Ari Aster Breaks Down the Ambiguous Ending of Eddington

In May 2020, set in the fictional town of Eddington, New Mexico, we find “Eddington” embroiled in its most contentious chapter yet. This tense time sees the scorching heat of the COVID-19 pandemic colliding with the pressing urgency of the Black Lives Matter movement. The narrative centers around Joe Cross (Phoenix), Eddington’s sheriff, who resides with his wife, Louise (Emma Stone), and mother-in-law Dawn (Deirdre O’Connell), known for her frequent espousal of conspiracy theories. With asthma, Joe vehemently opposes mask mandates that Mayor Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal) wishes to enforce. Enraged by what he perceives as an infringement on his and his neighbors’ liberty, Joe impulsively decides to contest Ted in the forthcoming election. From this point, events spiral completely out of control.
