Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

masonfisk When bad Aussie drama meets Ingmar Bergman, you have Adore. Two lifelong friends decide to sleep with each other sons for what reason? I don't know. With nary a hint of regret or conflict, these affairs go on with the redundancy of food prep. Coming from the writer of Dangerous Liaisons, Christopher Hampton, one feels his heart is not in this exercise. Watch Damage with Jeremy Irons to see this notion better realized.

bensonrt Two great actresses... but are too prudish for the subject matter.The attraction is never truly explained. Romantic love. Pure Sexual desire Mid-life women need to be appreciated.Women who just can't let go of their sons.Beautifully shot, but still a sad story.The Doris Lessing short story should have stayed a short story.

dc-43 I saw that this had won a couple of awards. It also stars Naomi Watts who is one of my favourite actresses.The chemistry in the love stories just wasn't there. The story just seemed too contrived and far fetched. It was one of those movies that I just wanted to be over. Towards the end it did get a little more interesting but then had an unsatisfying ending.Also Naomi is starting to show her age.Were there any good points? The scenery was excellent and I did enjoy listening to all of those Aussie accents. It makes you appreciate that Australian actors have to put on American accents for most of their Hollywood films.

bbickley13-921-58664 I'll be blunt. I had to see the film after I saw it on someone's most controversial movies list. The premise of two moms sleeping with each other's sons, especially when one of those moms is Naomi Watts, who I could not wait to see play hot MILF, was so appealing to me that I put it on top of my to watch list.But from the poster, I assumed they were two woman who happen to be vacationing in the same place and just so happen to start sleeping with the other one's offspring. Instead it's a story of two women who not only knew each other all their lives, they also knew each other's sons since they were children. Sorry, but my open mind started to close after that came to light in the first five minutes.It may seem sexist, but I can't help to think this guilty pleasure would not have gotten made if it was two dads getting it on with their best friend smoking hot, barely legal daughter. Seems like a double standard as you could at best make a comedy about it rather than the steaming Romantic outing this movie is.It does not help that Robin Wright plays the other mom. It may just be her haircut that gives me the impression of a liberated woman who would defend her characters mid-life crisis, despite the fact that all I see going on here is a male fantasy for those under the age of twenty four.But you'll have to excuse my rant as the movie is actually genus. It helps that they got such fine actors as Watts & Wright to play the lead roles. Any thing less would have made this no better than a a late night romp on skinemax.The filmmakers handle the subject matter with poise and respect. Sometimes a little over melodramatic to prove this point in this twisted version of how Stella got her grove back, especially considering that the boy they got to play Wright's love interest could have been better cast as her son. Overall...this movie got weirder the more further it went down the rabbit hole, but the stranger it got the more I loved it, even the times I almost vomited in my mouth. It shows a great depth in the relationship between the four that was just too well done.Definitely worth talking about.
