Eddington15

Directed by Ari Aster | USA | 2025 | 2h 29m | Starring Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, Pedro Pascal, Austin Butler, Micheal Ward

During the COVID-19 pandemic, a tense standoff between a small-town sheriff and the mayor ignites deep divisions in Eddington, New Mexico, turning neighbour against neighbour. Online conspiracy theories, racial tensions, cult influences, and cryptocurrency collide in this disorienting modern Western from Ari Aster (Hereditary, Midsommar), starring Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal.

Reviews

‘This is Aster’s funniest film to date, and makes use of an ever expanding and shifting cast to dot the 150-minute runtime with well-observed comic details and visual payoffs.’
★★★★
Sophie Monks Kaufman, The Independent

‘Aster’s deranged vision makes most directors seem timid in comparison.’
★★★★
Nicholas Barber, BBC

We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
