Set between the two World Wars, Eden unravels the shocking true story of a group of disillusioned Europeans who abandon civilization, convinced that society is corrupting humanity's true nature. Seeking paradise, they settle on a remote, uninhabited island in the Galapagos--only to discover that the greatest threat isn't the brutal climate or deadly wildlife, but each other. As tensions spiral and desperation takes hold, a twisted power struggle unfolds, leading to betrayal, violence, and the chilling, still-unsolved deaths of half the colony.

Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter Howard and screenwriter Pink shipwreck the Queensland-shot vehicle in a mishmash of styles. Neither quite satire nor thriller nor murder mystery, the film cries out for a sharper attack. Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Kate Erbland IndieWire No film about the utter demise of a supposed utopia -- a real one, to boot! -- and the utter infallibility of human beings should be this fun, but we’re lucky this one is. Rated: B Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Maureen Lee Lenker Entertainment Weekly Here, the end result is more of an erratic blend of survival drama, historical oddity, and petty domestic intrigue that boils down into a morass of standout moments dragged down by the film's weaknesses as a whole. Rated: C+ Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Wilson Kwong Film Inquiry Conceived with likely ambitious intentions, the film just fails to captivate in a manner befitting of bringing together such a talented cast of performers. Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Beatrine Shahzad Discussing Film Ron Howard's latest thriller has memorable performances from its star-studded cast but sadly lacks any thematic focus. So, it's neither a disaster nor a success, only another forgettable film. Rated: 3/5 Nov 30, 2024 Full Review Ethan Dayton That Shelf If anything, Eden will hopefully encourage those of us who’ve never heard of the Galapagos Affair to look into this deeply layered history, which is far more interesting than the movie presents their story to be.
