The show is attractive, powerful, and confident in its own expressive intensity. [Full Review in Spanish]

More than "La La Land," which talked about a love for jazz, "The Eddy" at its best feels like jazz, harking back to Chazelle's first film, the swooning "Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench."

It is often a dirge. Its format seems intended to not just thwart but strangle enthusiasm.

The Eddy is as much about the changing tempo of life as about music. Every beat counts.

It feels "right," a mix of musicians playing the not-so-well known stuff they love and struggling to create their own art.

But the story line imposed onto the setting is awfully stale, as familiar as the ambience is not.

Holland's internalized ability to communicate makes his climactic confrontations all the more powerful, but it also perfectly suits "The Eddy's" less-is-more approach to storytelling.

The Eddy can be a wonderful show at certain points, and stifling and withholding the next. The exhilarating points definitely outweigh the more frustrating pieces, and there are strong moments from the entire cast.
May 07, 2020
Authenticity is key to this slow-burning but mesmerizing celebration of a naturalistic world where life is a messy improvisation.
May 08, 2020
The more "The Eddy" wants to advance the central plot, the less effective it becomes; whenever it soaks in the world, or homes in on small details, it comes alive.
May 07, 2020
Directors Poul, Damien Chazelle, Houda Benyamina, and Laïla Marrakchi coax extraordinary realism from the cast, amateurs and the professionals alike.

The sessions are brilliant. But they don't serve the slow, slight plot and for anyone whose interests lie more in the drama than the music, these extended interludes may well tip the balance into outright tedium.
