Eddington

Eddington (2025) is a genre-bending Western crime comedy directed and written by Ari Aster. Set in the dusty, sun-scorched town of Eddington, New Mexico, the story unfolds in May 2020, when a seemingly petty dispute between the local sheriff and the town’s eccentric mayor spirals into a full-blown community crisis. As tensions escalate, neighbors take sides, long-buried secrets resurface, and the town becomes a battleground of loyalty, vengeance, and absurdity.

Blending sharp dark humor with slow-burning suspense, Eddington (2025) explores the fragility of small-town dynamics under pressure. With Aster’s signature directorial style — a mix of unsettling atmosphere and unpredictable character arcs — the film delivers both shocking twists and ironic laughs. The runtime of 2 hours and 29 minutes allows the story to develop deeply layered characters and a compelling narrative that balances satire with social commentary.
