Erasing Eden

This was an indie gem. The direction, acting and look of it was phenomenal. It kept me engaged throughout and had plenty meaning behind it. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 stars was because with all the people she ran into she could have easily got a pen and wrote down who she was and who could have helped her from her family or fiancé. Maybe I missed something. But oelverall really Good. I highly reccomend this movie.

Really strong lead performance anchors this exceptional drama. The lead actress appears in about every frame and holds it well. People throw around the term 'brave performance' a lot, but it is very apt here. Her journey was truly harrowing.

The final image is powerful.

Big recommend.

I say "realistic" because I feel like the consequences of what happens to Eden early in the film, including all the things she must deal with as a result, are shown in a very realistic way. I also feel like the character herself is very real. This movie is honest with us, and there is truth about the human experience laid bare here that I have not seen on the screen before. I read some negative user reviews that expressed frustration with the character and the choices she makes. My advice for watching this film is to turn your judgment sensitivity control down to zero and your empathy control up to maximum, and allow yourself to be drawn into this character's journey, which is rivetingly depicted.

There are many "Lost Weekend" style stories, but this is truly one of the most emotionally gut-wrenching we've ever seen. It's really agonising to watch the central character self-destruct and you're yearning for her to climb out of her rut and find happiness and fulfilment. Highly recommended.

This is a compelling film. While yes it is dark, I hardly think that merits a negative review. It shows a women struggling after a traumatic event. I recommend watching it. Breeda Wool offers a strong performance as the lead character Eden. It's refreshing to a see a film that allows a woman to go through and look like sh*t the entire movie. Kudos!
