The Guardian Damon Wise

An incredibly provocative piece of work, featuring a brave and vulnerable performance by Naomi Watts (who seems perhaps a little too young) and a career-high acting masterclass from Robin Wright (who is cast perfectly). Read full review

As edgy female wish-fulfillment fantasy, showing that fantasy’s consequences, Adore engrosses and engages, never titillates and never betrays even the tiniest hint of revulsion. Read full review

You can barely stifle a laugh, and the way Wright and Watts deliver rote, morally searching dialogue with deer-in-the-headlights stoicism (“We’ve crossed a line,” Lil blankly notes) doesn’t help matters. Read full review

Given the level of sophistication at which the movie operates, they might as well have called it Motherlover, after the Lonely Island video in which Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake sing about the exact same taboo foursome. The only significant difference is that the comedy in “Motherlover” is fully intentional. Read full review

Adore at its core is a bore, nothing more. Read full review

Everything is spelled out literally and at a stultifying pace, in a story that might have worked onscreen as either heightened melodrama or farcical comedy. Instead Fontaine, who is not exactly blessed with a light touch, opts for misplaced sincerity. Read full review

Though Fontaine makes sure the beaches are sun-dappled and the women’s shared house comes off like a sandy paradise, the movie is like the early-’80s groaner “Summer Lovers” with wrinkle lines. Hooray for the freedom and beauty of older women — a demographic that deserves better than the deplorable Adore. Read full review

I enjoyed this move. However, Roz's son Tom was a blank canvas. Which made it hard to believe the relationship with Lil would last for years. Robin Wright and Xavier Samuel characters- very sexy and passionate. Xavier Samuel is beautiful!

hot, hot, hot. Beautiful place, beautiful people. It was a sit back, relax and enjoy kind of movie. No violence. Sure it's a fantasy, but Isn't it a fantasy we are looking for movies?

A movie about terrible narcissistic people living in a fantasy world of privileged isolation is actually not all that scandalous. The acting by the leading ladies is good and the photography and score are impressive. It is intriguing, but at the same time quite frivolous.

Sort of anti-climatic. Of all the movies there are made...I feel it's easy to pick this one out as a waste and rather could have stayed a book, but it is unique at least.

Adore manages to be many things like creepy, ludicrous, swallow but nothing can describe it better as a humorless boring melodrama in an isolated setting with nothing that inspires or intrigues. Nothing to see here besides the beautiful scenery.

Elle sont amies depuis longtemps et décident de... non, elles ne se mettent pas à tondre la pelouse soudainement ! non, elles se tapent juste le fiston de la copine et réciproquement ! parce que nos milfs, elles aiment la chair fraîche ! Remarquez, non que je sois contre, même si ça sent l'inceste par procuration... Parce qu'après tout nos milfs ont encore des besoins mais faudrait tout de même pas nous prendre pour des cons non plus... parce qu'à ce tarif-là, la marmotte, elle emballe vraiment le chocolat dans le papier alu et elle le livre chez toi ! en personne. Je précise au cas où que milf est un acronyme qui signifie "mother I'd like to **** et qu'il est particulièrement de circonstance ici.

Nos deux vieilles sont en effet tout-à-fait "****ables" et par ailleurs deux actrices très estimables... lorsqu'elles ne tournent pas dans cette espèce de co-production australo-française mise en scène par Anne Fontaine, l'endormie qui brasse du vide et surtout de la merde psycho-intello à deuyx balles (et encore).

Car cette connerie en plus d'être mal jouée, mal dirigée et mal foutue se révèle d'un ennui abyssal. Perfect daube !… Expand
