Not so adorable

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
