This is a real treat for fans of early Egoyan films like Next of Kin or Speaking Parts.

Adoration is a triumph, a provocative work about terror in the world and in people's hearts.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 6, 2018

Clearly fascinated by the power of new technology and the fact that anyone is able to broadcast their thoughts, Egoyan has made an engrossing movie with an intriguing, original plot.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 23, 2017

Adoration spins an intricate weave of deception, an avatar maze in which almost every character is revealed to have more than one persona.

| Mar 17, 2015

In Egoyanland it's always winter, but that can be reassuring.

| Aug 26, 2011

Uneven enigmatic social drama that's framed like an imaginative mystery story.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 1, 2010

A chilly intellectualism sucks the dramatic life out of Canadian auteur Atom Egoyan's Adoration.

| Aug 9, 2010

One does not want to be offensive, but the voice of the complacent Toronto middle class comes across loud and clear.

| Jul 6, 2010

Though Egoyan, as usual, frequently strains credibility he at least manages to weave all of this into a fairly absorbing detective story that explores the roots and damaging implications of prejudice with unexpected grace.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 16, 2010

Without the constrictions of an adapted text, Egoyan's creativity turns towards intellectual exercise.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 2, 2010

Unfortunately the elaborately unspooled plot delivering these ideas in dramatic form is so scraggy and effortful it defeats the cast and rather compromises our involvement.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 2, 2010

The most positive thing you can say about Atom Egoyan's latest film is that it is well-intentioned. But the most honest thing that you can say is that it's a painfully misguided and pretentious folly.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 2, 2010

A pretty fatuous equivalence, made much more implausible by the clotted structure, some wince-makingly unconvincing scenes and truly terrible acting.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 2, 2010

Atom Egoyan is up to his old tricks with this fractured, elusive drama, resembling but never measuring up to the ones which launched his career.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 2, 2010

Populated with rich, complex characters, Adoration's impressive array of ideas is matched by its visual beauty and narrative ingenuity.

Full Review | Feb 2, 2010

If you can buy into the improbable, this ultimately pans out as a wise and rather poignant story.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 2, 2010

A complex, compelling brew, enhanced throughout by Egoyan's hypnotic style. Sadly, it's also weirdly remote and agonisingly slow.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 2, 2010

An ill-judged crack at a mainstream thriller.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 2, 2010

A characteristically skewed but cerebral look at a dysfunctional family in a movie much easier to admire than actually like.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 2, 2010

Theme is all-powerful, with characters verbally fondling their histories and identities - and, in one typically po-faced scene, intellectualising vomit.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 2, 2010
