Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The camerawork is so fluid and the settings so brimming with detail that one feels washed away by the film, recognizing the hero's decline only when he does-that is, too late.
Eden is indeed as low-key as anything Hansen-Love has done, though it conveys a sense of risk that feels new for her -- both in the scope of the story and in specific choices she makes.
An intimate epic to sink into; it uses the unchanging age of its actors, whose characters stubbornly resist changing for two decades, as a melancholy commentary on the maturation process.
Delicate, lifelike filmmaking ...
