John A @ExcessMale 11/15/2023 Not nearly as searing as a tenured Egoyan viewer would rightfully expect. 'Adoration' is by no means a truly bad or boring film. Its just remarkably pale and is almost on the made-for-television level of writing and directing. See more dave s @RT68722908 10/16/2021 Like so many of Atom Egoyan's other films, Adoration is a complex story filled with complicated themes. Centered around ideas concerning identity, it tells the story of a wildly imaginative high school student who combines his own personal story with that of an article about a thwarted terrorist bombing in the Middle East, leading to unexpected revelations. The story itself if fascinating, Egoyan's direction is, as always, fantastic (the slow tracking shots are great) and Devon Bostick gives a strong performance in the lead role, but the film ultimately falters due to some horrific acting by the remainder of the cast, some awkward dialogue and an often confusing non-linear presentation of scenes.

See more 11/17/2013 An exquisite chronicle about a story that is so intense that the mystery of the characters and the tale itself become captivating for every second of production. Cinematography is deliciously beautiful creating an ambiance that is deeply penetrating for the eye. Actors absorb the passion and bring it out in their human spirit in front of the camera making this a must see film. Nibbles: Cornflakes. See more Read all reviews
