Joaquin Phoenix Tears Up, Eddington Divides, and Cannes Can't Stop Clapping | Hollywood's Enigmatic Leading Man
Joaquin Phoenix BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Joaquin Phoenix has commanded both headlines and conversations once again, with his role in Ari Aster's much-talked-about pandemic-era Western Eddington taking center stage this week. Variety reports that Eddington—in which Phoenix stars as a conservative small-town sheriff who collides with Pedro Pascal’s progressive mayor in the heat of the COVID-19 pandemic—will begin streaming exclusively on HBO Max on November 14, following a divisive but high-profile theatrical and festival run earlier this year. The film, produced by A24, opened to considerable anticipation yet underdelivered at the box office, debuting with $4.3 million and ultimately reaching $13 million globally, a modest sum given its pedigree. Still, critics lauded Phoenix’s performance and Ari Aster’s direction, labeling Eddington as one of the year’s most provocative and timely cinematic explorations of political and social discord, with Emma Stone and Austin Butler rounding out a high-wattage cast according to Seat42F and ScreenRant.
Eddington’s journey so far has yielded more than just numbers. Its Cannes Film Festival premiere in May drew a five-minute standing ovation, with AOL capturing the emotional moment as Phoenix teared up—a rare show of vulnerability that sparked widespread commentary. Ari Aster’s speech was typically understated, but Phoenix’s visible reaction became fodder for industry satire, inspiring writer Luke Barnett’s new short film Ovation, which lampoons the strange agony of the endless festival ovation. According to Variety, Barnett was directly inspired by watching Phoenix appear both grateful and increasingly exasperated as the applause wore on, an image that has quickly become a meme and frequent topic in social conversations online.
Elsewhere in the media, Phoenix’s earlier work is back in the limelight. Lynne Ramsay, director of You Were Never Really Here, reflected at the BFI London Film Festival on working with Phoenix, describing him as “totally terrifying” but also the most exciting actor she’s ever encountered, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. Meanwhile, historical context from his filmography is resurfacing, with commentators at KoiMoi drawing unflattering box office comparisons between current releases and Phoenix’s prior epic, suggesting public focus on both his hits and misses continues.
On the social media front, there’s a steady stream of fan posts tied to Eddington’s upcoming streaming drop and clips from that viral Cannes moment. While no major personal announcements or controversy have emerged in the last few days, Phoenix’s measured yet magnetic public appearances, especially at high-profile festival screenings, have only cemented his reputation as Hollywood’s most enigmatic leading man. As Eddington readies for its digital debut, industry insiders and fans alike are keeping close watch, knowing that with Joaquin Phoenix, every appearance and performance might signal another major moment in cinematic history.
