Reviews


80
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).
63
McClatchy-Tribune News Service - Roger Moore
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.
60
Time Out - Keith Uhlich
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.
60
Los Angeles Times - Betsy Sharkey
It's a challenging film, but maybe not as challenging as it should be.
50
The A.V. Club - Ben Kenigsberg
The setup promises more intrigue than the film ultimately delivers.
