Although its low-key realism is admirable, Eden doesn't really work.
To say it is bleak is an understatement. But it will make a lot of people reassess their marriages and decide that, in comparison, they're not so bad after all.
Walsh and Kelly are the embodiment of domestic despair, fumbling to find their way back into the light.
As drama, it's a chore.
An Irish indie that is well-observed and well-acted -- but ultimately, not much more exciting than the love lives of its lead characters.
Adapting a play by Eugene O'Brien, director Declan Recks has made a remarkably interior movie anchored by two heartbreakingly real, lived-in performances.
The sweet sadness of it rises through the banter like a mist. It's something to take home with you.
Declan Reck has made a character-driven drama that plays with stereotpyical elements of marriage movies like infidelity and ennui but makes them feel completely genuine.
Eden is a sad, nicely observed study of a decade-old marriage that, for the most part, is over.
This portrait of an imploding marriage is remarkable for every reason that counts in a good film.
The kind of small movie that's all too easy to overlook, but even easier to like once you've seen it.
