Director Ron Howard's Eden unravels the shocking true story of a group of disillusioned outsiders who abandon modern society in search of a new beginning. Settling on a remote, uninhabited island, their utopian dream quickly unravels as they discover that the greatest threat isn't the brutal climate or deadly wildlife, but each other. What follows is a chilling descent into chaos where tensions spiral, desperation takes hold, and a twisted power struggle leads to betrayal, violence, and the deaths of half the colony.

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.

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

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+

Filipe Freitas

Always Good Movies

With a dark, overarching theme, this propulsive if shapeless tale feels as much flaccid as it is unfocused. Eden is such a mixed bag.

Rated: 2.5/5

Keith Garlington

Keith & the Movies

Howard takes us on a twisted journey that is both devilishly intriguing and strikingly audacious. And that journey is fueled by a terrific cast whose commitment can be seen every step of the way.

Rated: 4/5

Algo Más Que Cine

A gripping drama about a failed utopia in the Galápagos. 'Eden' blends tension, desire, and madness in a paradise turned hell. Howard dives into the darker corners of human nature with uneven results, but the experience remains haunting and memorable.

Rated: 6/10
