"Se trata de esas cintas que mucho verán se diga lo que se diga, pero permítanme declarar que no hay mucho que esta cinta aporte como para recomendarla."
Cinenganos
Alex Ramirez
"You have once again entered the bizarre realm where director Adrian Lyne holds sway, where all relationships are simultaneously broadly metaphorical, oddly abstract, and excruciatingly literal."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
1.5/4
"Watching
Unfaithful
feels like having sandpaper rubbed in your face."
Cinemaphile.org
David Keyes
B-
"Diane Lane, who in real-life is married to a Frenchman, gives an ecstatic performance, as her features glow with passion during sex."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
3/4
"Takes an unflinching, emotionally rattling look at the recklessness of infidelity."
TheMovieBoy.com
Dustin Putman
3/4
"Softcore porn poet Adrian Lyne knows good sex."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez

"'Unfaithful' cheats on itself and retreats to comfortable territory. Too bad."

Eric D. Snider
2/4
"We’ve seen this story more times than Connie screws Paul and...is the equivalent of watching the Lifetime channel on the Champs d'Elyses."
eFilmCritic.com
Erik Childress
B+
"The movie doesn't give us a reason, but it doesn't lecture either; it understands, and so do we."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
D
"Slick, steamy smut served up in a series of scenes framed like Rembrandt paintings, with a soupcon of phony meaningfulness on the side."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
" Vividly conveys the false allure and the horrifying calamity of extramarital affairs."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
2.5/4
"After the plot's big turning point, the movie loses its focus and can't decide whether it wants to be a melodrama or a crime thriller."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
3.5/4
"offers a rare opportunity (in movies, at any rate) to explore a woman's sexuality and the tear she feels between devotion to her family and her need to feel sensual"
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
3/5
"Infidelity drama is nicely shot, well-edited ... and features a standout performance by Diane Lane."
Netflix
James Rocchi
4/10
"Would play better as a study of the human predisposition toward infidelity were its characters not so illogically single-minded and its atmosphere not so cheap-romance-novel trashy."
Window to the Movies
Jeffrey Chen
4.5/10
"
Unfaithful
isn't the thriller it's advertised to be and isn't a good and/or original enough drama to compensate for that."
Screen It!
Jim Judy
7/10
"But the real linchpin of this film is the extremely underrated and very lovely actress, Diane Lane."
JoBlo's Movie Emporium
JoBlo
6/10
"As a dramatic, erotic, romantic, existential (or not) thriller,
Unfaithful
almost but not quite succeeds."
DVDTown.com
John J. Puccio
"What Lyne has done is turn a once-gripping thriller into a morality tale that wallows in its own excess."
Light Views
John Larsen
7/10
"You can practically feel the heat."
Planet Sick-Boy
Jon Popick
2.5/4
"'Lo que vale el precio es la estupenda actuación de Diane Lane, quien encarna a la perfección el prototipo de mujer moderna con una sólida interpretación'"
Moviola
Jorge Avila Andrade
4.5/5
"No, you are not more surprised than I am at my rating. Diane Lane delivers Oscar worthy stuff in a tightly made film."
Cinerina
Karina Montgomery
0.5/4
"... for all the mistakes this couple made, the story makes the viewer suffer more than the couple on screen."
MovieCrypt.com
Kevin A. Ranson
2/4
"The film drags and drags between forgettable sex and scenes of Richard Gere getting suspicious."
Montreal Film Journal
Kevin N. Laforest
A-
"a stylish reflection on passion, guilt and marriage"
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
2.5/5
"This fundamentally cold (and very French) conceit is muffled in fuzzy layers of (very American) soul-baring."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
2.5/4
"Eventually gains the sense of warning that should accompany such a morality tale but for far too long indulges in cheap, unmotivated exploitation."
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
"I think Lyne was looking for a way to get a sophisticated babe like Lane as naked as possible. Sure, honey, it’s art."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
0/4
"At every turn, Lane's valiant efforts are thwarted by a patch of atrocious dialogue or a questionable directing decision."
Mr. Brown's Movies
Michael Dequina
2.5/4
"My advice: go for 80 minutes, then walk out."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
4/5
"[Diane Lane] is more than enough reason to see
Unfaithful
."

"Exceptionally well acted by Diane Lane and Richard Gere."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
B
"Diane Lane gives one of her best performances to date..."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
2.5/4
"Makes a fetish of consensual rape and Frenchmen who like Jack London and The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayam (one part Gallic stud, one part wilderness grizzle, one part moony teen)."
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
2/4
"Diane Lane is the best part of an otherwise unimpressive movie."
