Ari Aster‘s explosive satire, which drew a nearly seven-minute standing ovation in its launch at Cannes earlier this year, will being streaming on HBO Max on Friday, Nov. 14. The A24 film will debut on HBO linear on Saturday, Nov. 15 at 8 pm ET.
Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal, the genre-bender is set during the Covid-19 pandemic, watching as a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Phoenix) and mayor (Pascal) sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, N.M.
Cast also includes Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Amélie Hoeferle, Clifton Collins Jr., William Belleau, with Austin Butler and Emma Stone.
In Deadline’s review, Damon Wise praised Aster for being “willing to go there” with his satire of modern-day America and all its challenges — “a slice of history that we have yet to see properly shown on film, even though it happened only five years ago.”
“It’s about the elephant in the room: the emergent likes of QAnon, 4Chan and the Proud Boys, things that did more damage than Covid ever did, leaving a raw, still-festering wound,” Wise wrote. “Without ceremony or mercy, Eddington rips the Band-Aid off, and not everyone is going to want to look at, or think about, what’s there underneath it.”
