Preview: Eden (2008)

• Poster: C

Review:

Color rich, but emotionally lacking, this design takes a risk by not giving a more evocative idea what the film is about and instead relying on facial expressions to tell a story of desperation, but ultimately rewarding little.

• Trailer: B

Review:

This looks to be one of those little indie surprises that creep up at the end of the year. Whether it's as good as the laurels placed in the trailer suggest or not, will of course remain to be seen, but from this trailer, it does look like Eileen Walsh gives a terrific performance.

Oscar Prospects:

Maybe if the big names that already crowd this race start dropping like flies, Walsh would be considered for Best Actress, though I doubt it will happen without a serious push by critics.

Release Date:

• November 7, 2008
