If watching magnetically beautiful people fall in love in an incredibly beautiful setting doesn't interest you, skip Adore, which proposes a new layer to the definition of family.
Along with great performances (you can't deny that Naomi Watts can cry with the best of them), it offers something visual for those at either side of the spectrum (although who says you need to be on either side). Robin Wright is elegant as ever, and you can practically feel the thoughts she's thinking as she limits her words.
The trailer gives you a good idea of what to expect. The director Anne Fontaine has done other sumptuous things if you like this one.
Basics: Two mothers, two sons, four relationships.
Be Advised: Watch with wine. Resist the urge to book the next flight to Australia.
