    Tim Gordon and Charles Kirkland, Jr. unpack the chaos behind one of the year’s most polarizing films. Is it a sharp political statement… or just a misfire wrapped in ambition?

    Find out why Eddington may be as fractured as the world it’s trying to portray — only on Keeping It Reel with FilmGordon.
