RacsOview: "Adoration" (2009)

I came into "Adoration" thinking that it might one of the year's bests. I was sort of excited about it, oh well, extremely excited about it. I was staring to worry because I already enjoyed a whole deal lot of films already for this year. Thanks to my eagerness to see other than US films. Anyway. "Adoration". Hmmm. It was crap.

"Adoration" was about this kid who was asked by his French/Drama teacher to tell this hoax story about his family and how they died. Only to spun controversy in his school and the student's parents to almost everyone he knew personally and online.

Sitting through it was kinda an odd experience. First off, the score was droning in my ears. I know it was supposed to be good. I think that if I listen to the score alone, it would be good. But it was all over the place. Also, I could not shake the feeling that this is not Atom Egoyan's work. This feels like a drama B movie. It was odd because everything felt out of place. Well maybe the acting might have saved some some. And the writing and the premise was sort of intriguing. But it never really go places. It just started off intriguing then fell flat. I also felt that the ideas were all crammed in the end that the beginning felt so much of a test of patience.

There is nothing to adore in "Adoration" other than the fact that the main premise could have been really good. It was [C]rap.
