Shirtless Jude Law Carving Fruit Next to Vanessa Kirby in Eden
Eden gives us an unhinged Ana de Armas, and for that I am forever grateful. The actress is delectably vicious and simultaneously alluring. It’s easy to hate her, and boy does Eden make us hate her. Directed by Ron Howard from a screenplay by Noah Pink, the film is based on a true story of European survivalists who live secluded on an uninhabited Galápagos island called Floreana.
Eden Is Dark, Chaotic Fun Eden would feel like a flight of fancy if the events weren’t based in reality. It begins ominously but quickly devolves into a somewhat campy exploration of human behavior — often petty, dangerous, and competitive. For all that Friedrich opines about saving humanity, the irony here is that he hates people and becomes the very thing he accuses others of. Friedrich is the epitome of pretentiousness, and Eden plays out like an adult version of Lord of the Flies.
The film — intentionally or not — is funny as hell. A dinner party features Eloise singing opera while the others look on in annoyance and discomfort; Margaret tells Eloise they had a lovely time at dinner despite it being a disaster. These are characters who we love to hate, and they grow disturbingly more awful as the film goes on. It’s exciting to watch, even in the film’s slower moments. Howard allows them to get as bonkers and untamed as possible.
