Eden is a 2024 American survival thriller film directed by Ron Howard and written by Noah Pink from a story by Pink and Howard.[2] It stars Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby, Sydney Sweeney, Jude Law, Daniel Brühl, Felix Kammerer, Toby Wallace and Richard Roxburgh. The movie is based on the true story of a few European settlers coming to Floreana Island.[3]

The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 7, 2024.

Premise
Dr. Friedrich Ritter and his wife Dora Strauch flee their native Germany in 1929, repudiating the bourgeois values they believe are corroding mankind’s true nature. On the isle of Floreana, Friedrich can focus on writing his manifesto, while Dora resolves to cure her multiple sclerosis through meditation. Their hard-won solitude, however, is short lived.

They are joined by Margret and Heinz Wittmer, who prove to be earnest, capable settlers. Next comes Eloise Bosquet de Wagner Wehrhorn, a self-described Baroness and the "embodiment of perfection," who arrives with two devoted lovers, an Ecuadorian servant, a wardrobe full of evening gowns, and plans to erect a luxury hotel. Between inclement weather, unruly wildlife, and a total lack of amenities, all three groups find life on Floreana arduous. But nothing will test their mettle more than the challenge of coexisting with desperate neighbours capable of theft, deception, and worse.

Production
It was announced in October 2022 that Ron Howard would direct the film, and he had begun the casting process and location scouting. The film was to be titled Origin of Species at that time.[4] In May 2023, Ana de Armas, Jude Law, Alicia Vikander and Daniel Brühl were cast,[5] with Daisy Edgar-Jones in negotiations.[6] Casting was permitted to continue during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike after securing an interim agreement with the guild.[7] In November, the film was retitled to Eden, with Vanessa Kirby and Sydney Sweeney added to the cast to replace Vikander and Edgar-Jones respectively, and Hans Zimmer was set to compose the score.[8] Edgar-Jones was forced to exit as a result of the SAG-AFTRA strike, as she needed to keep her commitment to Twisters, which had to halt production as a result of the strike.[9] In December 2023, it was announced that Richard Roxburgh, Felix Kammerer, Toby Wallace, Paul Gleeson, and Ignacio Gasparini had joined the cast.[10]

Filming was expected to begin in November 2023, with production taking place in Queensland, Australia, and a small unit filming on the Galápagos Islands.[8] Filming began on November 27, 2023 on the Australian Gold Coast.[11]

Release
The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 7, 2024.[1][12] In May 2024, AGC Studios sold distribution rights to the film for multiple international territories to Amazon Prime Video at the Marché du Film.[13]

Reception
The film holds a 63% "Fresh" score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, based on 27 critic reviews with an average rating of 6.5/10.[14] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, gave the film a score of 60 out of 100, based on 13 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[15]

Vanity Fair has our first look at Ron Howard’s “Eden,” which is set to world premiere at TIFF this weekend. Screen had originally tipped “Eden” to premiere at Venice. That clearly hasn’t happened. I’d slightly tamper my expectations for this one as it was also snubbed by Telluride.

The “Eden” cast is pure eye candy, including Sydney Sweeney, Vanessa Kirby, Ana De Armas, Jude Law, and Daniel Brühl. Billed as a “survival thriller,” and based on two different accounts of the same true story.

The film is being described as “a darkly comic tale of murder and survival, set around a group of eclectic characters who abandon civilization for the Galapagos. They are all searching for the answer to that ever-pressing question that plagues us all: what is the meaning of life?”

Oscar winner Howard is coming off the Amazon Thai cave rescue thriller “Thirteen Lives”. That one garnered strong reviews, but was released in August — it could have been primo Oscar-bait had Amazon just waited to release it in the fall.

Howard’s had quite the career as a filmmaker. Whod’a thunk it? Opie from “Happy Days” is an Oscar winner. Howard’s most acclaimed films are “Rush,” “Frost/Nixon,” “Apollo 13,” “Cinderella Man” and “A Beautiful Mind.”

Then again, he’s had just as many, if not more, duds in his 40-year career. The Howard-directed films that have been panned by critics are aplenty: “Hillbilly Elegy,” “Solo,” “Inferno,” “The Dilemma,” “Angels & Demons,” “The DaVinci Code,” “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” “Far and Away,” “In the Heart of the Sea” …

When it comes to Howard, you just never know what you’re going to get.
It would be completely understandable that Ron Howard, having directed more than two dozen genre-tripping films spanning six decades, would want to shake things up a bit by jumping into something outside his proven comfort zone. And it would be equally logical that the vehicle to take him there would be a certifiably bizarre but true account of a 1920s German philosopher who sets up an experimental society with his lover/disciple on a remote island in the Galápagos, only to have it all implode when opportunists come and crash the party.

But despite all the intriguing possibilities of the concept and a game, international cast including Jude Law, Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby, Daniel Brühl and Sydney Sweeney, Eden, handed its world premiere at Toronto, never finds its happy place. The prevailing overwrought tone lands more cartoonish than satirical, while a protracted running time accentuates the film’s deficiencies.

The movie certainly starts promisingly enough, efficiently setting up the life and times of Dr. Friedrich Ritter (Law). In 1929, he flees German society and its bourgeois values to create a new home on the remote island of Floreana, living off of limited natural resources with his survivalist partner, Dore Strauch (Kirby).

But the couple’s solitary existence is interrupted by the arrival of Heinz Wittmer (Brühl), a World War I vet with a younger new wife, Margaret (Sweeney), and a son, Harry (Jonathan Tittel). They have been following Ritter’s dispatches and hope the land’s virgin air might cure Harry’s tuberculosis, just as it appears to have kept Strauch’s multiple sclerosis under control. Feeling less than hospitable, Ritter and Strauch glare at the newbies with their safari shorts and butterfly nets, figuring they won’t make it until the first rains.

But while the family prove surprisingly resilient, building a home for themselves and their soon-to-be newborn, their co-existence is freshly threatened by the entrance of the Baroness Eloise Bosquet de Wagner Wehrhorn (de Armas), accompanied by a pocket harem of young men, who intends to build the world’s most exclusive resort on the rocky terrain.

It soon becomes clear that the Baroness, with her long strand of pearls and a hard-to-place accent that sounds much like Anna Delvey’s, is a scheming instigator. She proceeds to pit the inhabitants against each other, leading to an inevitable descent into madness.

Despite an inspired setup that might suggest Werner Herzog’s Gilligan’s Island, Howard and screenwriter Noah Pink (Tetris) shipwreck the Queensland-shot vehicle in a mishmash of styles. Neither quite satire nor thriller nor murder mystery, the film cries out for a sharper attack. It’s the kind of tale that would have been a natural fit for the likes of Mike White, whose acutely devious White Lotus sensibility would have been right at home here. But although Howard delivers some effective set pieces, notably a harrowing sequence in which Margaret must deliver her own baby, little about Eden feels consistent.

As a result, the performances are likewise hit and miss. De Armas does the best she can with her femme fatale role, even though she ultimately lacks the satirical chops of a more seasoned character actress to really hit it home. Meanwhile, Law (so commanding in another TIFF offering, The Order) grows so tiresome as the smug, pontificating Dr. Ritter that by the time he eventually loses his mind, you can’t blame it for wanting to get away.

Only Sweeney manages to retain the viewer’s sympathy and her character’s sanity as the decent pillar of stability that is Margaret — who, as the end credits and archival footage reveal, would remain on the island until her death in 2000, and where her descendants host tourists at Wittmer Lodge to this day.

Now that premise sounds more like something in Howard’s wheelhouse.

Perri Nemiroff talks with Ron Howard, Sydney Sweeney, Ana de Armas, and Daniel Brühl about Eden at TIFF 2024.
Eden is an escapist psychological drama set in the Galápagos Islands based on a true story about a group of people in search of a new life.
Howard and the cast discuss filming in Australia, facing fears, their first rehearsals together, and tease upcoming projects like the John Wick spin-off, Ballerina, and Euphoria Season 3.
Oscar-winning filmmaker Ron Howard first approached the idea of adapting the story of Eden a decade ago, but sharing its world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival in a post-pandemic world just makes sense as one of the director's darkest films to date. It's a psychological drama based on an unbelievable true story that allows audiences to escape into a Howard film full of "twists and turns" that features a stellar cast.

Eden, adapted to screen by Noah Pink, is a harrowing psychological spiral that settles its audience in the Galápagos Islands with Jude Law, Vanessa Kirby, Ana de Armas, Sydney Sweeney, and Daniel Brühl, who Howard says are "so different, kind of extreme, kind of wild, unpredictable," and all in search of new life in the 1920s. Unfortunately, when all these people convene on the island of Floreana, they discover "it's not Mother Nature that they needed to fear, it was human nature."

After their screening, Howard, de Armas, Sweeney, and Brühl stopped by the Collider interview studio at the Cinema Center at MARBL to sit down with Perri Nemiroff and discuss this twist-filled adventure and how it challenged its cast and director in new ways. In addition to darker material, Howard talks about new techniques he uses in the movie to build suspense, and the stars share how these roles offered opportunities to learn new skills and face fears while filming in Australia. De Armas and Sweeney also tease exciting updates for the John Wick spin-off, Ballerina, and Euphoria Season 3.

Ron Howard's 'Eden' Is a Survival Thriller in a Psychological Tailspin
"It just would not leave my mind."
Ron Howard filming EdenImage via TIFF
PERRI NEMIROFF: Ron, I know what your movie is, but because we're celebrating it at a film festival, our viewers might not know about Eden just yet, so can you give a brief synopsis?

RON HOWARD: I obviously don't want to give too much away because there are a lot of twists and turns. It starts off, really, as a survival thriller, and then it turns into something more psychologically dangerous. It turns out that these disparate groups decided to go to the Galápagos separately to try to reinvent their lives, to go off the grid, and face that challenge. Well, it turned out that it's not Mother Nature that they needed to fear, it was human nature. That's really where the story comes from.

I bumped into it in a museum on a visit to the Galápagos. The events took place there, and it just would not leave my mind. This is, like, 15 years ago. I've been thinking about these characters who are so different, kind of extreme, kind of wild, unpredictable, and yet what they put themselves through and what they went through was, I thought, so fascinating, entertaining, and memorable. And eventually, we got a tremendous cast to make it happen.

One thing I read a lot about going into this was how this movie would pose a lot of filmmaking firsts for you. Even with all of your experience in this industry, can you tell me something you did for the very first time as a director on Eden?

HOWARD: I staged more oners. Now, these are not like [Alejandro González] Iñárritu minutes upon minutes upon minutes, but for me, and it had to do with the suspense, it was building a shot that would just look kind of mundane, and then at a certain point there'd be a jolt. There'd be a shock. Not necessarily a horror shock, but a twist in the story that you would not have seen coming. And I don't think that from a staging standpoint, I'd ever built suspense into a scene quite in that way because it's not just where the story is going, it's not just the surprise. Everything that we did in this was about a performance moment, so the psychology of what was going on was always front and center. In a way, being the magician which a director needs to be, that's kind of the diversion. You're watching the characters go through this kind of stress test and then, wow, you didn't see what was coming next because you were so engrossed in them as human beings.

Sydney Sweeney and Ana de Armas lead an all-star cast that takes a while to find its footing.

Daniel, I believe Ron first brought this up to you 10 years ago. When it was first pitched to you, what part of the script intrigued you most, and then what intrigued you most about it when you jumped into it 10 years later?

DANIEL BRÜHL: I was attracted on many levels. First of all, because working with Ron on Rush was such an incredible pleasure, and the fact that he wanted to work with me again was a no-brainer for me. But then when you hear that from directors, it happens very often in my life that then you don't hear back from them. They say, “It's so great with you. We're gonna do something else again.” I say, “Yeah, okay.” But then he really called me 10 years later.

HOWARD: There's a little gap. [Laughs]

BRÜHL: But funny, back then, that was in 2013, it rang a bell, and I thought, “Hold on.” Another director that I had worked with also wanted to do this film, and it was a German director that I shot Good Bye, Lenin! back, back, back in the days. He gave me books, and I saw on the first page of these books these books made it to the Galápagos Islands in 1993, some rotten copies of a take on that tale, and another one, it might have been the one that Margaret Wittmer had written, and so I was mesmerized and fascinated by this story right away, especially being German. I thought, “What? This really happened?” And then I remember that I checked out the documentary on YouTube. That was before Ron, and then Ron mentioned it, that particular project, and I said, “Jesus, I would love to do it.” And so, it happened.

HOWARD: By the way, Hans Zimmer, who composed the music for this movie, told me as we were working on the score that early in his life, he'd gotten to know Nicolas Roeg. He worked with Nicolas Roeg, and Nicolas Roeg was very interested in this story. He never got to the point of having a screenplay. Look, it's classic. It's such a fascinating set of characters, and they are so outrageous that it really is stranger than fiction, and we needed actors who were willing to go to that place — and I'm kind of looking at you, Ana de Armas. [Laughs]

The reaction to your performance last night is one of my favorite in-theater communal experiences!

The 'Eden' Cast Measured Each Other During the Rehearsals
"We needed each other like the characters needed each other."

Eden feels like a movie that does not work without a pitch-perfect cast. Ron, I think you found it here. For the three of you, can you each tell me the first moment you stopped and said to yourself, whether it was in prep or on set, “I am with the right people. We are going to be able to make the most of this material together?”

ANA DE ARMAS: We did have the privilege to have about a full two weeks of rehearsals, and the setup was really amazing. Even though it was three different families or groups, we all rehearsed together, and everyone was present when the other group was rehearsing. I think it helped everyone in getting the tone, in getting the energy of the other group, and understanding each other, the accent, the weirdness, the kind of measuring each other, the level of eccentricity and craziness, and all of that. It was, for me, doing the table reads, which we did a few of them, and spending so much time together every day rehearsing with the animals. All of it we did together, and it was good to see each other finding what we wanted to do.

SYDNEY SWEENEY: I agree with the rehearsal process. We really saw everybody show up, and then we were able to feel each other out on the accent and the performances. But I think especially when we filmed the lunch scene when all of us were together. There were just so many unwritten nuances that came out amongst all the different characters that I think that's when I really was like, “Oh my gosh, this is gonna be crazy. This is so incredible working with such amazing group of talent.” I really just felt it come to life in that scene.

It’s an electric scene in the movie. How about for you, Daniel?

BRÜHL: We needed each other like the characters needed each other. We got along better than the characters in the movie, thank god. [Laughs]

I’m glad to hear that!

BRÜHL: Nobody felt at home; we were in a shooting in a remote place. It was hot and sticky and feverish, and it was exhausting, so we needed each other's company. I remember we also had a great time when Ana was cooking for us or you and your lovely partner. So, there was that mutual interest, and it's another quality to the film that it's such an eclectic mix because there's Cuba, there's America, there's Germany, Austria, England. You have all these different cultures, and there was a mutual curiosity in each other, which made it very interesting, on a personal level, to work on this project. So, yes, on the very last day I realized this was a good gang.

SWEENEY: On the last day? [Laughs]

DE ARMAS: Well, actually, you're kind of right. The last day was the last scene. It was a really intense scene to say goodbye to the shoot.

HOWARD: Every day was intense. We were working on a tight schedule. It was very dense in terms of what the characters had to do because, without giving too much away, the tone shifts, and it's all very organic. But by going to the places that these actual people had gone psychologically and emotionally, when you watch it, sometimes it's outrageous. It's funny. Sometimes it's horrifying. Sometimes it's a little heartbreaking. I hope it creates suspense. They were having to mine that and find that tone in the scenes every day, and sometimes one scene would lead one way and that's what we'd be shooting in the morning, and in the afternoon, it would be something else altogether. So, I love working with actors on complicated scenes, but even I felt like it was kind of a tightrope walk all the time.

Plus, we had no cover sets. We were shooting outside. We had no studio. We would get occasionally stormed out because we hit a stretch of really bad weather, and the only way to make it up was to work really hard and really fast. These guys, and the rest of the ensemble, really lived up to that filmmaking challenge, as well.

The Cast of 'Eden' Had to Be Fearless on Set
"I faced a lot of fears just even being there."

You go all in in every single respect. I wrote down this quote from Ron mentioning that he wanted risk-takers for these roles, so can each of you tell me a risk you took while making this film that will pave the way to even bigger things for you in the future because you did that here?

DE ARMAS: Well, being the embodiment of perfection was very risky. [Laughs]

HOWARD: That's her character's mantra to keep herself going.

DE ARMAS: Just the whole thing for me was terrifying. I remember being on the phone with Ron, finally like, “Okay, you're gonna do this?” “Yes, I’m gonna do this,” and hanging up very excited. And 20 minutes later, I call him back having doubts, feeling scared. I just didn't know if I had made the right decision, or that I was the right person for it. And I was like, “Think about it again. Maybe you want someone else.” [Laughs] But then, for me, that's what it's all about. That's what I find interesting and fulfilling and exciting. If it's not that, I don't want it. It's what makes me enjoy every day at work. That’s what makes it not feel like work.

HOWARD: I do have to add, with Ana, it's easy to forget this because she's so fluent in English now, but it's not her first language. She's doing an accent that is basically invented because her character is somebody who, like some very theatrical, bigger-than-life people, kind of invent their persona. That's what her character has done. And so from a creative standpoint, it's all art, every step of the way, and she met the challenge.

DE ARMAS: Definitely, that was one of the biggest challenges. Eloise creating The Baroness had to be so eccentric and crazy. It was an invention, but it had to be out there but also still believable for the other people to even consider this woman was saying something truthful. But she gets so entangled in her own story that she actually gets to believe it sometimes, and it's heartbreaking. She's very fragile and childish sometimes. You can see she's lonely, and she's very vain and loves love and beauty and all that. And then it's terrifying. This woman is scary sometimes. It was about finding the two extremes and that balance of being believable in her lie.

Seeing those little qualities you just named pop through is what grounds her and it's what, for me at least as a viewer, based all of her actions, as extreme as they are, in some sort of consistent truth that I believed in.

Ana de Armas smiling and talking about Eden at TIFF 2024Image courtesy of Photagonist at TIFF 2024
How about for the two of you? An example of a time when you were more fearless on this set than you ever have been before as an actor?

SWEENEY: I mean, Daniel was building the set. [Laughs]

DE ARMAS: I was very impressed by that.

SWEENEY: All the work that you saw us do, we were actually doing.

DE ARMAS: Milking the cows ...

BRÜHL: I did take the risk to confront my snake phobia because there were some scary moments. In the middle of a take, a very friendly gentleman would show up out of nowhere and tell you to stop, with some long scissors, and to step away. I mean, I have to say, in Australia, there are all these poisonous creatures and we were dealing with snakes every now and then.

HOWARD: We had snake wranglers. Daniel just called them scissors — no snakes were harmed, but a lot were caught.

For what it's worth, I pictured the right thing! Sydney, how about for you to take us home on this one?

SWEENEY: I felt like I just had imposter syndrome the whole time I was there working with Daniel and Jude [Law] and Ana and Vanessa [Kirby] and Ron. Every day I was like, “Oh my gosh, I cannot believe I'm here. Am I supposed to be here? Did they make a mistake? Am I the wrong person?” So for me, I was nervous. I faced a lot of fears just even being there because everyone is such an amazing actor. I was like, “What am I doing?”

Nerves come from a place of being passionate and caring, and that's what I always hold tight to.

Also, just because I won't be able to bring this up because we don't have enough time, you have two of the most epic birth scenes I've ever seen in my entire life on screen in a single calendar year. You crushed those scenes. I'm very impressed.

SWEENEY: Thank you!

Before I let you go, I have to ask about some upcoming projects. Sydney, our viewers are rabid for Euphoria, and there's one particular performance challenge that I'm curious about because there's obviously a longer wait for you as an actor between making Seasons 2 and 3, and you've accomplished so much in that period of time. Are there any particular skills you've gained in that period that you're especially excited to apply to Cassie?

SWEENEY: Whenever I'm on set on different sets, I think the most that I learned is from the crew and how different departments need different things, and just being able to use that and making sure that everybody has what they need and their tools that they need to be able to move forward. So I think with Euphoria, especially just making sure that everybody can give their 100%. I'm really excited. I can't wait. I don't really have anything to say, but I'm really excited.

Always thinking with the producer mentality. I like that. I want more of that from you, as well!

Ana de Armas Says 'Ballerina' Is "Dangerous and Sexy"
"It's very John Wick."
Ana de Armas laughing while discussing Eden at TIFF 2024Image courtesy of Photagonist at TIFF 2024
Ana, you'll get my next one because our viewers and readers are also massive John Wick fans, and you have Ballerina coming up. Someone was just telling me that you did additional photography, and that involved Chad Stahelski, which is so cool. You get the person who directed the first film in that franchise in there with you. By working with him, is there any new layer of that movie that you were able to unlock?

DE ARMAS: Oh my gosh, I love Chad. And I have to say, every time they say you have reshoots, it's not good. You don't feel good about it.

It’s an important part of the process.

DE ARMAS: But I really have to say he was so right about it. All we did in those reshoots had to be there. We got amazing footage. It's really spectacular. A trailer is coming out soon, I’ve been told. I saw it, and it's beautiful. I'm very proud of it. It's really exciting. It's dangerous, it's sexy, it's very John Wick. I think people are going to be surprised. I'm biased. Of course, I like the movie, but I think it's really cool. It's going to be amazing.

Rock solid tease. That makes me very hyped.

Also, one of my greatest missions in this line of work is to demystify reshoots and additional photography.

DE ARMAS: I have to say, I was finishing Eden and we started the reshoots like two weeks later, so that was a big switch mentally and physically to get back to that.

HOWARD: Weren’t you beginning to do fight training and physical stuff even while you were on our picture?

DE ARMAS: Mhm. It was really full-on right away. It was a hard switch, but it was great.

Ana de Armas may have ventured into the afterlife to prepare to portray Marilyn Monroe in “Blonde,” but the actress is now revealing that “Eden” is in fact her “scariest” role yet.

De Armas told Vanity Fair that starring in Ron Howard‘s ensemble survival film pushed her to get to her “craziest” self onscreen. The feature co-stars Sydney Sweeney, Jude Law, and Vanessa Kirby. “Eden” will debut at TIFF where it is looking for distribution.

“I got a little scared, and I told [Ron] I was nervous because it was really out there,” de Armas said of joining the film. “He was very supportive and excited. There was no question I wanted to do it. I wanted the challenge.”

De Armas teased that her Baroness character is pulled in a few different directions, which added to the “crazy” nature of the role.

“Having this crazy threesome relationship, and being a woman of opposites — either she’s sweet and tender and fragile and nervous and scared, or she’s absolutely crazy and dangerous, it was kind of finding that limit,” de Armas said. “What was the craziest I could get? How far could I go?”

A particular sequence led de Armas to admit that the scene was “the scariest thing I’ve ever done. It was kind of like a chess game. We spent three days shooting that.”

And the jungle-set production proved to be a “rough” shoot due to their truncated schedule.

“It was a long shoot. We had a lot to do. There was no time for breaks,” de Armas said. “There was nothing luxurious about the shoot or the set or the environment.”

Yet de Armas’ determination was evident to director Howard.

“I’m so impressed with her creative courage. She’s a risk-taker as an artist,” Howard said of Oscar-nominated de Armas. “And I knew that it was going to take that kind of individual.”

Howard added that “Eden” was filmed “on a really tight budget” and that all of the sets were built on location. “Our only cover was to shoot real fucking fast when we had the good weather,” he said.

Have you heard a true story so crazy that you think there is no rational way it could have happened? Ron Howard has shown an affinity for translating these kinds of real-life stories to the silver screen with Apollo 13, In the Heart of the Sea, and Thirteen Lives. But Eden is different — it’s an unruly, feral animal set free upon a Lord of the Flies-like situation where supplies dwindle and motivations change out of strategic convenience.

Howard's new film is set on a deserted island in the Galápagos (where Darwin did his pioneering research; Eden was thus originally titled The Origin of the Species). Complementing the beautiful scenery are beautiful stars — Jude Law, Vanessa Kirby, Daniel Brühl, Sydney Sweeney, and Ana de Armas. It’s all pretty to watch and intellectually entertaining at first. But as soon as the stakes are set and lines are drawn, Eden escapes Howard and writer Noah Pink’s hands like a runaway train with no destination, ultimately ending in disappointment.

Pros
Ron Howard's direction is crisp and captures the island while coherently keeping track of the ensemble.
Jude Law and Vanessa Kirby are mischievously nasty, but Ana de Armas is the excellent standout here.
Cons
The ending is a disappointment after two hours of interesting ideas.
The movie doesn't seem to know what it's about and oscillates from different subplots to repetitive doomsday themes.

As for the actual story part, Eden notes to the audience early on that the story is based on a strange incident that took place on Floreana Island and is the sum of many conflicting accounts of survivors. In 1929, the world was reeling from economic and political collapse. Dr. Friedrich Ritter (Jude Law) and his wife, Dore Strauch (Vanessa Kirby), head to the uninhabited Floreana in the Galápagos archipelago with a typewriter in hand to create a radical philosophy that would help society crawl out of the shadows of World War I. From his utopic island, Ritter would send back some of his thoughts for three years, and the German papers would rave about his creations.

These survival movies draw from real-life events, showcasing the indomitable human spirit in the face of adversity.

The thing about having a supposed utopia is that it must be isolated from external and opposing influences which could create conflict. That's what happens in 1932, when World War I veteran Heinz Wittmer (Brühl), his wife Margret (Sweeney), and their teenage son Harry (Jonathan Tittel) arrive at the island. Life is rough on the mainland, and they have come to Floreana for a new start. However, it’s not as if everything will be easy for them. For starters, they're competing for food sources with wild boars and dogs, and there isn’t exactly a surplus of drinkable water either.

The more significant factor is Friedrich and Dore – who aren’t ready and willing to give their neighbors a helping hand. They are sadistically turned on by the fact that the Wittmer family will struggle significantly – sending them to a cave and rock formation to set up camp instead of sharing their farm.

Ana de Armas Is the Secret, Unruly Ingredient as the Baroness

The innocence with which Brühl and Sweeney play their roles, in contrast to the condescending, mischievous energy of Law and Kirby, sets a good template for what's to come. If four people weren’t enough, Baroness Eloise Bosquet de Wagner Wehrhorn (de Armas) arrives with completely different motivations. The Baroness has no time to save humanity. She has plans to turn Floreana into a luxurious resort and nothing will get in her way. Where the Baroness comes from, people throw themselves at her feet because of her beauty and wealth. What could go wrong with her record player, books, and lovers (played by Felix Kammerer and Toby Wallace) by her side?

The Cuban-Spanish sensation has become one of the most successful actresses today.

De Armas is excellent and benefits the most from this in terms of ever-changing character motivations. As the Baroness, she’s playful, somewhat delusional, and uses everything to her advantage to manipulate those around her. With Ritter, you can immediately tell that something is off. His voiceovers romanticize suffering as the way out, at least in the first part of Eden, which is an ominous red flag. Once all the players are set, Howard and Pink set up a lot of side stories in an effort to prevent hitting the same doomsday-like beats over and over again.

The Ending of Eden Lets Down Whatever It Built

It works for a while, with Eden shaking the snow globe of its world and causing new chaos with things the narrative can exploit. Jealousy breaks out between the Baroness’ lovers. Ritter and Strauch’s foundation slowly erodes. Wittmer suffers from increasing PTSD. Someone discovers they are pregnant. And so on.

With how complex the rough edges are within these characters, it's surprising just how simple the finale to all this is, which fails everything Eden had developed. The film discards much of the philosophical weight it had put on like airs, finding shock and action-style vices as an immediate end. It seems to either waste all its previous intellect, or suggest that intellect is meaningless. On its own, the film sustains your attention (and maybe even entertains) with its many twists and turns and pretty people. Yet it feels thematically hollow. Eden had the tools to become something unique, if only its more multi-faceted aspirations carried any heft.

Eden made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival; you can find more information here.

Movie and TV Reviews
Ron Howard
Toronto International Film Festival
Toronto
Jude Law doesn’t want to take all the credit.

He delivers one of the many go-for-broke performances in Ron Howard‘s star-studded “Eden,” a stranger-than-fiction survival thriller about European settlers who seek new life on a previously uninhabited island in the Galápagos. As the official logline explains, “They believe they’ve found paradise — only to discover that hell is other people.” And yes, it’s actually based on true events.

Though his character of Friedrich Ritter, a doctor living in total isolation with his wife (Vanessa Kirby) before all these other people show up, goes completely nude in one scene of the film, Law insisted he wasn’t the only actor on set to take a creative leap of faith.

“We all had to be audacious,” Law said at the Toronto Film Festival premiere of “Eden” during a post-screening Q&A after moderator Cameron Bailey suggested that playing Ritter “probably required a little more audacity” than the others.

Popular on Variety
“You mean walking around naked?” Law responded with a laugh. “For me, the challenge was trying to find movement in his rigidity. He didn’t want to be moved or bent. That was the challenge for me — and the nudity.”

Law believes the camaraderie with his co-stars of Ana de Armas, Kirby, Sydney Sweeney and Daniel Brühl made it easier to act uninhibited on screen. After all, he’s far from the only cast member forced to do something outrageous. Sweeney’s character, German housewife Margret Wittmer who relocates to the unwelcoming enclave with her husband, has a wild birth scene in which she has to fend off feral animals as her water breaks. De Armas, portraying the self-proclaimed heiress known as the Baroness, has a threesome in the ocean with her devoted employees.

“There was something enticing about being in an ensemble,” Law said. “In the beginning, we’re all asking ‘How far are we going to go?’ It’s a lovely and fluid game of trust and chance.”

De Armas plays a chaotic force — one of many struggling for power and control of the island — who hopes to build a luxurious resort despite the area’s hostile conditions. She admitted she was scared to take on such a diabolical part but ended up falling in love with the role. “I was on the phone with Ron and was like, ‘This might be the end of my career. But it looks fun. So, I’m going to go for it.'”

During a climactic scene with her character, audience members at the Roy Thomson Hall started to cheer. De Armas took notice. “By the way,” she joked to the crowd, “I heard you celebrating… it felt personal.”

Howard chimed in: “I’ll just say, Ana is a great character actress because she’s nothing like the Baroness.”

A medical emergency briefly halted Saturday night’s premiere after a festival-goer was carried out on a stretcher. As Howard took the stage for the post-screening Q&A, the director immediately asked about that person’s wellbeing. Toronto Film Festival’s Bailey confirmed the audience member “will be OK,” prompting the rest of the room to applaud.

Howard, the Oscar-winning director of “A Beautiful Mind,” “Parenthood,” “The Da Vinci Code” and “Frost/Nixon” called this film “beyond anything I’ve ever done” in terms of tone and style. Still, he feels that “Eden” jibes with the rest of his filmography.

“I’m fascinated by stories based on real events,” Howard said. “As dark and bizarre as the story is, we prove that survival of the fittest is connected to love and family. It’s a family story! ‘Parenthood’ to ‘Eden’… don’t you see it?!”

Plus, he teased, “It could have been even crazier. There were twists and turns we didn’t go down.”

Eden, Ron Howard, Toronto Film Festival
Ron Howard’s latest cinematic adventure, Eden, is making waves ahead of its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. With a star-studded cast including Daniel Brühl, Ana de Armas, Jude Law, Sydney Sweeney, Alicia Vikander, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Vanessa Kirby, the film plunges viewers into a near-century-old mystery set on the remote Galápagos island of Floreana in the 1930s, and Vanity Fair has released the first images from the picture. Based on true events, Eden explores what happens when a small group of settlers, drawn by isolation and ambition, must survive in an unforgiving environment. As Howard puts it, the film “is like a season of Survivor where people really don’t make it.”

The story centers on Dr. Friedrich Ritter (played by Law), a German philosopher who, along with his wife Dora (Kirby), tries to carve out a utopian existence on the island. However, the couple’s paradise is disrupted by the arrival of other settlers, including Sweeney’s Margret Wittmer, whose unforgettable scene giving birth in a cave surrounded by wild dogs brings feral energy to the film. “She got it,” Howard said of Sweeney’s performance. “It was raw, and she was all in.”

Then enters de Armas’s Baroness, an eccentric heiress with designs on transforming the island into a hotel empire. “I got a little scared,” de Armas admitted about her role, adding, “It was really out there, but Ron was very supportive and excited.” Her character’s chaotic arrival sets the stage for a power struggle with Law’s Dr. Ritter, whose Nietzschean ideals are put to the test as they fight for control of Floreana.

Ron Howard is Trying Something New

Howard, known for his polished studio films, approached Eden independently, adding a more raw, experimental energy to the project. Filmed in the wilds of Queensland, Australia, the shoot was no easy task. “There was nothing luxurious about the set or the environment,” de Armas shared, echoing the cast’s challenges as they navigated the rugged terrain, poisonous snakes, and the sweltering heat. The unpredictable survival thriller is not just about physical endurance but the psychological unraveling of its characters.

“When you meet them, they’re offbeat, eccentric—you don’t know what they’re going to do next,” Howard explained. “As the pressure intensifies, they actually become dangerous.”

With such a talented cast and a thrilling real-life mystery at its core, Eden promises to be an unforgettable ride. The film’s blend of survival, power struggles, and bizarre human behavior is sure to leave audiences questioning just how far people will go to survive in paradise. Collider will bring you more news of Eden when we have it.
