David Ehrlich indieWire For all of its bucolic pleasures, Evelyn is like looking through the eye of a merciless storm, with Orlando's focus pointed outwards toward the untold millions of people who are struggling to endure this same predicament. Rated: A- Aug 29, 2019 Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian [A] raw, unfiltered view of the fragility of family dynamics is exposed movingly, and sometimes comically, throughout. Rated: 4/5 Oct 26, 2018 Full Review Sr. Rose Pacatte St. Anthony Messenger I was deeply moved by the simplicity of this gentle film and the courage it took to make it. It drew out my compassion for those who consider suicide as their only option, as well as the loved ones left behind. May 13, 2021 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Grieving family hikes to remember deceased loved one. Rated: 3/5 Sep 26, 2019 Full Review Manzanares de la Rosa The Young Folks [Orlando von Einsiedel] has made a career out of exploring the raw, unfiltered brutality of war... But it is this new film, Evelyn, in which he finally addresses the most important, most difficult and definitive event in his life. Rated: 8/10 Sep 13, 2019 Full Review Joel Keller Decider A tough film to watch at times, but if it helps you think about someone in your life who either isn't here anymore because of suicide or might harm his or herself, it becomes a completely worthwhile watch.

Alexander F I loved the rawness of it all, including the rough edges. Beautiful. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/20/23 Full Review Velcro As Orlando and his siblings take the foreboding leap from rocks into the freezing Ocean of Northwest Scotland, it aptly captures the feat of the journey they have undertaken. Not a film to put on if you have invited friends over, unless you are comfortable with publicly displaying your own process of grief, whist journeying with a family finding their own way through the mazes of mourning. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/23 Full Review bella h It's a great movie but it can be hard to watch in parts because it's so sad. It deal seem to help the siblings deal with their grief though and the places they went for their walks were so picturesque. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member My daughter died at 17 in 2009. Twelve years later we are struggling and this movie has confirmed we are not alone. Thankyou. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This stupid ass website wouldn't show it. I can't honestly review it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Deeply emotional, raw and beautifully done Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
