“Hindsight is 2020.”
In May 2020, a small-town sheriff and the mayor of Eddington, New Mexico, slide into a standoff that turns the town against itself. As neighbors take sides, ordinary disputes harden into a dangerous civic clash. The film follows that pressure building through a community already strained by fear and suspicion.
Eddington was made in the United States and Finland, and it runs 148 minutes. It is a 2025 film in English, with an R certification. The story centers on the sheriff and the mayor as their conflict draws in the people around them and pushes the town toward open rupture.
Set in New Mexico during the early months of the pandemic, the film uses a western frame to explore public unrest and local power. Its tone mixes dark comedy with horror and satire, letting civic tension and personal grievance feed each other. The result is a grimly comic portrait of a place where every argument can become a crisis.
