Eden's Curve

Good

I've watched this film twice -- about 10 years separating each of the two viewings -- and with each exposure I've found something else to like. While I'm not entirely sure what year the story was supposed to be set in, it felt like the early 1970s, the decade during which I came of age. And the location isn't entirely clear, though the accents were Southern, and those remind me of home. Combine all that and perhaps it is nostalgia that drives my fondness for the film, its complicated characters, and its not-entirely happy ending. The acting is first-rate and consistent. The audio quality if consistent and does not require me to raise the volume to hear the conversations, then quickly lower it when the music tracks and special effects begin. There is a sweetness to this film and to the performance of the central character played by actor Samuel A. Levine. His naïveté was absolutely charming and his youthful beauty was intoxicating.

A lot of sex going on. Mostly Gay & Bi-Sexual. Three ways....etcThis is what you would call a good 'B' Movie. Pretty good filming and acting.Some casting errors....etc...but it's not a big budget film.The era is exactly the same as when I went to college. After Vietnam ('68-'69) College 1970 to 1974War protests.....Sexual Freedom......Plenty of 'Pot'....The VW Bus & Bug were 90% of the parking lot. LOLCat Stevens was the most popular music. Yup! I'm old.....71.But just think, I was young and good looking once...So.....Enjoy your youth while you have it.

I really enjoyed this film. Very atmospheric and created the era of the early 70’s with all its taboos and prejudices. The music helps underscore the drama of that era. Once again we see man’s inhumanity to man.Fine acting throughout but a special commendation for Sam Levine and Julio Perillián who portray Peter and his professor Ian to perfection.My only complaint would be the ending. Why must so many LBGTQ films have such tragic endings? In this film the demise of Ian did not fit his character as developed in the rest of the film. In real life it would have ended differently. The couple might have moved to San Francisco.In any case, it is well worth watching.

This is a fairly good story but a bit abstract (some scenes seem to come out of nowhere and there are moments of disconnect) and with a sad ending, but inconclusive. A huge amount of the filming is blurry in the middle of scenes as if we the viewers are on some kind of hallucinogenic. It actually got me feeling like I had vertigo. I give it 3 stars because it is very well acted; I mean the people are very believable and you can tell it is very well directed.

Well, I will try to review this as best I can so that even though others use certain words, I apparently can't. This is about 3 students who are experimenting in college. One gets very jealous and drives another away and into the woods to another relationship. This movie turns sad and should not have, this should have been a very uplifting movie but it is set in 1972 when things were terribly and wrongfully interpreted and handled.

Selfishness is easy to confuse with the illusion of Love. Especially when you never understood the facets of the deeper meaning of Love. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, It is not easily angered, It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. A true partner in life should feel these words so shall you!

The promising story line is literally ruined by the sub-par acting, awful music and horrible editing and cinematography. The main character, who is suppose to be 17, appears to be a childish 30 something. His parents also appear to be old enough to be his grandparents. The flow is choppy, incomplete at times. I was also a bit confused if the film takes place in the 70's or was shot in the 70's, maybe both (although the title says 2009). You take a chance on independent films, some are done quite well and others like this one.
