Eden is finally on streaming!
The movie, originally released in August, arrived on Netflix on December 23.
Here’s a synopsis: “The shocking true story of a group of outsiders (Jude Law, Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby, Daniel Brühl, Sydney Sweeney) who settle on a remote island only to discover their greatest threat isn’t the brutal climate or deadly wildlife, but each other.”
But what do critics think?

Eden currently has a 57% Rotten score on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 73% audience score.
The Wall Street Journal says: “It’s nothing more than what it appears to be on the surface — an elongated and extra-campy episode of Survivor, with the important caveat that since there’s no reason to care who wins, there’s no reason to watch.”
AP gives it 2.5 out of 4, writing: “In the midst of the film’s crafted chaos, the story inevitably loses focus. Still, Eden made room for some memorable performances.”
Empire gives it 2 out of 5, writing: “This is an odd attempt at satire that takes a fascinating slice of real-life stranger-than-fiction history and somehow makes it less interesting.”
IndieWire gives it a B, writing: “No film about the utter demise of a supposed utopia — a real one, to boot! — and the utter infallibility of human beings should be this fun, but we’re lucky this one is.”
Vulture says: “The pressures of the untamed setting, combined with the inability of these characters to ever trust each other, results in an over-the-top melodrama that gets loopier as it goes on. But it pulls us along, too.”
