Adore 2013


Adore


      Lil and Roz are mid-40’s lifelong friends in New South Wales and they grew up together as neighbors in this Australian beach town.  They both have two sons in there 20’s who are also best friends.  Lil’s husband passed away when her son was young and Roz’s husband has been working in Sydney.  Roz and Ian, Lil’s son, begin a fling but Ian is in love with Roz.  Tom, Roz’s son, begins an affair with Lil out of spite . 
     It would be wonderful to live on the coast in the idyllic area pictured in this film.  Also, it doesn’t seem that you need to work very hard to have this lifestyle. The women agree that this has crossed the line and they want to stop.  I didn’t know how this was going to end and the subject matter has a squirm factor.  3* (This movie is OK)
112 min, Drama directed by Anne Fontaine with Naomi Watts, Robin Wright Xavier Samuel, James Frecheville, Ben M
endelsohn, Jessica Tovery, Sophie Lowe, Gary Sweet, Alyson Standen.
Note:  Imdb 6.2 out of 10, 31% critic 43% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Roger Ebert 3*.
