Review For Movie Eden
Cruelty, bloodletting and death are evident throughout (frequently occurring just outside the frame), and Griffith's laudable discretion actually intensifies their impact.Jeff Shannon-Seattle Times
Griffiths lays bare a many-tentacled trafficking system sickening in its reach.
Robert Abele-Los Angeles Times
A quite moving performance comes from Jamie Chung as Eden, repulsion sliding into fearful acceptance without the extinction of hope.
Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic
Nearly every second is taken up with the horrors inflicted upon the heroine by the sorriest bunch of good ol' boy sadists since "Deliverance."
Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
A few moments harp on the sentimental, but overall, this is a powerful addition to the small collection of films dedicated to spreading awareness of this horrific crime.
Stephanie Carrie-Village Voice
[An] excruciating vision of under-age women conscripted into sexual slavery by a criminal enterprise from which there is seemingly no escape.
Stephen Holden-New York Times
Jamie Chung gives a reserved, watchful performance, but the true surprise is perpetual nice guy Beau Bridges in a nasty turn as the head trafficker.
Jamie S. Rich-Oregonian
Eden surprises by managing to paint a vivid and disturbing picture of the trafficking experience within the context of a conventional thriller.
Eddie Harrison-The List
It's chilling, convincing, matter-of-fact realism.
Philip French-Observer [UK]
Griffiths handles the exploitation with care, hinting at what goes on rather than rubbing our faces in it.
Amber Wilkinson-Eye for Film
It's based on the experiences of a real life Korean woman, Chong Kim, but you can just tell that many of the facts have been massaged.
Charlotte O'Sullivan-This is London
Harrowing true events are dramatised with surprising restraint in the low-key Eden.
Allan Hunter-Daily Express
I would have liked to know more about the criminal setup, though leaving it unexplained gives it a greater tang of evil: a very strong performance from Chung.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
Engaging, sharply focussed and pointedly non-exploitative sex trafficking drama with a strong script, assured direction and a terrific central performance from Jamie Chung.
Matthew Turner-ViewLondon
Props to Griffiths for proving that it only takes a very slight shift in tone and focus to give a gory old bike a set of shiny new wheels.
David Jenkins-Little White Lies
For half an hour, with brutish hunks abusing teens in torn clothes, we think: "Sexploitation!" Then stately, plump Beau Bridges appears, a corrupt federal marshal resembling a gone-to-girth Timothy Spall, and the story starts.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times
Director-cowriter Megan Griffiths refuses to sensationalise the tabloid aspects of this harrowing true story about human trafficking within the USA.
Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com
A frustratingly mild interpretation of a horrific true-life incident.
Neil Alcock-Empire Magazine
Director Megan Griffiths wastes a great villain and settles for easy answers in a watchable but by-numbers thriller.
Josh Winning-Total Film
Tackles the issue of sex slavery, but does so in a way that never feels too clumsy or overarching. Instead, it's a character study with thriller elements; it exposes you to a horrible underworld without ever beating you over the head with it.
Drew Taylor-The Playlist
The intimate scenes between marginalized individuals feeling out complicated relationships. . .gives unusually poignant insight into those caught up in sex trafficking.
Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com
Tackling the most lurid of subjects, this schlocky shocker proves that sometimes female directors can be as exploitative as men.
David Noh-Film Journal International
