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.

Slant Magazine

This is a film where you never quite know if the next scene is going to bring you a knife fight, a literary debate, or a childbirth inside a cave surrounded by wild dogs.

Rated: 2/4

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.

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

Ron Howard delivers both a work that’s highly entertaining but also reveals the darkness of humanity.

Monita Roy Mohan

Women Write About Comics

Decent performances and an interesting conceit make Eden a film that piques one’s interest. But only watch it if you can stomach survivalist cinema. It’s not an easy watch, but not as gruesome as one would expect.

Robert Kojder

Flickering Myth

Ron Howard (fallen on hard times, especially given both the quality of his last film and what it led to…) seems unsure of what tone to take with Eden

Rated: 2.5/5
