Ari Aster seems to revel in messing with the viewer; Beau is Afraid is remarkably divisive, but even though I love it, it is very difficult to categorize.I think Beau is Afraid is funky enough to be misunderstood or have mixed recepition, but will eventually be recognized for it's overall captial-G Greatness.
Eddington, on the other hand, might not even be a good movie, but the more I think about it the more I feel like I come to understand the intention and message, and feel like there's something valuable being conveyed there. I almost want some other director to try and address the same concept, but like...more gooder.
