Aster films still cause many reactions. It was afraid of heredity, Midsommar and Beau, but the latter did not receive the same complimentary acceptance. For the first time in Cannes – and in competition – the director introduces Edington, whose promise paints a fractured portrait of a fractured American.
Synopis presents himself as follows: “In May 2020, the confrontation between Sheriff and the Mayor in the small town of Mexico in New -Mexico, in New -Mexico, powderes the population against each other.“
There are many stars in casting, including Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone, Austin Butler, Luke Grams or Michael Rose. The film looked at this Friday, May 16 in the skin and received a constant ovation for five minutes with a particularly displaced Joakin Phoenix.

Here are the reactions of the first viewer:
Fractured and paranoid modern America approaches the head #MomingtonAri Aster’s psychedelic, provocative and humorous West. Another form of horror that goes in all directions to reflect genius violence and absurdity of the universe. #Skin 2025 pic.twitter.com/wfbqvdftb9

Along with Edington, Aster deconstructs Rio Bravo Kovid, conspiracy and Maga. Horrible Neo-West, where Joakin Phoenix plays the opposite way: coward, individualistic, fur. If the film relies on stock, it is completely married to the madness of the 2020s. pic.twitter.com/rz659mpokt

#Momington
Frustration of the year.
An episode of unsuccessful, pretentious and not ridiculous sympsons.

America on fire and blood!#Momington A good blow to the figure that includes the same movement in Grotesque, Parano and convincing satire in the film.
Both lucid and a little vain, but especially confirms that Ari Aster performs the art of discomfort as no one pic.twitter.com/4yzcdmlf6t

Edington is not just a final film about a pandemic, it may be the most mediocre portrait, but how deeply America is in paranoia, hysteria and non -Poliological selfishness. What begins as a humiliating political comment in mortal murder… pic.twitter.com/hfgaaswsp

“Edington is not only a movie about the final pandemic, it can be the most faithful portrait for the deepest day that America has sunk in paranoia, hysteria, and tireless selfishness. That begins as a major political comment, turns into a murder investigation.
Joaquin Phoenix once again revealed the ideal tool with a violation of Aster. Overcrowded with black humor and not afraid of irritation, this is a new kind of horror film for aster. “
Edington: Self -helping, routine mess. It begins as a tooth satire on Covid/BLM of summer and nail culture, it will deteriorate as it becomes a violent dark comedy. Scary. #Skin 2025 pic.twitter.com/zycbkesccC

“Edington: A self -helping and boring disaster. Originally uninteresting satire Covid/Black Lives in the summer of summer and current cultural wars, the film will deteriorate to become a violent black comedy. Scary.“
#Skin 2025 Edington is obviously the most obvious film of Aster, the neo-West sank between the missing America and the post-Similla.
This is obviously not good, overloaded with sub -integration and slight self -sufficiency, but it gains an era in a terrible way. pic.twitter.com/ai8nxmpp

Ari Aster explodes with modern post-Quadian modern America provocateur #MomingtonBetween the black headlights, the thriller parano and the western shimmering, intense, naked and wonderful chaos.
It divides more than the owl is afraid. Dinger. #Skin 2025 pic.twitter.com/7tv8jgyon

Ari aster Edington
For fun of the caviar period, Edington is a terribly effective film in the first part. He then evacuates his subject and leaves in all directions, without the use of his 5 -star actor. It is also difficult to find the charm of previous films. pic.twitter.com/oqktxniwf

Ari aster goes wherever we don’t expect #MomingtonCoenian Western with Rockstar sauce, which spreads modern America in a free drop in Maga, performed by Joakin Phoenix. Humorous, he throws red balls, even in an absolutely pleasant climax. Great!#Skin 2025 pic.twitter.com/inblkjpgag

Edington was first identified with intriguing TIZ – above. There is no doubt that the film will continue to argue when it came out. To get your opinion, go to the movies on July 16.
