This Anne Hathaway thriller is 2023’s freakiest movie. Here’s why you should watch it
A woman smokes with another woman in Eileen.

Early December is the time to attend to the usual list of things to do before the year ends, such as pay overdue bills, buy those last-minute gifts, or grudgingly attend painfully awkward Christmas parties. It's also a time to feast on the best cinema has to offer, as studios and independent distributors alike release movie after movie designed to win awards and the stone-cold hearts of critics worldwide.

Chances are, you've seen Oppenheimer, and have at least heard of Killers of the Flower Moon, Napoleon, or The Holdovers. All of those movies are excellent and deserve to be seen, but there's one movie that's flying under the radar that's equally worthy of attention. Eileen is being marketed as a thriller, and while it does have its share of thrills, it's so much more than that. It's also a great atmospheric mood piece and an excellent showcase for two actresses at the top of their game. It also possesses one of the most infuriating endings of the year. Eileen is freaky (you just never know quite where it's going) and indefinable, and it's 2023's most beguiling movie.
Eileen has a great sense of time and place
