FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/eden-movie-review-ron-howard-explores-the-fragility-of-utopian-dreams/

"Eden is a compelling portrayal of the downfall of utopian dreams against the inevitability of human nature.

The performances are solid, the cinematography immersive, and the themes echo well beyond the big screen. But excessive dramatization, technical hiccups, and some less fortunate stylistic choices prevent the movie from reaching the greatness it so clearly aspired to.

The result is an interesting study, with powerful moments, but one that leaves the impression it could have been far more impactful had it trusted less in melodrama and more in the rawness of the facts."
