Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: C- --
A veteran director, the attractive lead performers and some stunning settings cannot bring credibility to this inherently stilted story.

Movie Dearest
Rating: D- --
Sex has never felt more repellent after watching Eden, a clumsy effort of eroticism and psychological gamesmanship that's utterly devoid of structure and feeling. It's an awful picture.

Rating: 1.5/4 --
In this Riviera vacation atmosphere, all sun, sand, and skin, the dialectic of opposites the film attempts to enforce instead melts down to little more than kinky foreplay.

A soft-core, Jazz Age skin flick masquerading as high art.

Rating: 0/4 --
Everybody flirts with everyone else as director John Irvin pours on a level of shopping-mall-gift-shop-kitsch that would shame Wayne Newton.

It just seems like a bunch of actors playing dress-up.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
Ms. Suvari's Catherine is so extravagantly monstrous that Mr. Huston's David, who provides a desultory narration, comes across as an inert nonentity.

Product Description:
Penned between 1946 and 1961, Ernest Hemingway's novel THE GARDEN OF EDEN remained incomplete at the time of its author's suicide, but finally appeared in 1986, as the second posthumously published Hemingway novel following the 1970 ISLANDS IN THE STREAM. As directed by John Irvin (TURTLE DIARY) and scripted by James Scott Linville, this screen adaptation faithfully adheres to the original story. The tale takes place in the 1920s, on the Côte d'Azur of the French Riviera, where David Bourne (Jack Huston), a youngish American writer, and his gorgeous wife, Catherine (Mena Suvari), spend a tranquil honeymoon. Tranquil, that is, until Catherine grows restless and dissatisfied, and brings into their midst Marita (Caterina Murino), an Italian girl to whom they both feel magnetically attracted. In seemingly no time at all, her sensual presence threatens to tear the marriage asunder.
