John DeFore Hollywood Reporter Ultimately, the doc doesn't offer a comprehensive look at the problems Rapa Nui faces today, and it certainly doesn't dig into the complaints Rapu has with some historians' account of how the island became a treeless plain. Apr 23, 2020 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Rapa Nui can serve as more than a misrepresented example of folly. Through work like this, it might help to illuminate a positive way forward for us all. Rated: 3/5 Jul 7, 2020 Full Review Louis Proyect Counterpunch.org Despite its tiny population (under 8000), this island has lessons that the rest of the world needs to take in. It is a laboratory in environmental sustainability that this film portrays vividly. Jun 30, 2020 Full Review Edwin Arnaudin Asheville Movies The mindfulness instilled in receptive audience members could very well be the film's greatest achievement, and makes one wonder how Rapa Nui's citizens are doing right now. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 26, 2020 Full Review Lisa Trifone Third Coast Review It's clear there is no shortage of important stories for Rapu to tell, and his worst offense may be trying to tell them all in a single film. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 25, 2020 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat Director Rapu beautifully designs Eating Up Easter as a story told to his newborn son about his family's origins in Rapa Nui. Rated: 8/10 Apr 25, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
