Eden

In het jaar 1929 ontvluchten de arts Friedrich Ritter en zijn geliefde Dora Strauch hun thuisland Duitsland. Door hun overtuiging dat het burgerlijke denken de ware aard van de mensheid aantast keren ze de maatschappij de rug toe. Te midden van het ruwe landschap op de Galapagoseilanden vinden ze een nieuwe thuis waar Friedrich zich op het schrijven van zijn manifest kan richten en waar Dora door middel van meditatie haar MS poogt te genezen. Een tijdje later wordt hun eenzame bestaan verstoord door Margaret en Heinz Wittmer en door de zelfverklaarde barones Eloise Bosquet de Wagner Wehrhorn die met haar twee minnaars op de site een luxueus hotel wil bouwen. Het gure weer, de wilde dieren en het gebrek aan comfort blijkt voor alle aanwezigen een zwaar gegeven, maar het is vooral het samenleven met elkaar dat iedereen op de proef stelt.
Where to Watch Eden
Eden Ratings & Reviews
- makdelart5 maart 2026Okay, the film is drawn with thick, bold lines, and the acting is a bit exaggerated at times, but it gives an interesting picture of a micro-society, human behaviour and characters: when the food runs out, there is no room for philosophy. There is tension, and it is enjoyable to watch.
- jeffhar2818 augustus 2025Actually a good movie based on true events. Great cast and excellent acting.
- Michael Surber24 februari 2026Crazy intensity. Hard to believe it's based on a true story but it's from Ron Howard so it's a very well done film. All of the leads are perfect. Both Sydney Sweeney and Ana de Armas really prove they are capable actresses here. Jude Law is stunning and over the top. Still not sure what I watched... like I said, crazy.
- N19 februari 2026A hot dang mess of a movie. Some actors are the same in every role...
- Hakihiko20 januari 2026Crafted with Care and Genuine Intent "Eden" is an ambitious survival drama that leans heavily on atmosphere, performance, and technical craft. Ron Howard's direction is confident and controlled, delivering a film that looks and sounds consistently impressive, even when the narrative doesn't fully capitalize on its potential. The locations and cinematography are a major strength, capturing both the beauty and hostility of isolation with striking imagery. The score is well placed and effective, supporting the tension without overwhelming it. Performances are solid across the board, with Jude Law anchoring the film convincingly and strong contributions from the ensemble, who bring credibility and emotional weight to their roles. Where "Eden" stumbles is in its pacing and narrative focus. Some stretches feel longer than necessary, slightly diluting the tension and impact of the story. The film is engaging, but it never quite reaches the intensity or emotional payoff its premise suggests. Overall, "Eden" is a well-crafted and engaging film that works more on a technical and atmospheric level than a narrative one. It's a solid watch, elevated by its execution, even if it falls short of being truly gripping from start to finish.
- Mars Swiodorn13 oktober 2025Gritty Drama, set in Galapagos beautiful scenery. Great plot based on true events, depicts the harsh reality of isolated off grid living in that time, and the human elements of all of the settlers, as they try to deal with one another. I enjoyed the directing choices of Howard. Strong acting performances from most, only felt De Armas character could have been a bit more subtle in her selfish conceitedness it could have drawn a lot from more layers and less bluntness. I thought Sydney Sweeney was excellent, and her role was cast perfectly. All in all, i liked this movie. i will rate this 7.7/10
- Tony G28 september 2025Better than expected
- B1gfoott26 september 2025Everyone brought their A game, especially Jude Law and Ana de Armas. The story moved a little slow, but that's to be expected for a film based on a true story.
- Polosaty21 september 2025Very good drama. Not very common these days.
- javierdlopez3 januari 2026Absolutely boring. 30 minutes worth of exposition, with no idea what drives any of these people. 45 minutes and I was done.x didn’t finish.
- Sharlene R.1 januari 2026It was ok, kind of had a dumb ending but it was a true story.
- delphi0918 september 2025Good story with very good actors
- raytango1927 augustus 2025Good Flick. Goes right up there with Mosquito Coast.
- hughgoodthings2 augustus 2025Yeah it’s good watch it
- shirazesat30 december 2025Oh wow. Tough to watch in parts, and doesn't end where films usually end - and then you find it's based on a true story/scandal. Acting is superb, and it's hard not to pick sides.
