Adoration Ratings & Reviews
Detroit News
Tom Long
Egoyan is nothing if not low key; and as dramatic as passages are here, he keeps the tone under control and the story believable.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
Bostick turns in a quietly mesmerizing performance, capturing Simon's sense of loss without slipping into pathos.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
The film offers up a tidal wave of ebbs and flows, things deftly moving between past and present, truth and fiction, with magnetic ease.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
In Atom Egoyan's disconcerting and unpredictable Adoration, a young man's attempt to make sense of himself and his family's history turns strange when his re-imagined version of that history becomes a combustible topic for online chatter.
Washington Post
Dan Zak
Adoration is a delicate rumination on how innocence and truth evolve in the aftermath of catastrophe, as people stake emotional ownership in tragedy.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Egoyan's pacing is careful, deliberate, as it must be, because he's pulling together a complex tale, playing with time to reveal details piece by piece.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Egoyan's most affecting film since The Sweet Hereafter.
Movie Retriever
Brian Tallerico
I'm always going to be something of an apologist for a filmmaker like Egoyan, someone so true to his characters and his concepts that he sometimes doesn't know how to manage them into a completely successful screenplay.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Scott Speedman gives a piercing, intelligent performance.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Why does Egoyan weave a tangled web? Because his characters are caught in it.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Because of the allegorical nature of its people, "Adoration" never fully brings them to life - especially, and most crucially, Simon and Sabine. They are mouthpieces before they are human beings.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Whatever mystery is here is not a function of the story but of how Egoyan chooses to tell the story. Once all is revealed, the reaction is, 'So what?'
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Watching Adoration is like juggling three tennis balls, a porcupine, and a graduate thesis, but eventually it finds a unifying theme, that of tolerance melting away racial and intergenerational hatreds.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Under the violin swells of Mychael Danna's enveloping score, Egoyan weaves the personal, the political, and the technological into an immense yet intimate comment on our troubled times. In doing so, he stumbles back into relevance again.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Adoration, which hinges on a number of coincidences, contains some really fine performances, including a surprising one from Canadian utility player Scott Speedman as the student's rough-hewn uncle and guardian.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
When we look for illumination, all we find is chaos and darkness.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Adoration is a profound and provocative exploration of cultural inheritance.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Moody, provocative and intellectually ambitious, Adoration is primed to elicit impassioned discussion among audiences.
MSNBC
Alonso Duralde
Egoyan will continue to make some of this generation's most provocative and enduring films; Adoration just isn't one of them.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Atom Egoyan's latest glum puzzle is a meditation on post-9/11 hysteria, but it's too much 'What's the meaning of terrorism?' cud chewing too late.
