A sparkling directorial debut.

Observer
Subplots are woven stealthily into the story, taking the pressure off the central drama, allowing it to be affecting rather than melodramatic, and heightening the atmosphere of the lush Louisiana setting.

Chicago Reader
The film is given an almost dream-like quality by Vincent who washes everything in a sepia-type tone that adds to the effect of seeing an adult world of deceit and hurt through the eyes of a child.

'Eve''s finest quality is the thrill of a confident filmmaker working with material that risks silliness, and pulling it off.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
More than anything, about the nature of memory and how it rarely matches the truth of life.

Rating: 3/4 --
An intensely emotional drama that mixes elements of Southern Gothic with the kinds of characters and tensions that prevail in the plays of Southern writers like Tennessee Williams.
Variety
A solid, if somewhat heavy-handed, Southern Gothic tale, steeped in mysticism.
