In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and mayor (Pedro Pascal) sparks a powder keg as neighbour is pitted against neighbour in Eddington, New Mexico.
Critics Consensus:
Eddington carries a stellar cast, fearless direction by Ari Aster and an off-kilter story.
Audience Says:
Backed by an unanimously phenomenal cast, Eddington captures pandemic-era trauma, delivering an unmistakably Ari Aster film: idiosyncratic, enigmatic, and polarizing.
