About Eddington: Plot and cast overview

Eddington is set against the backdrop of a tense environment in a small American town that faces political and social divisions during the COVID-19 outbreak. In the film, Sheriff Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix) is a resolute lawman who defies the order to wear a mask by Mayor Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal).

This ideological struggle between civic protection and individual rights contextualizes a highly competitive mayoral campaign that rips the community apart. As the campaign intensifies, the story has moments filled with conspiracy theories, political ambition, and deeply personal trauma.

The film stars Emma Stone as Louise Cross, the wife of Joe, whose life is complicated by an affair with Vernon Jefferson Peak (Austin Butler), a creepy cult leader who attracts troublemakers and disillusioned locals into his fold. Adding to the film's tension and sense of mistrust is a supporting ensemble, including Luke Grimes, Deirdre O'Connell, and Michael Ward.

The film currently holds a 67% on Rotten Tomatoes and has earned acclaim due to its timely satire. Critics note that the final act progressively ramps up in violence and surreality, displaying mounting intensity of violence and uncanny imagery that may seem discordant with the more grounded early sections.
