Tensions rise in a small town in New Mexico during the summer of 2020 in this contemporary western from Ari Aster.
“Eddington” sets us not-so-gently adrift on a sea of very recent memories and the nausea they re-prompt, and waves merrily from the shore as we turn green. That’s not to say it’s a drag. Not in the least. Your mileage will vary according to your stomach for this stuff, but I found myself breathless with giggles at times, sometimes the therapeutic laugh of recognition and sometimes because Aster has a keen eye for what’s most absurd about human nature.
This reboot directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson features teens on the run from a masked killer and an appearance from Jennifer Love Hewitt, one of the stars of the original film.
