How to watch Eddington in the UK – is it streaming?

by

Hailing from the creative mind of Ari Aster, who brought us the acclaimed films Midsommar and Hereditary, comes Eddington – a chilling new thriller that also delves into politics, unfolding during the peak of the 2020 lockdown.

Similar to his earlier film “Beau Is Afraid”, Eddington’s latest work has garnered a varied response thus far, attracting some critique concerning its approach towards its theme, yet appears poised to accumulate numerous admirers.

The initial three-star review following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival described it as “rich in themes yet excessively lengthy,” and further noted that while it’s commendable for being brimming with ideas, the overall impression is that of an overheated, chaotic chaos.

For some time now, the movie has been screened overseas. Here’s your guide on how to catch “Eddington” in the United Kingdom.

Eddington UK release date – is it streaming?

In the United Kingdom, rather than streaming, you can catch Eddington on the big screen in cinemas, as it’s set to debut some weeks following its mid-July premiere in the U.S.

Eddington releases on Friday 22nd August across the UK – so head to your local cinema to watch it.

For the time being, Eddington is only available for viewing, but we’ll let you know as soon as we learn about any streaming release dates. We’re keeping our fingers crossed!

Eddington cast – who stars in the film?

The film Eddington features Joaquin Phoenix, an Academy Award winner, in the leading role as Sheriff Joe Cross, and reteams him with writer-director Ari Aster, who previously worked together on the production of Beau Is Afraid.

In this rephrased version, Pedro Pascal, a presently frequent figure in various productions, stars opposite Phoenix as Ted Garcia, the rival mayoral candidate and current mayor of Eddington, who is running against Joe for the position.

This way, the sentence maintains the original meaning but is easier to comprehend with more natural language usage.

As a film enthusiast, I can’t help but mention that Emma Stone breathes life into the character of Louise, Joe’s wife, while Austin Butler brings an intense presence as the enigmatic cult leader, Vernon Peak, in this captivating production.

In addition, you’ll notice actors such as Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Amélie Hoeferle, and Clifton Collins Jr. A complete list of the cast is provided further down for your convenience:

Eddington plot – what is it about?

During the peak of the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak, the story unfolds around the contentious relationship between Joe Cross and Ted Garcia. As they clash and argue over topics such as mask usage during the pandemic and Black Lives Matter demonstrations, their disagreements escalate, leading to growing hostility towards one another.

The movie carries a strong political undertone and brings attention to several influential incidents from our recent past, potentially leading to differing opinions among viewers.

Aster’s commentary about the happenings in 2020 is steadfast, a style that might make some spectators uneasy.
