masonfisk When bad Aussie drama meets Ingmar Bergman, you have Adore. Two lifelong friends decide to sleep with each other sons for what reason? I don't know. With nary a hint of regret or conflict, these affairs go on with the redundancy of food prep. Coming from the writer of Dangerous Liaisons, Christopher Hampton, one feels his heart is not in this exercise. Watch Damage with Jeremy Irons to see this notion better realized.

espinosat3 While this movie takes on an uncommon and awkward issue of young adult male friends falling for each other's mothers, it should have been made more dramatic to stay interesting. Instead, it was very boring and very weak drama that it just drags along for nearly 2-hours. When 2 best friends since childhood decide to sleep with each other's mothers, one would expect more dramatic conflict and turmoil to result. Instead, it proceeds along a more boring path almost to an extent where the characters nearly accept it as normal.

supermaggie This film is neither boring nor pointless, that there are people who see it this way, makes its importance even more clear. I did certainly not give the film such a high rating, because I am looking for love stories, but because there is an important point being made: it is falsely being said, that it is about the breaking of a taboo, the right thing to do is to make clear that there are no taboos here at all. Are we really still so behind in gender equality? It is not about incestuous intercourse between relatives, it is not about seduction of minors, it is about four grown-ups who find each other, and that they are cross-over related does not matter at all. If it were not the sons but the brothers of the women, then there would be the same great firestorm, I am sure, because what many reviewers seriously see as repulsive is the mere fact that the women are much older - so what ?? Biology (to put it in a corny way: the early loss of virility with age and the late flowering of female sensuality) even suggests that this way it makes all the more sense. And since the world is horribly overpopulated anyway, you do not need to bring the argument of childbearing. Fact: if disgusting old men lay their wrinkled hands on young women and girls, it is called normal, if the sexes are reversed (then the whole thing is not half as disgusting, but) it is called a scandal and repulsive etc.-why? Because men like to have it this way and the men determine everything and most women are so stupid and obey. Fact is also, that -as the film shows- (unfortunately) it is still unconventional, but just does not have to be nasty and that it is not better to act sensible/ in accordance with the social expectations and break up an intimacy and affection and attempt the conventional model instead – this way everybody will suffer in the end. And about the speculation whether Lil and Roz indirectly live out a lesbian relationship through the sons: it would not bother me if they were lesbian, but they are not, it is about an intimate connection, which they intensify/deepen by this cross-over relationship, not about indirect lesbian sex - fortunately not everything is about sex! Conclusion: relevant issue, as it is still a "taboo" / an inequality between women and men - for silly, vain reasons. -> No breach of taboo since there is no taboo just deep affection which is being sacrificed for social conventions which makes everybody unhappy.

Andrew Collins (talktorenza) How many guys have fantasised about being with their best friends mother? Well this film takes that fantasy and brings it to reality. If you have ever watched a pornographic movie where sons get it on with friends mothers this is the basic concept for this movie. Reviews are mainly opinion's and not facts but any review under seven stars can lead viewers to believe that factually the film won't be that interesting a watch. Well despite the major negative critics reviews the film is actually pretty good and the character's aren't just one dimensional statues. I'll keep it vague as to not spoil your viewing pleasure of this film too much. A basic synopsis of the story is that one of the sons falls in love with his best friend's mother and they end up having sex. His friend finds out and gets back at him by doing the same thing vice versa and sleeping with his friend's mum out of spite. Everything starts of awkward and then comfort sets in as all parties involved in this sexual orgy of young guys and "milfs" get used to the idea and the sex begins to feel like a fix. It then becomes complicated when one of the guys begins sleeping with another woman his own age which leads this unspoken agreement to gradually come to an end. I would say some scenes can drag on and they could have dived deeper into how something as strange as their four way relationship made everyone in the group feel because that's not something that happens every day. Anyway I definitely would say that I 'adore' this film and the artistic way that they turned an act of slightly incestuous debauchery into a story of emotion, passion and love my rating is 7.5/10 and I would urge anyone sceptical because of the original rating to take a chance and watch it.
