Eden
2024
5.5/10
I watched this last night on the road on Netflix.
It’s a low key suspense thriller that takes place post WW1 and prior to WW2.
Because of the events of WW1 and the current worldwide Depression in the 1930s, the characters in the film have decided to retreat from the problems of the world to a island out in the middle of the Atlantic.
That’s the basic premise of the film.
Daniel Brühl (Baron Zemo/MCU) co-stars and with his accent, you go through the whole film thinking is this a ‘Baron Zemo’ origin film.
Sydney Sweeney co-stars and is not dolled up. She plays a ‘Trad Wife’.
Ana de Armas co-stars and does a good job of ‘Bat-Shit’ crazy.
For the Thirsty, Sydney shows her left bare boob just before breast feeding.
Overall, it’s an interesting film. It mainly focuses on how people will back stab each other when they feel their individual survival is at risk.
There is a vintage film montage of the real people who were on the island showing how they actually lived just before the end credit roll.
Synopsis
A group of disillusioned outsiders, fleeing fascism in Europe, attempt to build a new life on a remote island, but their utopian vision descends into chaos as they turn on each other.
