Release Date: September 6, 2013 (USA)
Director: Anne Fontaine
Starring: Namoi Watts, Robin Wright
MPAA Rating: R
Adapted from: The Grandmothers: Four Short Novels by Doris Lessing
Synopsis: Set in an Australian seaside town of otherworldly beauty and shot in lush 35mm Cinemascope, Adore establishes an aura of fable as it follows two womens plunge into uncharted waters. Watts and Wright fearlessly engage with both the physical and psychological components of the story, capturing the complex emotions and powerful desires driving their characters. Strong performances from relative newcomers Xavier Samuel (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse)and James Frecheville (Animal Kingdom) complement Watts and Wrights and add another layer of intricacy to the story. Under the precise gaze of Fontaines camera, Adore, radiates with intoxicating sensuality while exploring the intricacies of love, family, morality, and passion. - AdoreMovie.com
Okay, how do I begin? Now, this is not a review but more of a rant from the likes of 'what the hell did I just watch.' In case the synopsis of the movie didn't let you understand, the movie centers around two women, best friends since children and their lives surrounding their sons. The two women end up falling in love with each other's sons.
I'm just - I have no words, honestly. It was a very good movie, in my opinion but I'm just trying to wrap my head around the idea of hooking up with your best friend's son. The mothers didn't act like mothers in this movie, plus, one of the moms (Naomi Watts) looked like a teenager herself!
Okay, now that I've calmed down I can say that I did truly like this movie. It was heart-warming and tragic at the same time. Watts and Wright couldn't help but succumb to their desires and their sons just really loved them. I can't make this into a proper review, hell, this is just me ranting about a movie I have no words for it, to be honest.
The cinematography was beautiful, the location was beautiful and the script was beautiful. It was a sensual and powerful and it essentially had a great meaning. Do what makes you happy. Be comfortable with yourself and choices because it doesn't matter what anyone thinks. That's what I got out of it.
I highly recommend watching this movie, but careful, NSFW.
Stay Whimsical,
Bianca
