Eden - Avaliações

If Eden were a book and not a film, it would be one of those massive historical tomes that your dad puts atop his Christmas list.

The fact that all of this really happened makes this bizarre tale that much more intriguing.

...remains gripping, even improbably fun, as it captures the shifts in power and health among its principle players as they squabble over a beautiful yet not particularly hospitable environment.

...despite an all-star cast ... and a scandal and intrigue-tinted survival story, Eden has sat in post-premiere limbo after first screening at last year’s Toronto Film Festival.

Ron Howard’s latest is a tense biographical Lord Of The Flies.

...shows us that Floreana is not a postcard-pretty island paradise. Still, a harsh and unyielding setting, and Hans Zimmer’s score evokes increasing uneasiness as the story builds to a climax of violence and chaos.

As excellent and absorbing as Eden's storytelling is, it can also be a little on the nose.
