Eddington
A standoff between a small-town sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and mayor (Pedro Pascal) sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in May of 2020 in Eddington, New Mexico.

Eddington is a huge swing. It’s an ambitious series of ideas that lack any form of cohesiveness until the story begins to find its footing at the halfway point. Its broad scope of talking points is fascinating in a vacuum, but navigating through this madness makes for an uneven and often overly convoluted result. When everything comes together, especially during its third act, it features some of the best filmmaking of the year. Unfortunately its tonal inconsistencies and lack of focus keeps it from being that masterful product Aster is aiming for.
