RogerEbert.com — Adore
Naomi Watts and Robin Wright bring dignity to this cougar-tastic tale of lifelong best friends who have affairs with each others’ sons. It’s exquisitely photographed but ultimately melodramatic. As I say in my review for RogerEbert.com, it’s what my mom would have called “good trash.”
DIRECTV is showing ADORE on Pay-Per-View during the same time it’s playing in movie theaters. Thank you, DTV.
Beautiful cinematography. The ocean, so crystal clear on that pristine island. Gorgeous people. Perfect bodies – especially Wright and Watts.
I don’t want to give anything away, but I thought the story rolled like the tide . . . too easy. A little preposterous. Too dismissive of important relationships. While the premise might have been drawn from a true story, I wanted to see more honesty between the characters. Perhaps the sons represented a physical intimacy each women could never give to the other.
