Adore is, as my late mother would say in describing Sidney Sheldon novels, good trash.

There's a fascinating depth to this challenging piece, even if you are laughing when you're not supposed to.

This film needed serious judgment: someone to rewrite the underwritten draft of the script and to have a firmer opinion on these terribly unappealing characters

As crazy as it may seem, it's a pretty compelling journey to watch.

Lagniappe (Mobile, AL)
An exceedingly silly, sun-baked sex movie, the kind of import that adds just enough brains to its genitals to get into U.S. arthouses. (In the '70s, the mothers would have been played by Laura Antonelli and Sylvia Kristel.)

This isn't an Oedipus complex. This is a Preposterous complex.

Rating: 3/10 --
While Adore is based on some fairly salacious material, it tries to be an earnest drama examining the nature of friendship and lust and leaving convention behind. Unfortunately, Adore is a snore.

Naomi Watts, Robin Wright, Xavier Samuel, and James Frecheville star.
