Critical Acclaim for THE ECLIPSE - Now Showing
4 STARS “A really moving experience, one that stayed with me long after I’d left the cinema. Simply stunning performances” Margaret Pomeranz, AT THE MOVIES
4 STARS “See this superb film cold, and prepare to be wowed. Utterly unclassifiable - as only the best, most memorable films can be… the writing, direction and performances are of the highest calibre… highly recommended. Anyone up for a wildcard viewing experience that refuses to play by the expected rules is advised to make tracks in this direction immediately” Leigh Paatsch, HIT (News Ltd national: HERALD SUN/DAILY TELEGRAPH/COURIER MAIL/ADVERTISER)
4 STARS “Strangely compelling… Ciaran Hinds anchors every distinctive scene” WHO
“Directed with considerable assurance… perfectly judged” Tom Ryan, SUNDAY AGE/SUN HERALD
“The performances are wonderful… a very intriguing film on all sorts of levels” David Stratton, AT THE MOVIES
“Beguiling. A surprising film with multiple centres of intrigue… a laudable open-endedness and an absence of moralising. An oddity that works” Jason Di Rosso, ABC RADIO NATIONAL
“An engagingly modest film… ensures you care very much. Hinds possesses an unassuming versatility” Sandra Hall, SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
“Haunting… strong lead performances and genuinely scary moments” FILMINK
“May do something that many films have done beforehand, but it certainly does it in a way I’ve never seen done before… certainly one that will be discussed by those who see it” AIN’T IT COOL NEWS
“Effectively written and portrayed… Ciaran Hinds is excellent” URBAN CINEFILE
“A subtle, beguiling mix of romance, literary satire and horror” THREE THOUSAND
“A truly beautiful and touching film” CUT PRINT REVIEW
“A haunting romance. Finds plenty of heartfelt gravity in its tale of love lost and found on a gothic coast… agreeably melancholy, spooky and romantic” LOS ANGELES TIMES
3.5/4 “The acclaimed Irish playwright Conor McPherson has crafted a film every bit as affecting and haunting as his plays… a humble gem of a movie” ASSOCIATED PRESS
“A lovely tale of grief, love and moving on… a gem… lives and breathes through Hinds’ marvelously understated but full-bodied performance” HUFFINGTON POST
3.5/4 “Special. Scary and touching… a triumph for Ciaran Hinds, one of the best. Really worth seeing” CHICAGO TRIBUNE
“McPherson’s eerie story has the amazing duel effect of being both sweetly moving and really creepy. Deeply absorbing… terrific performances” Critic’s Pick WASHINGTON POST
“Ciaran Hinds is outstanding. So subtly handled” SAN FRANSICO CHRONICLE
“A special, magical, nearly perfect movie that should not be missed” THIS WEEK IN NEW YORK
“The Eclipse is a keeper.” ROLLING STONE
“Shines with sterling cast… lovely” THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
“Conor McPherson delivers a beautiful, even believable ghost drama that enraptures on many levels” THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
“A film of such seductive grace and humour – Quinn and Hinds are brilliant” VARIETY
“Uniquely great. Both emotionally and psychologically surprising” RISKY BUSINESS (HOLLYWOOD REPORTER BLOG)
“Auspicious… Wonderfully acted supernatural-tinged romantic dramedy” NEW YORK POST
“Possibly the hottest property at Tribeca, it may have also been the best” NEWSDAY
“An awards-calibre performance” NEW YORK MAGAZINE
“…by turns spooky, romantic, funny and sad… McPherson masterfully calibrates some pretty wild tonal shifts in this beautifully realized film, which resembles a New Yorker short story in its quiet, closely observed sense of detail. Like a little getaway in its own right, taking viewers to new worlds both natural and supernatural.” WASHINGTON POST
“Charming. The wonderful Ciaran Hinds has rarely been better.” BOX OFFICE
“The simultaneous revelation of a place and a man, with their shared history, and it plays by virtue of Hinds, his face a hewn and weathered monument to regret” LA WEEKLY
“A smart, scary, spine-tinglingly matter-of-fact ghost story… Hinds’ sorrowful and moving performance as a man haunted in more ways than one” ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
“A quietly haunting experience… most satisfying” FILMCRITIC.COM
“A fascinating romantic triangle… lovely, wise, occasionally creepy and surprisingly moving” SALON
“Returns the romance genre to the world of real adults” PASTE
“It’s the kind of movie you might need a push to see but will be happy you did. Consider yourself pushed” NEW YORK TIMES (John Anderson Blog)
“A rarity. Works wondrously well” IF MAGAZINE
“Consensus: An intriguingly unusual ghost story, Conor McPherson’s Eclipse blends supernatural suspence with romance to create a satisfying, character-driven whole” ROTTEN TOMATOES (review aggregator)
