Has anyone else seen "Eddington"?

We saw it last night. I realize there's a lot to unpack, but what did you think?

That third act was off the charts. I did not foresee the sheriff doing what he did. I do recall laughing quite a bit throughout. I certainly would recommend it. It's a hell of a ride

Also, a lot of surprises. Joaquin Phoenix earned an Oscar, IMO.

For those planning to see it in a theater--it's long, so plan accordingly.

For that matter, Pedro Pascal and Austin Butler were good as well.

I mean, he told a good joke occasionally, but he was hardly a barrel of laughts.

“Asked in 1919 whether it was true that only three people in the world understood the theory of general relativity, [Eddington] allegedly replied: 'Who's the third?”
