Critic Reviews of "East Of Eden"
Chicago ReaderNovember 01, 2007John Steinbeck's painful biblical allegory -- Genesis replayed in Monterey, California, circa 1917 -- is more palatable on the screen, thanks to the down-to-earth performances of James Dean as Cal/Cain and Richard Davalos as Aron/Abel.
Time OutJanuary 26, 2006It's a film of great performances, atmospheric photography, and a sure sense of period and place.
Los Angeles TimesDecember 06, 2005Not only one of Kazan's richest films and Dean's first significant role, it is also arguably the actor's best performance.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003In short, there is energy and intensity but little clarity and emotion in this film. It is like a great, green iceberg: mammoth and imposing but very cold.
Classic Film and TelevisionNovember 28, 2015Rich historical detail and good visuals make interesting film.
Total FilmApril 14, 2014Catches fire in the clashes between Dean (as the bad brother) and Raymond Massey as his stiff-necked dad.
Film Freak CentralMay 11, 2011a reaction to our plutocracy's values and a further case for Dean as the sainted figure of rebellion that would fuel the generational schism of the '60s.
Turner Classic Movies OnlineJanuary 29, 2009East of Eden is set in 1917 but [James] Dean feels completely modern and contemporary, a boy not quite comfortable in his body.
Video-Reviewmaster.comMarch 20, 2008Fine James Dean vehicle, one of few that put him into immortality.
Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDecember 02, 2007Kazan had the bad sense to leave out the best parts from the lengthy book.
