If someone, halfway through this film, has the intrusive thought that if, instead of Eddington, the town that appears was called Springfield and, instead of a film, this was an episode ofThe Simpsons All of this would be funnier, there would be little to argue with. Because as a black comedy about the behavior of ordinary American citizens in specific situations, Eddington fair. And be careful, because that would still be a benevolent analogy. If instead of the perspective of satire, one wants to evaluate Ari Aster's new film as an allegory of the United States based on the events that take place in the microcosm of a small town, as John Sayles, for example, has done repeatedly (Lone Star, The Promised Land, Silver City…), then the comparison would be bloody.
