Cinema Cindy Reviews: Eddington At SALA

“Eddington”, released July 19, is playing through today at our local movie theater. Eddington is a contemporary Western from Ari Aster dropped into the mess that was the pandemic lock-down of May and June 2020.

 The movie starts off as slow local drama, and morphs into dark comedy. We stop chuckling as it becomes a serious crime story, then an over-the-top thriller with guns and explosions. The best reason for New Mexico folks to see it, besides its big-name actors, is to recognize Truth or Consequences as the real star of the show.
