Adore (2013)

Yes, the acting was fne and the scenery was beautiful, but I think the story of 2 best friends, each sleeping with the others 20 year old son, is too much. Especially when the 4 of them hang out as couples like they were high-school sweethearts and there is no one else on the planet. My disdain for the movie is not about the fact older women are with younger men (bully for those ladies), it's the uncomfortable feeling of watching two mother's having sex with kids they've known since they were born. I don't see this as a love story, exept between the two lead female characters. Yes, one young man falls in love, but the Wright's character should have known better than to ever start up with him and I can't shake the feeling that these characters are all engaged in disdainful behavior. I didn't find the words spoken when Watts was pooring her broken heart out to be sympathetic....after all, she broke her promise not to screw Wright's son, and as a result, Wright lost her granddaugher....and Wright wasn't even mad. C'mon! I just find the whole thing left me with an icky feeling, and these are 2 of my favorite acttesses. I should probably read the book to find out the point of the movie, because I really don't get it.

Two great actresses... but are too prudish for the subject matter.The attraction is never truly explained. Romantic love. Pure Sexual desire Mid-life women need to be appreciated.Women who just can't let go of their sons.Beautifully shot, but still a sad story.The Doris Lessing short story should have stayed a short story. Ten lines would be too long a review.Ten lines would be too long a review.

I thought this was a really good movie.Whats bullshit is Netflix has movies like this with 1 or 2 stars that people don't watch and pass up because of the low ratings. I wish they would give IMDb ratings so that I could really gauge what to give a chance.But anyways, again I thought it was a really good movie, with a realistic plot and story line. I thought it would have a "lifetime" feel to it but it had a life of its own. If you don't have much to do, and you have an hour or two on your hands to watch a movie, I suggest this one.

My husband and I watched this movie and completely fell in love again. What is age when love is involved? It's love all the same. It made us feel the depth of loving someone very strongly regardless of age. The characters were well matched. The scenery was absolutely perfect in creating the serenity and overall peacefulness that was achieved by these lovers. I have recommended this movie to my adult family and friends of all ages. I have now come to realize that loving adults should not be judged because they don't fall in the typical couple category. In this world of strife and hate, love should be realized by all regardless of age, race or sex. Where there is love, there shouldn't be pain.
