently entertaining.
- Kerstin GezeliusSwedish: dn.se »

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: Dark, dense and anxiety-inducing modern western with a delicate touch.
- André LamartineSwedish: gamereactor.se »

3 / 5
Translated from swedish: Hollywood stars line up in Ari Aster's modern western "Eddington" – a surprisingly flat satire about the pandemic years in the USA.
- Emma ThimgrenSwedish: unt.se »
-
3 / 5
Translated from swedish: While "Eddington" has its merits, and Aster still demonstrates skillful filmmaking, this is his weakest film to date in my opinion.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: "Eddington" may have a subject that could be as explosive as a powder keg, but a lack of courage and a desire to oversimplify leads to a scattered satire that only delivers sporadic highlights.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: This is Ari Aster's best film to date, you could be doing worse things than watching "Eddington", but as is almost always the case, there's no reason it needs to be this long.

Translated from swedish: Ari Aster's social satire becomes overly simplistic
- Björn WernerSwedish: svd.se »
-
2 / 5
Translated from swedish: Joaquin Phoenix is the saving grace in "Eddington". However, horror director Ari Aster's new COVID western has a paper-thin plot.

-
2 / 5
Translated from swedish: Reminds us why the horror genre is still the best at depicting our current times. But Ari Aster either wants too much or too little to succeed.

Translated from swedish: Western-wannabe "Eddington" becomes a disappointment despite all the stars

Translated from swedish: Do we really have nothing new to say about 2020?
