“Eddington” spares no one, liberals or conservatives, in its ambitious skewering of our internet-broken brains but that it fails to offer any insight beyond a vision of hopelessness.

You might need to lie down for a bit after “Eddington.” Preferably in a dark room with no screens and no talking. “Eddington,” Ari Aster's latest nightmare vision, is sure to divide (along which lines, I can't fathom) but there is one thing I think everyone will be able to agree on: It is an experience that will leave you asking “WHAT?” The movie opens on the aggravated ramblings of an unhoused man and doesn't get much more coherent from there. Approach with caution.
