Critic Reviews



"Muniz is less concerned with creating a beginning to end story and far more concerned with following the remarkably authentic experiences of the characters whose story he is telling...Benson's ability to bring this complexity to life wholly and compassionately provides Eva with tremendous depth."

- The Independent Critic

"Benson...is at her best in the many wordless segments where Muñiz’s cinematographic and, later, editing skills paint a compelling silent portrait of a woman whose life is a constant rewrite. "

- James Wegg Review

“The performances are universally great. The performances are done in what I have to assume is an improvised fashion, evoking the cinema-verite leanings of John Cassavetes work. The performances are relaxed, realistic and draw you in. The finale with the character of Eva facing her own intimacy issues is shocking, bold and engaging.”

- Josh Samford, Rogue Cinema

"Muniz wrote the story with Benson, and that collaboration is part of why the film works so well. It allows both actor and director to be completely in sync with one another on the way Eva is portrayed."

-Brian Skutle, Sonic Cinema

Director Bio

Edgar Muniz was born in Anaheim, CA. He received a Bachelor’s Degree in Spanish and a Master’s Degree in English from Cal State Fullerton University. His fascination with film began at a very young age. As an only child, he spent much of his youth on his own watching movies and obsessing over how they were made. When he’d spend summers at his cousin’s house in Hawaiian Gardens, they’d take his dad’s Hi-8 camcorder and make short films around the neighborhood and in their backyard. As he grew older, Muniz’s fascination with film became a deeper passion and love for the art of filmmaking. Influenced by the complexities, power and possibilities of cinema, he began to make more ambitious and personal films. Film became a medium through which he could explore what’s most important and interesting to him. He currently teaches English at Mt. San Antonio College and is working on his fifth feature-length film.
