Yeah, I totally felt like Eddington was kind of overloaded with, like, every issue you can think of. Watching it, you could almost make a checklist: COVID, conspiracy theories, Black Lives Matter, white privilege, tech stuff, even cryptocurrency. Some parts legit felt like a meme of every stressful thing from the last few years rolled up in one movie. For me, I kind of wish Aster stuck to just a couple ideas and dug into them more, instead of making it feel like the world's longest Twitter thread.

That said, I get the point—real life probably did feel just as overwhelming, especially in 2020. It's Aster's style to push boundaries, so maybe he wanted to capture that stress. But sometimes, less is more, you know? Sticking to smaller stuff could have made the characters, like Phoenix’s sheriff or Pascal’s mayor, seem real instead of, like, walking stereotypes. But, props to Aster for trying something big. It's worth watching if you wanna see a director just throw everything at the wall to see what sticks!
