John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter Apr 23, 2020
Ultimately, the doc doesn't offer a comprehensive look at the problems Rapa Nui faces today, and it certainly doesn't dig into the complaints Rapu has with some historians' account of how the island became a treeless plain. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Jul 7, 2020
3/5
Rapa Nui can serve as more than a misrepresented example of folly. Through work like this, it might help to illuminate a positive way forward for us all. Go to Full Review Louis Proyect Counterpunch.org Jun 30, 2020
Despite its tiny population (under 8000), this island has lessons that the rest of the world needs to take in. It is a laboratory in environmental sustainability that this film portrays vividly. Go to Full Review Edwin Arnaudin Asheville Movies Apr 26, 2020
3.5/5
The mindfulness instilled in receptive audience members could very well be the film's greatest achievement, and makes one wonder how Rapa Nui's citizens are doing right now. Go to Full Review Lisa Trifone Third Coast Review Apr 25, 2020
2.5/4
It's clear there is no shortage of important stories for Rapu to tell, and his worst offense may be trying to tell them all in a single film. Go to Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat Apr 25, 2020
8/10
Director Rapu beautifully designs Eating Up Easter as a story told to his newborn son about his family's origins in Rapa Nui. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
