Eden

"For once in a Ron Howard film, there are few nice guys — but his dance with the devil suggests that, although there is something energising about this change of pace, he can’t quite connect with the evil that permeates his film. " 

"The more his characters engage in very bad things, the more it becomes clear that perhaps Howard was indeed a very bad fit, the film drowning in the deep end. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)" 

"If Howard and Sweeney can make movies together like this all the time, may neither of them ever stop." 

"But despite all the intriguing possibilities of the concept and a game, international cast (...) never finds its happy place. The prevailing overwrought tone lands more cartoonish than satirical, while a protracted running time accentuates the film’s deficiencies" 

"[Ron Howard]’s finally allowed himself to lose his mind, and it might be the best decision he’s made in years." 

"The core story of 'Eden' is fascinating, but the film can't rise above two lackluster performances from its leading ladies." 

"A movie that makes you want to get off that island and go back to a place where the people are sane."
