Leave your thoughts about Surviving Eden.
| Film Journal InternationalDoris ToumarkineIf not a gift to audiences, it is an unintentional trove of how-not-to tips for aspiring filmmakers. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonThere's nothing classic about Surviving Eden, even if it is better than reality TV. |
| TV GuideAngel CohnOnly Lynch's over-the-top network executive stands out in this otherwise bland film that tries for satire but neglects to be funny. |
| NewsdayGene SeymourThe movie insists that we care deeply about its sad sack protagonist as some sort of Chaplin-esque victim of vanity and greed. But neither Pritkin's conception nor Panes' performance warrants such sympathy. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenAlthough the early scenes hold out some promise...the movie quickly runs out of ideas. |
| New York PostLou LumenickAn impressive supporting cast can't save this painfully unfunny, ham-fisted mockumentary poking fun at reality TV shows. |
| User ReviewPhang HA fun, quirky indie excursion that hammers the absurdities, over-rated hystericals and obvious insanities of reality entertainment into a wonderous theater-of-the-absurd piece. Plainly fun, with very sharp edges. |
| User ReviewAlexander CThis is about what I think of Reality TV. |
| User ReviewJeff GThe movie wasn't horrible, just a little bland. Kind of like oatmeal. If you need to eat, oatmeal will do, and sometimes you kind of get excited about it, but at the end of the day, it's a just a boring glob of something that resembles the marriage of vomit and feces, and tastes like cardboard. |
