The Garden of Eden Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Jesse Cataldo
In this Riviera vacation atmosphere, all sun, sand, and skin, the dialectic of opposites the film attempts to enforce instead melts down to little more than kinky foreplay.
Critic's Notebook
Robert Levin
A soft-core, Jazz Age skin flick masquerading as high art.
Movie Dearest
Fr. Chris Carpenter
A veteran director, the attractive lead performers and some stunning settings cannot bring credibility to this inherently stilted story.
Tolucan Times
Tony Medley
With Hemingway pictured as a wuss and laughable acting, could this be intended as camp?
Film Journal International
David Noh
Papa, they've done you wrong again, in this dreadful, miscast Hemingway adaptation.
Kansas City Star
Robert W. Butler
A borderline terrible movie that plays like a parody of a Hemingway story.
Filmcritic.com
Blake French
a sexy psychological thriller much better suited for a younger crowd than the literature buffs who may be drawn to it.
Dallas Morning News
Cary Darling
It just seems like a bunch of actors playing dress-up.
KPBS.org
Beth Accomando
The acting rings false and the clothes, rooms, and locations never feel lived in. You always feel aware that you are on a movie set watching actors perform.
Hollywood & Fine
Marshall Fine
Nothing will protect the audience from this dreadful film except to stay far away from the few theaters unwise enough to show it.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Everybody flirts with everyone else as director John Irvin pours on a level of shopping-mall-gift-shop-kitsch that would shame Wayne Newton.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
Better than it might have been yet still a definite letdown, a literary B-side turned into something not awful, just forgettable.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Ms. Suvari's Catherine is so extravagantly monstrous that Mr. Huston's David, who provides a desultory narration, comes across as an inert nonentity.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
'Hemingway's Garden' of Eden will restore no luster to the celebrity writer-adventurer.
AV Club
Noel Murray
The dialogue and plot in Garden Of Eden are rendered clearly and precisely, without a lot of fine shading. The result is a movie that's all surface... all silly, silly surface.
Metromix.com
Geoff Berkshire
Flirts with camp, but stifling boredom ultimately trumps any unintentional hilarity.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Vet British helmer John Irvin's mannered, bloodless and appallingly thesped filmization of Hemingway's posthumous novel, though unlikely to set the author rolling in his grave, may still have viewers rolling in the aisles.
Movieline
Michelle Orange
This is not just lesser Hemingway; it's the worst of him.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
The resulting sangria cocktail is mild, unchallenging, and kinda dull.

The quality is not on par with feature-filmmaking.
