[Chloe Zhao] puts into full view the kind of moral quandaries that Marvel’s only ever really danced around in the past… But there’s only so much room for that kind of thought.

A Marvel epic that values personal connections over spectacle? Sorry adrenaline junkies, but that’s what Oscar-winning, indie director Chloe Zhao brings to her first blockbuster. The result is uneven, but memorably inclusive and unique.

This is a film that asks on a grand scale questions we grapple with every day. How do we navigate and understand difference? Why do we value humanity so much when humans often do not seem to value each other?

[Zhao is] a master craftswoman, and “Eternals“, while too long (157 minutes? really?), is a squarely fun and gratifying watch.
