The Film Verdict
«Wetscher manages to funnel the social realism of the story and its context through a truly cinematic lens (...) and that
makes Eklipse a very compelling and promising debut, and Wetscher a name to keep an eye out for.»
«Hohlrieder and Brown, give memorable child performances and fully grasp the emotional turmoil of their characters.»
«EKLIPSE is a beautiful queer story»
