(1 - 19) of 19 OFCS Rating: 63% Fresh Page   1   2.5/4 "Egoyan is so concerned with packing as much narrative and thematic material into his film that he doesn't quite know what to do with it."   Slant Magazine   Andrew Schenker 2.5/5 "overbearing and muddled... laborious and earnestly weighty."   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin B- "As with all of Egoyan's films, "Adoration" is a forward-thinking exploratory work of cinema meant to invigorate audiences into social discussions beyond its narrative structure."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 2.5/4 "...ultimately overcomes an almost disastrously plodding opening half hour to become a slight yet somewhat engaging piece of work."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B "Another well-wrought and intriguing drama by Egoyan."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B "Another well-wrought and intriguing drama by Egoyan."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider "Moody, gliding filmmaking and ripples of quizzical humor save it from being a lugubrious game of therapeutic musical chairs."   Slant Magazine   Fernando F. Croce B+ "Those who make an effort to respond to its challenges will find it an absorbing and haunting experience."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "A compelling character-driven drama about family secrets, imagination, and the technological toys of modern society."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat B "From any objective standard, [Egoyan's] films...are awful. So why are they so damn appealing?"   Cinepinion   Henry Stewart 5/10 "A stylish film with a solid cast and equally solid acting. But it feels like an exercise film, the kind of filmic monologue one might produce for an assignment not unlike the story that the young hero concocts."   DVDTown.com   James Plath 2/6 "The time-jumping narrative and self-consciously somnambulant mood undermine the writer-director’s zeitgeist-inspired thesis."   Time Out New York   Keith Uhlich "Some find [Egoyan] obtuse and overly intellectual; I like the chances he takes with his films, and his unique way of examining the mundane and tying it to larger issues, and he does that very well in Adoration."   Cinematical   Kim Voynar B- "...the epitome of an Atom Egoyan movie, with its themes of technological influences on human communication and finding the truth amidst family secrets."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "If Egoyan's elliptical narrative flirts with pretentiousness, the director nonetheless encases his action in an affecting mood of regret and longing."   The Screengrab   Nick Schager "This is one of those films that isn't nearly as interesting as the conversations that it may inspire."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 4/5 "With his usual themes of memory and technology, Egoyan tells a provocative and deeply emotional story that centres on current issues. It's a little heavy handed, but still thoroughly involving."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 1.5/4 "A pretentious, naval-gazing pity party thrown for condescending, affected blowhards."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 19) of 19 OFCS Rating: 63% Fresh Page   1
