Eddington Reviews: Pedro Pascal & Emma Stone Movie Divides Critics at Cannes
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has garnered a 67% score with just 12 reviews in as of now. All 12 of the reviews come from the film's premiere at Cannes, and paint a polarizing picture for what fans can expect.
Indiewire's David Ehrlich loved the film, saying it 'captures the day-to-day extent to which our digital future has stripped people of their ability to self-identify their own truths.' Likewise, Variety's Owen Gleiberman noted that the film features much of what makes Aster a 'stimulating filmmaker,' even if he indulges in himself a bit too much.
Deadline's Damon Wise praised the film's satirical take on COVID and modern times, saying that '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.'
Not every review was popular, though. The Financial Times' Raphael Abraham said the film 'boils down to is a big-screen amplification of a billion 'WTF is going on?!' posts rather than any kind of coherent response to them.' The Times' Kevin Maher similarly said the film feels 'unsure of what it wants to say.'
Eddington stars Joaquin Phoenix, Austin Butler, Emma Stone, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O'Connell, Micheal Ward, Clifton Collins Jr., William Belleau, Cameron Mann, Matt Gomez Hidaka, and Amélie Hoeferle.
'A small-town sheriff (Phoenix) and mayor (Pascal) sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico,' the official synopsis for Eddington reads.
Eddington will be released in United States theaters on July 18, 2025, from A24.

Together Reviews Lead To Excellent Rotten Tomatoes Score for Horror Movie
Following early reviews, Together has earned widespread critical acclaim, debuting with a Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. While its grotesque visuals and relationship themes invite comparisons to David Cronenberg's work, the film establishes its own identity as a bold, emotionally raw body horror romance. Together gets stellar reviews from critics Adam Graham (Detroit News) called the psychological layers of the script 'just as potent as the eventual literalizing of their fears.' Bill Goodykoontz (Arizona Republic) noted, 'If you can't laugh while you squirm, it's unbearable. Together is more than bearable. It's really fun.' Rocco T. Thompson (Slant Magazine) highlighted that 'Together treats its body horror as just another wrinkle in the complexities of what it means to love someone else.' Tomris Laffly ( remarked, 'Finding out whether an on-screen couple have what it takes has rarely felt this cutting, and, ultimately, this rewarding.' Kristen Lopez (The Film Maven) said, 'Together is a wild ride that, for all the squishing and melding, is also a powerful story of romantic complacency.' Bob Strauss (San Francisco Chronicle) described the film as cutting 'blood-curdling rawness with sensitivity,' praising the physical acting. Brian Tallerico ( observed that the film turns long-term relationship questions into 'physical horror in a way that's unforgettable.' David Rooney (The Hollywood Reporter) stated, 'Director Shanks is in his devilishly playful element,' while Owen Gleiberman (Variety) wrote, 'It works as a totally unhinged yet far from mindless thriller built around a Big Idea.' Together is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes As of July 30, 2025, Together holds a certified fresh score of 99% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 87 critic reviews. The near-unanimous praise marks it as one of the best-reviewed horror films of the year. An official audience score has yet to be posted, as the film currently has fewer than 50 verified ratings. Directed by Michael Shanks, Together follows longtime couple Tim (Dave Franco) and Millie (Alison Brie) as a move to the countryside turns into a nightmare when a mysterious force physically fuses them. The film uses body horror to explore love, co-dependency, and the fear of losing oneself in a relationship. The film hit in theaters on July 30, 2025.

‘Fubar' Canceled By Netflix After 2 Seasons
EXCLUSIVE: Netflix is not proceeding with a third season of Arnold Schwarzenegger's spy action series Fubar. The decision comes about a month and a half after Season 2 launched on the platform on June 12. It follows surprisingly soft performance for the series, which, likely fueled by Schwarzenegger's global star power, had a strong series launch in May 2023 and also stars Monica Barbaro who became an Oscar nominee between Seasons 1 and 2 for A Complete Unknown. More from Deadline 7 Differences In Netflix's 'My Oxford Year' Film Vs.

Season 2 peaked at #7 in its first full week with 3.3M views and logged one more #10 finish in Week 3 with 1.8M views before dropping out of the Top 10. This still is a rare Netflix cancellation of this year, joining another sophomore action drama, The Recruit, and freshmen Pulse and The Residence. The streamer has renewed close to 20 scripted shows over that period, most recently limited series Untamed for Season 2, Shane Gillis' comedy Tires for Season 3 and romantic dramas Ransom Canyon for Season 2 and Virgin River for Season 8. Fubar centers on a CIA operative (Schwarzenegger) on the verge of retirement who discovers a family secret and is forced to go back into the field for one last job.
