First things first - Edmond is one twisted freak of a movie. A bizzare treatise on racism in the form of a character study film. However, it's also powered by an absolutely brilliant nomination-worthy performance by William H Macy.
We're never really given a reason for Edmond losing his sh*t but the fun all starts when he gets off work one night and walks into a metaphysical store and gets a Tarot reading. He goes home and shocks his wife by announcing he's leaving her, walks out and his odyssey thru downtown LA begins.
I'll leave the rest to your viewing pleasure as Edmond stops at a lot of places, slowly becoming unhinged and purchasing a knife in a pawn store. There's some great support, of particular note is gorgeous Julia Stiles who plays a waitress Edmond shags.
And I haven't even mentioned the third act which is even worse for Edmond. A movie for people with thicker skins and a must-watch for aspiring actors. Streams free on Tubi and Pluto. 3.0 stars/5
