    5 / 10

    "The Absence of Eden" is a film that means well. Restrictions in the script hinder the film emotionally, which often show up in the actors' performances as well.

    5 / 10

    Fine performances and powerful visuals only partially compensate for the inevitable air of familiarity that accompanies Marco Perego’s debut feature. Although the filmmaker provides his real-life spouse Zoe Saldaña with one of her best roles in a long while
