Eddington

In a scorching satire of the culture wars, Ari Aster's "Eddington" is a chaotic, freewheeling thrill ride that dissects the toxic politics and paranoia of small-town America during the COVID-19 pandemic. Set in the fictional town of Eddington, New Mexico, where a contentious mayoral election between Sheriff Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix) and Mayor Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal) ignites a powder keg of division and violence, the film is a darkly comedic exploration of how easily neighbor can turn against neighbor.
