Beautifully haunting, why why why, are we the way we are, it takes a serious look at social opinions, religions, what is right or wrong, leaving the... viewer with some soul searching to do. Not only was it thought provoking, it was lovely cinematography that went from in your face with online video chat, to soft emotional flash backs. Arsinée Khanjian keep pushing and pushing your buttons but with such intrigue, you wanted her to push you to the edge. Scott Speedman is so easy on the eyes even as a down and out tow-truck drive his eyes invite you in, while his voice tells you stay out, stay back, don't. To navigate between these to forces is Devon Bostick who does a stellar job as a high school teenager just trying to find his identity (family) by putting together the piece of his parents past and his now, to create a picture he never could have imaged. It is a must for any Indy fan or art film lover, I wouldn't take some one that needs explosions or the typical Hollywood fanfare this is not that film. Those who like to think and watch an amazing story are in for a treat. Full Review

A profound and provocative exploration of cultural inheritance, communications technology and the roots and morality of terrorism, the Canadian filmmaker Atom Egoyan nimbly wades into an ideological minefield without detonating an explosion.Full Review
Moody, provocative and intellectually ambitious, Adoration is primed to elicit impassioned discussion among audiences.Full Review
At a minimum, his new film, Adoration, marks a welcome return to the Egoyan of old, the one who could spin seductive mysteries out of disassembled parts and show how images can be manipulated into comforting lies.Full Review
Shot on beautifully utilized film but employing images vividly from the Internet and mobile phones, it's an examination of the power that false ideas may have on people's imagination and beliefs when they are repeated over and over.Full Review
Some viewers may find the film confusing; I found it absorbing.Full Review
