Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Quinn, alternately charming and loathsome, is brilliant, as is Hinds, an actor who has elevated everything he's been in.
Fresh: Hinds has been ready for a role of this size and shape for years; it was simply a matter of finding it, and its finding him.
Fresh: The town and surrounding landscapes make a gorgeous setting -- the Irish tourist board will be happy -- but at its heart The Eclipse is a small, contained ghost story about a haunted man learning to exorcise himself.
Rotten: Ultimately, though, it feels fleeting and slight passing across our line of vision, never a full but merely a partial engagement.
Customer Reviews
ECLIPSE - Amazing!
This is one of my favorite short films. I saw this at the Tribeca Film Festival and at Abu Dhabi Film Festival. It's an amazing spiritual experience with stunning photography about the homeless in Mumbaii, India. It totally takes you there and beyond. If you care about the world you will probably love this film. If you're shallow, well... it's still an amazing look at people beyond your sphere.
Visually stunning
An amazing look into india, this film is truly a moving photograph. Every frame is simply mesmerizing.
Uck
Those who like this type of documentary will like it. But for the average consumer, irritatianally boring.
