Adore (2013)
Directed by Anne
Fontaine this film based on a short story in “The Grandmothers”
stars Naomi Watts, Robin Wright, Ben Mendelsohn and Xavier Samuel.
Two middle aged women that have been best friends for life start
relationships with each others sons.
The problem with this
film is that I am not sure it ever really explores with enough depth
why the unusual relationships it depicts happen. This is not what you
would call a bad film but it does not seem to be a fully realised
story either. Where the film is strong is in transplanting the story
to Australia and is shot really well, making excellent use of the
landscapes.
3/5
