Eddington

Set at the height of COVID panic in a fictional New Mexico town, a showdown between a conservative sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and a progressive mayor (Pedro Pascal) quickly sweeps the town into “a boiling mix of paranoia, racial strife, political resentment, and displaced rage,” as the Watercooler’s Felipe Patterson describes. Adding another layer to the timeliness of the plot, the mayor tries to modernize the town by introducing an AI system that monitors everyone’s behavior. “Ari Aster’s most politically provocative film to date, Eddington pulls off something rare,” adds Patterson. “It makes our recent past worth revisiting. Not to rehash the trauma, but to remind us just how close we came to losing it, and how some towns still haven’t found their way back.”
