Ari Aster Breaks Down the Ambiguous Ending of Eddington

Ari Aster Breaks Down the Ambiguous Ending of Eddington

Time​ Magazine18 hours ago
Warning: This piece contains major spoilers for the ending of Eddington.
Ari Aster is no stranger to making movies that get people's attention. His debut feature, Hereditary, and his sophomore effort, Midsommar, were huge successes for distributor A24 and helped spark conversation about 'elevated horror.' Aster kept audiences guessing with his wildly ambitious Beau is Afraid, a three-hour comedy-horror starring Joaquin Phoenix that wasn't successful at the box office, but certainly generated plenty of conversation among those who saw it.
Eddington, his fourth feature, is his most divisive yet. It takes place in May 2020 in the fictional small town of Eddington, New Mexico, as the heat of the COVID-19 pandemic meets the urgency of the Black Lives Matter movement. It follows Joe Cross (Phoenix), Eddington's sheriff, who lives with his wife, Louise (Emma Stone), and mother-in-law Dawn (Deirdre O'Connell), the latter of whom regularly espouses conspiracy theories. Joe, who has asthma, strongly opposes the implementation of mask mandates that Mayor Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal) is keen to enforce. Furious over the perceived infringement on his and his neighbors' freedom, Joe decides on a whim to challenge Ted in the upcoming election. Things escalate completely out of control from there.
'The film is about a bunch of people who care about the world and know that something is wrong,' says Aster, who wrote and directed Eddington, of its take on that recent era's brewing distrust. 'They feel very clearly that something is wrong, but they're all living in different realities, and they disagree about what that thing is that's wrong.' While the townspeople debate the building of a giant new data center which will bring jobs and industry but drain natural resources, its citizens confront the conflict between police and Black Lives Matter protestors, anger and frustration over masks, and the rampant conspiracy theories increasingly finding a foothold among citizens living much of their lives on the internet.
We sat down with Aster to discuss the film's explosive ending and what he's trying to say through all the violence, twists, and 11th-hour gags.
Everything falls apart for Joe
While Joe's campaign for mayor gains steam, things at home are crumbling. Louise is furious that he entered the race without discussing it with her, but when he makes a video claiming that Ted is a sexual predator who took advantage of Louise when she was underage, things take a turn for the worse. Louise makes a video in response stating that Joe's claims are utterly false, leading Joe's credibility to falter. She leaves Joe for Vernon (Austin Butler), a cult leader whose belief in a powerful ring of pedophiles Louise hops on board with.
After a heated public interaction with Ted, who brutally slaps Joe (in an altercation set ironically to Katy Perry's 'Firework'), Joe is left completely defeated. He does the unthinkable, killing both Ted and their son in their home at long range from the desert, sniper style. Joe then sprays 'No Justice, No Peace' on Ted's wall, attempting to pin the murders on Antifa, which has been gaining attention via viral videos. When a police officer from the nearby Pueblo tribe (William Belleau) gets involved with the investigation, citing sovereignty over the land from which the bullets were fired, and quickly becomes suspicious of Joe, the sheriff begins to spiral.
Suddenly, in the middle of the night, a group of masked extremists descends, luring Joe to the outskirts of town where they plan to wreak havoc. They detonate explosives that kill one of Joe's fellow police officers and severely wounds the other, Michael (Micheal Ward), who has been hoping he might fill Joe's shoes if Joe wins the election, while also being pressured to join the BLM protests as one of the town's small number of Black residents. Joe finds himself in a firefight for his life on the streets of Eddington, arming himself at a gun shop and dodging bullets through the empty town in a lengthy Western-style shootout.
Multiple interpretations of who the shooters might be
Eddington is a movie of screens. They dictate the way the people of Eddington live, as real to them as the world outside. Characters are constantly on their phones or computers, scrolling social media, watching YouTube, and going down various rabbit holes about government conspiracies, mask-wearing, and whatever else reinforces their worldviews. 'Every character is paranoid, and they're all very certain of what they feel is happening,' says Aster. That sense of paranoia infects every frame of Eddington. And just as characters are consumed by their screens, 'the film becomes possessed by the worldview of these characters,' Aster says.
But once the pivotal shootout happens, screens are almost nowhere to be found. The sudden disappearance is almost enough to make you think Joe is undergoing some horrifying COVID-induced fever dream. Aster confirmed that shifting from omnipresent electronic devices to none at all was purposeful. 'In the climactic sequence, there's no longer any need for screens. They've done their job,' he says, suggesting that paranoia has well and truly taken over in Eddington.
Joe finds himself roaming Eddington, shooting at anyone and everyone attacking him, including not-so-accidentally killing the Pueblo officer who found evidence to connect Joe to Ted's murder. Shots cut through the air, and bullets hail from every direction as Joe tries to stay alive. 'You have those anonymous shooters emerging from the dark,' says Aster. 'That feels like an interesting metaphor for how the internet tends to work. It grants us anonymity in a way that I think does not bring out our better selves.'
It's telling that Aster uses the word 'anonymous,' despite an earlier scene clearly establishing men geared up and donning Antifa insignia coming into Eddington via plane. 'The film is meant to function as something of a Rorschach test. That is the moment at which the film either announces itself as satire, or announces itself as a way that's really getting at what's happening—more conspiracy-minded people,' says Aster.
Just because Eddington presents the shooters as Antifa doesn't mean that's necessarily who they are. 'Everything that's there would tell us that those people are Antifa, whether that means that they're being sent in by the GOP to make it look like Antifa is dangerous, or whether you're on the other side and you believe that George Soros is sending them in.' But Aster won't say which he believes it to be: 'It felt important and maybe a little impish to leave that to the viewer,' he says.
A third alternative beyond an assault secretly organized by the left or right? Perhaps the killers have been hired by the powers that want to build the data center in Eddington. The data center is on the periphery of the film, but it's clear that very wealthy and powerful people are invested in the development of the center, and a town already engulfed in a national media circus is hardly a suitable place for its installation. Is all the violence and division just a distraction from the real problem? Perhaps they posed as Antifa and brought violence to the town to destabilize it so they could come into that power vacuum, offering jobs and stability, just what a torn-up Eddington would desperately need.
The unlikely rise of Brian and Dawn
The brutal shootout ends thanks to Brian (Cameron Mann), a teenager who has been an active member of the Black Lives Matter protests, though only to impress a girl he likes. Brian guns down an assailant, but not before the latter stabs Joe in the head. The moment is captured on film (bringing screens back to Eddington), and we flash forward one year. The video has gone viral on TikTok, leading the opportunistic Brian to become a sudden icon of the right wing. That includes a hilarious moment where Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene herself demands that Brian receive a Congressional Medal of Honor. Aster says that Kyle Rittenhouse served as the model for Brian's sudden rise.
'Brian is a very interesting and important character in the film, because he is somebody who's not ideologically driven. He's a normal kid looking for community and wants a girlfriend. He joins the left-wing movement for pretty disingenuous reasons. In the end, he'll go where he's wanted. It's a consequence of this hyper-individualistic society that we live in,' says Aster.
After the shootout, Joe is left braindead and in a wheelchair. He's technically serving as mayor, but his conspiracy-pilled mother-in-law, Dawn, has taken over, marking her new role with some fancier pantsuits. The town celebrates the opening of the data center. Joe has accomplished his mission to bring the town together, and got everything he wanted—except the love of his life, who left him for Vernon and is now pregnant with his child. But he's left virtually functionless, forced to live out the rest of his days without any agency. His nurse is sleeping with his mother-in-law, and they all share a bed. 'There's an element of karmic punishment there,' Aster says. 'But it's more of a success story for Dawn. She's somebody who is loaded with convictions, and was looking for a platform, and she ultimately is the mayor at the end.'
The data center at the center of it all
The final shot is not of Joe, Dawn, or any other person. Instead, book-ending the film's opening on the proposed site of the new development, it's of solidgoldmagikarp, the now-completed giant data center, looming in the middle of the New Mexico desert on the outskirts of Eddington. (The name of the data center doesn't reference the Pokémon Magikarp, but rather an AI token that causes disruption or erratic behaviour in AI)..'There are many winners and losers at the end of the film, but there's only one unequivocal winner, and that's the data center,' says Aster.
'It's a peripheral detail in the film, but it's absolutely central to the film's point. It's a hyper-scale data center, which is tied to AI. We begin with the promise of it coming, and we end with it being achieved. There's a way of looking at the film and saying all of those stories and all of these characters are now just training data. The movie itself is training data,' Aster says.
The ending of Eddington remains wide open to interpretation, but that's how Aster sees it. 'It's a movie that's about a bunch of people navigating a crisis while another crisis incubates,' Aster says. That other crisis is the surging of AI. 'AI, at this point, seems too big to fail. It feels like we're in an arms race. The people who are warning us about this are the ones who are ushering it in, and they think that that is relieving them of responsibility. I think the dominant feeling of this moment is one of powerlessness and dread.'
Aster knows that's bleak, but he doesn't see Eddington as nihilistic. "I think there's hope in the fact that the film is a period piece,' Aster says. 'I hope it can give people the opportunity to look back at how we were and maybe in that experience, see a little bit more clearly how we are on the path that we're on and maybe ask the question: Do we want to stay on this path?'

Don't Miss This A24 Sleeper Before It Leaves Netflix This Week

Julia Louis-Dreyfus stars in the 2023 dramedy 'You Hurt My Feelings.' In a world filled with Dunes and Barbies and whatever the latest Christopher Nolan is, many movies are overshadowed—movies that don't scream to be noticed, that aren't backed by gargantuan budgets, that don't have the typical flash and pizzazz that begs us to notice. Heck, even A24, a respected and well-known studio, releases movies you've never heard of; movies that simply observe, quietly and patiently, how people talk to each other, how they misunderstand one another, how they bend the truth out of love or fear or habit. These movies can be hard to spot in the endless churn of the streaming carousel. And when you discover these secret movies, it's exhilarating—at least it is for me. And one of those secrets is leaving Netflix this week. You Hurt My Feelings, a deceptively simple yet profound and perceptive dramedy from A24, was released in 2023 to glowing reviews (the film currently sports 94% on Rotten Tomatoes from 218 reviews, making it one of the best-reviewed movies on Netflix) and a quiet run in theaters. Directed by Nicole Holofcener and starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus in one of her most layered performances, the film never got the splashy attention it deserved (it only grossed $5.7 million worldwide). But in many ways that's fitting, as Holofcener's work has always operated beneath the surface. Her camera is so incisive, always peeling back the veneers of polite conversation to reveal the messy, often contradictory emotions that drive us, that bewilder us. If you've never seen one of her films, now is the perfect time to dive in. But hurry—You Hurt My Feelings is leaving Netflix and your last day to watch it is July 25. The premise is almost comically minor—but, honestly, as someone who's exhausted with modern movies that feel the need to shove complicated pot and overwhelming exposition down my throat, I don't mind 'minor' at all. The story centers on a successful memoirist named Beth (Louis-Dreyfus), who is struggling to write a new book, especially after her agent requests multiple revisions to the latest draft. Things go from bad to worse after Beth overhears her husband, Don (Tobias Menzies), secretly tell his brother-in-law Mark (Arian Moayed) that he doesn't actually like her new book—despite the glowing review he's already given his wife. This shakes the leaves from Beth's trust and confidence in their marriage. Once Beth confronts Don, what follows isn't as explosive as you might expect it to be, but instead simmering and pulsating: arguments that begin in one room and trail into the next; awkward dinners that never get on the right track; therapy sessions laced with passive-aggression. It's not just about a single comment made by a spouse, but about everything such secrecy calls into question: Do we need our loved ones to like what we make? Is honesty always the best policy? And what happens when the support we rely on turns out to be built on a white lie? There are lots of reasons to watch You Hurt My Feelings, but the main attraction is the award-worthy acting on display. As Beth, Louis-Dreyfus is filled with surface confidence and performs her writerly role with ease—until the smallest crack appears and her sense of self begins to quietly unravel. This dynamic recalls her iconic roles in Seinfeld and Veep, as this small twist in her character brings with it a subtle physicality: she uses pauses, hesitations and half-finished sentences to capture a woman suddenly unsure of the ground beneath her. It's a performance built on restraint, allowing vulnerability to creep in slowly rather than overwhelm. As her husband Don, Menzies is equally (and refreshingly) as understated, matching Louis-Dreyfus note for note, never hogging the screen but building the tension of their temporarily in-limbo relationship. He plays Don with the worn-down warmth of a man who cares deeply about his wife and her feelings but is too emotionally exhausted to say the right thing at the right time. Menzies doesn't make Don overtly antagonistic; instead, he's thoughtful, distracted and often unaware of how much meaning his words carry. His portrayal suggests someone who's spent years learning how to say the supportive thing…without ever being quite sure if he means it. Together, Louis-Dreyfus and Menzies create a portrait of a couple that feels deeply lived-in, often (if not always) in a painfully familiar way. Their chemistry is quiet, based not on grand declarations but on familiarity: the way they interrupt each other, the way they sit in silence, the way one's insecurities leak into the other's reaction. You believe they've been together for decades, not because they're still in love in some cinematic way, but because they know each other too well to ever fully disconnect. Again, that aspect of the movie feels so familiar, so real—a rarity in modern film. That familiarity becomes the film's emotional engine, comforting and terrifying in equal measure. You Hurt My Feelings is the perfect addition to the cinematic world Holofcener has built for decades, a filmography that rarely feature plot twists or heightened drama. Instead, Holofcener excels at mining tension from everyday interactions—an offhand comment from a friend, a parent's misplaced advice, a partner's lack of attention. Holofcener's career has taken an interesting evolution over the years: earlier films like Walking and Talking (released in 1996) and Lovely & Amazing (2001) established her as a prominent voice in character-driven independent cinema, particularly stories about women navigating personal disappointments and social expectations; Friends with Money (2006) and Please Give (2010) tackled class anxiety and midlife malaise with humor and insight, (often starring Catherine Keener, a frequent collaborator); and Enough Said (2013) showed a newfound softness and romantic optimism that hadn't been as prominent in more acerbic work. The director's films often feel like novellas come to life—short, emotionally intricate and rooted in the rhythms of real conversation. What sets You Hurt My Feelings apart is that it turns those rhythms inward, focusing not on external dilemmas, but internal ruptures. It's a movie about perception: how we perceive ourselves, and how fragile that perception can be when challenged by the people we trust most. You Hurt My Feelings received strong critical acclaim upon its release, with a 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes and numerous write-ups praising its precision and charm. Christy Lemire of praises the ever-satisfying writing of Holofcener, a writer/director who 'finds both humor and wisdom within the complexity of her cringe comedy, providing rich fodder for conversations afterward.' Meanwhile, Owen Gleiberman of Variety praises the film for remaining small, for allowing the story to hit home for anyone who relates to these incredibly lived-in characters ("it may just have a lesson for us all," he writes). And finally, Stephanie Zacharek of Time calls the film 'delightful,' writing that 'as a story about how New Yorkers get by, making marriages and family relationships work in one of the toughest cities of the world, it's both smart and entertaining.' Sitting at a brisk 93 minutes, You Hurt My Feelings is a rare kind of film: emotionally rich, effortlessly paced and surprisingly funny. It's perfect for a quiet night in, for anyone who's ever second-guessed their creative work or wondered if their loved ones are just humoring them. In a streaming landscape dominated by spectacle, this is a rare gem that earns its power through conversation and pause.

When It Feels Good to Root for a Bad Guy

This article features spoilers for the ending of Eddington. The director Ari Aster specializes in bringing stress dreams to life: becoming plagued by a demonic curse, as seen in his debut film, Hereditary; joining an evil Scandinavian cult, in his follow-up, Midsommar; realizing a person's every fear, as occurs in the strange, picaresque Beau Is Afraid. But for his latest movie, Eddington, he turns to a more prosaic topic to get our blood running: the events of 2020. The film initially presents itself as a neo-Western, set in the small, fictional New Mexico town of Eddington at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. In true Aster form, the familiar portrait of that period—and the gnarly headspace it trapped many of us in—disintegrates into something disturbingly surreal. The film dramatizes this downward spiral through the experience of a man consumed by anxiety about how his community is shifting around him. Lockdown may have driven some people to question one another's reality; Eddington 's protagonist, however, seeks control of his—with violent and gory results. In interviews about his inspirations, Aster has invoked John Ford's masterpiece My Darling Clementine, a bittersweet retelling of the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. But what I thought of more than anything while watching Eddington was Taxi Driver, a dark fable that's grounded in the point of view of a delusional maniac similarly defined by his paranoid, even conspiratorial, thinking. In the Martin Scorsese classic, Travis Bickle (played by Robert De Niro) lives out his fantasy of 'cleaning up' New York City by murdering a man who prostituted young girls in a brothel; the subsequent press coverage cements him as a folk hero, ending the film on a strange, bloodily triumphal note. The local sheriff in Eddington, Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix), is the film's Bickle, though his final showdown is a far more absurd spectacle than the one in Taxi Driver. Aster's film is frightening, yes—but it's a dark and lacerating comedy first and foremost, playing out the power fantasies that fueled many an online conspiracy theory in the pandemic's early days (and still do now). And although Cross may not be as crushingly lonely as Bickle, he does share the character's escalating sense of paranoia. By plunging the viewer into this chaotic inner world, Aster illustrates the dissonant appeal of being enmeshed in the perspective of, and maybe even rooting for, an individual committed to their belief in justice—even if that commitment can border on sordid. Each of Aster's movies descends into chaos by its third act, but the bloodbath at the end of Eddington is particularly challenging because of what precedes it: a recognizable, if satirical, investigation of life under lockdown. As such, the film is much more concerned with modern society than the director's past work, contorting the anxiety and extreme politicization that arose during the early pandemic to fit into Aster's strange world. Embodying those feelings is Cross, a lonely sheriff who eventually stands up to shadowy, destructive forces. Eddington introduces its protagonist in much more mundane fashion, however. Cross serves the town of Eddington as a useless figure of authority—a shiftless, asthmatic grump who mumbles complaints at lawbreakers and halfheartedly manages a staff of cops at his office. When the film starts, he is struggling to uphold the state-mandated quarantine regulations, which he rarely follows himself. Eventually, the viewer learns that Cross has a personal connection to the position; his father-in-law once held it, and his tenure is still revered by both his family and his community. But Cross can hardly keep up with his job's basic tasks, let alone the kind of slick change represented by the person often challenging his control over Eddington: its mayor, Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal). Garcia, unlike Cross, is a friendly, tech-focused modernizer; he's backing the construction of a local data center that has proved divisive. Garcia and Cross's mutual disdain initially drives the film's tension: Garcia has some personal animosity with Cross that revolves around a rumored, long-ago dalliance withthe sheriff's wife, Louise (Emma Stone). Just as Garcia and Cross become fixated on each other, Louise develops an obsession with a seeming cult leader named Vernon Jefferson Peak (Austin Butler). Peak posts his elliptical wisdom in popular short-form videos that Louise affirms in the comments. Louise's mother, Dawn (Deirdre O'Connell), who lives with the Crosses, is similarly buying into questionable lines of thinking; she's constantly spouting misinformation about the origins of the pandemic, and parroting whatever else comes across her Facebook feed. Eddington makes plenty of satirical sport of all the characters, including a swath of overly sensitive teenage protesters. But the rageful engine driving Cross's actions is more disquieting than simple family or small-town drama. In the simplest read of what happens next, Cross becomes a local celebrity of sorts. After an altercation with Garcia at a supermarket, instigated when the sheriff supports a customer refusing to wear a mask—and similarly goes without one, pointing to how it affects his asthma—Cross announces his own mayoral run. He campaigns on a vague populist platform of throwing unhoused people out of town and resisting COVID restrictions, posting his progressively more inflammatory screeds to Facebook. The ramblings go viral, pushing Cross into further confrontations with Garcia. The sheriff's simmering anger, which reaches boiling point as a result of Eddington's growing air of claustrophobia and his own loosening grip on his life, leads to Cross assassinating Garcia. He kills Garcia's son too, and tries to cover up both murders by pinning the blame on a fellow cop. But as the sheriff's tangled web of lies begins to unravel—and his focus is diverted further away from the town—Eddington is besieged by frightening special-ops forces of unknown origin. The attack culminates in a bloody gun battle in the streets, and Cross barely survives; he emerges as a vigilante who has defended his community from, well, somebody. The film ends with Cross, now paralyzed and heavily medicated, functioning as the town's mayor. Unlike that of Taxi Driver 's Bickle, however, the sheriff's victory is a hollow one; his mother-in-law appears to have seized the real power behind the throne, rendering him more a puppet than an icon. This turn of events offers a perfectly grim button to Cross's ridiculous hallucinations of grandeur. But it's also a reminder from Aster that for all the thrilling gunplay of Eddington 's final act, there is no real happy ending awaiting Cross. Eddington does not aim to be a simple tale of heroism, and its events are so outlandish that they are hard to take at face value. The movie, in its fullest expression, is a feverish swirl of the charged opinions that drove so many conversations during the pandemic's height—be they from the right, the left, or all the way on the fringe. The shadowy characters invading Eddington could be interpreted as a fascist hit squad or an antifa battalion; on-screen, they simply represent the nonsensical extremes that our internet-addled brains are capable of reaching. The uncomfortable result is that Aster at times seems to be challenging the audience to root for Cross, despite laying out all his buffoonery very plainly—because even the most composed person may have found the limits of their patience tested at some point during those strange, dark days.
