This film is a riot. However, it's not supposed to be a comedy. It is one of them most poorly produced and writted films I have ever seen. No wonder I had never heard of it when I was up late... Full review

I had never heard of this film when my wife ordered it from NetFlix, and I keep wondering why. This is a terrific flick. Jurnee Smollett as Eve is truly excellent, and not just "good for a kid," or "good but... Full review

This movie has replay value if nothing else but for figuring out what really happened. Just when you think you know a line or a turn will change everything. The brilliant part is that it's a mystery only if you want... Full review

This is a great movie! The plot captures your attention. Eve's a girl who sees something she shouldn't have and that leads to a twisted summer for the whole family.... Full review

Overall, an interesting if not always successfully told story, but some awfully good performances help support where the film otherwise falls short. Kasi Lemmons, who made her directorial debut a few years ago with the excellent "Eve's Bayou", returns here with the story of Romulus Ledbetter (Samuel L. Jackson), a formerly brilliant pianist who graduated from Julliard, but who now is a homeless person with mental problems - he believes that a force is looking out on him from the Chrysler building. ...

Eve's Bayou" is an inspired achievement, with superb cinematography by Amy Vincent, absolutely crucial to the film's success. Lemmons' command of cinematic style, her appreciation of the chimerical aspects of life and her ability to inspire actors to give remarkably faceted portrayals mark "Eve's Bayou" a first film of exceptional promise. ...

So it's extraordinary to find a drama like "Eve's Bayou," which has enough of them for three or four movies. Featuring strong performances from its leads and some novel approaches to storytelling, "Eve's Bayou" proves to be an extremely promising debut for writer/director Kasi Lemmons, probably best-known as a supporting actress (in films like "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Fear of a Black Hat") or as the wife of actor/writer/director Vondie Curtis Hall. ...

Her "Eve's Bayou," a family drama set in rural Louisiana of the 1950s, is a lovingly made, beautifully acted piece that is as much about childhood views of the grown-up world as it is about the grown-ups themselves. KASI LEMMONS, writing and directing her first movie, is a talent to be watched. ... Full Review

And she makes up for any performance rough spots from the movie's younger actors with a lovely score from Spike Lee collaborator Terence Blanchard and a great soundtrack of classic jazz and blues. The action takes place in a moss-draped Louisiana backwater, and the family under observation (in their big, gracious bayou house) is as ripe with desires, disappointments, and the mysterious scent of sex as any in Mr. Williams' neighborhood. ...

Actress-turned director Kasi (pronounced as "Casey" is ) Lemmons's 1997 debut film, "Eve's Bayou" is an atmospheric Southern Gothic. The original Eve for whom an African American town in Louisiana was named was a slave who saved her massah's life. ... Full Article
