"Original, provocative film set in 1965 about a young mother with MS, married to a prep school professor, who has an out-of-body experience that leads her away from her mundane life toward an exploration of her cosmic self. No mumbo jumbo here, but instead a gripping drama in which the main character forces the people closest to her to examine their own lives."
-- Leonard Maltin's 2001 Movie & Video Guide
"For everyone who has yearned for the dim recollection of heart-felt filmmaking, for films of passion, sensitivity and bona fide emotional resonance, Eden is a must see."
-- Robert Ellsworth, Detour Magazine
"A vivid and extraordinarily rich narrative underscored by the clash of the times ... 'Eden' is a lushly photographed dramatic delicacy not typical of Hollywood fare."
-- Seattle Weekly
"Dramatic delicacy and strong acting distinguish 'Eden.' Joanna Going anchors the pic with an extraordinarily rich and sympathetic performance."
-- Godfrey Chesire, Variety
"An ambitious, well-acted, poignant family drama."
-- William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
