...disorienting contrast. When Eve (Naava Piatka) shouts at the dying Adam (Michael Stanton), "We had something real here--this was love!" she seems more like a Danielle Steel heroine than the mother of humanity. Ironically, despite its intention to make the Biblical story more acceptable to the modern viewer, "Genesis of Genesis" implies that the first book of the Bible has no relevance to modern times: Chirkov revises it so thoroughly that the force of the original is lost...

The final scene of the movie is a glorious tribute to nihilism in which Brad Pitt's world is torn apart by a senseless crime that leaves the viewer convinced that life is meaningless, that pain will always triumph over happiness and that it's kinder to abort an unborn child than to bring it into the world...
