Rating: ⭐⭐½ (2.5/5)

The film’s saving grace is its powerhouse leads. Naomi Watts (as Lil) and Robin Wright (as Roz) are completely committed. Their chemistry as lifelong friends feels authentic—you believe they have shared secrets, grief, and laughter for decades. Wright brings a grounded, steely vulnerability to Roz, a widow clinging to youth and affection. Watts, meanwhile, plays Lil with a softer, more ethereal recklessness. Their internal conflict is written on their faces, even when the script fails them.

Adore is the kind of film that begs to be discussed rather than simply watched. Based on Doris Lessing’s novella The Grandmothers , this sun-drenched Australian drama presents a provocative premise: two lifelong best friends (Naomi Watts and Robin Wright) begin romantic and sexual relationships with each other’s teenage sons.

You are uncomfortable with age-gap dynamics, large power imbalances, or films that prioritize mood over plot logic.

Adore is a beautiful, frustrating, and utterly strange film. It is too melodramatic to be a serious art-house hit, yet too slow and contemplative to be a trashy thriller. For viewers willing to suspend modern ethical lens and embrace the film as a fable about obsessive love, there is a hypnotic, tragic quality to it. You will likely find yourself shouting at the screen, but you probably won’t look away.

Y Tu Mamá También (for the sexual tension), The Reader (for taboo romance), or glossy dramas about beautiful people making terrible decisions.
