This story line is an insightful look into human nature with all of its foils and ineptitudes, that go along with life. This film while shot in Europe(France) could have easily been applied anywhere in the western world. This is a lesson for one and all to see, to hear, and to learn from!!!

After a slow and somewhat confusing introduction constructed largely from flash-forwards and flashbacks, ADORED seemed to find its rhythm and I managed to fall in step with the film's somewhat flashy but "feelgood" cadence. There is perhaps a bit too much of that "flashiness" but I accepted it because of the story's focus on a porno star. Urbano Barbareni, as the main character's older brother, gives a superb, focused performance and I truly wish I could give this effort more than two stars. But, to my view, the last five minutes of the film really just came crashing in out of nowhere and left me feeling manipulated by everything that had gone before.

seeing the same name after "written by", "directed by" and "starring" can be the recipe for disaster. (e.g. ben & arthur) marco filiberti's film is anything but a disaster.

adored is a touching story of relationships - relationships with family, unrequited love among friends, and love that develops between an adult and a child in need.

the film also deals with the consequences of the life choices we make. expect no sugar-coated resolutions to every problem. this film shows what riccardo soldani's choice to become riki kandinsky costs him in both his personal and professional lives.
