Erasing Eden

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!

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.

I read earlier user reviews, but I'm not sure the message is what people think. The LA Times review was more accurate. I stuck through the grueling gauntlet of self-inflicted catastrophes that Eden goes through. This movie is more about self determination and gut wrenching perseverance than about tragedy. In fact, the end says it all (no spoilers). I'm recommending it. Watch the big blockbusters if you like, but this says more about the human experience than most movies, but it's a ride down a gloomy street at first...

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.

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.
