Eddington

15

Ari Aster’s (Hereditary, Midsommar) fourth feature takes the form of a classic showdown between two opposing forces, small-town sheriff Joe (Joaquin Phoenix) and progressive mayor Ted (Pedro Pascal) over the future of Eddington, New Mexico (population 2,345), as neighbor is pitted against neighbor and conspiracies start to spiral out of control.

With brilliant conciseness, Eddington touches on issues that so dominate American society and life – race, class, social media, technology, and guns.
