Aster once quipped that he couldn’t believe A24 was “stupid enough” to give him $35M to make “Beau Is Afraid.” They shelled out another $30M for “Eddington,” which also failed to ignite. Maybe that’s the end of that partnership. Bless their twisted hearts, they are back again for another dip into Aster-world.

Ari Aster is one of my favorite filmmakers working today. Beau Is Afraid is a masterpiece in my opinion and his other three movies are all terrific. I'm so glad A24 continues to roll the dice on him and hope he can make something that finds a bit more success without sacrificing his own vision.
