Review of Adoration

Adoration (2008)
7/10
Not one to provoke Adoration, but it's good, quite good

Here is another interesting piece from Atom Egoyan. As one might expect it is psychologically surreal, unbelievable, but fascinating because no director crafts like this.

Arsinee Kahnjian plays the leading lady again. She is never the protagonist but her performances are always the most memorable in her husbands work. She has (for lack of a better word) mystique, although some scenes in Adoration show her being a little quirkier than usual. Some consider Egoyan to be cold towards humanity, which is an understandable argument, but perhaps a bit severe.

Adoration in fact has a little heart, not nearly as much as The Sweet Hereafter but still it got me to care. It has a lot of other things going for it, it may be a small movie but it won't leave a small impression on you (if you are a patient viewer)
