 "The film suffers from a certain inevitability, boosted, however, by Diane Lane's performance, which is exceptional by any standards."
-- The Wolf, IOFILM.CO.UK
"If you're willing to have fun with it, you won't feel cheated by the high infidelity of Unfaithful."
-- Staci Layne Wilson, FANTASTICA DAILY
 "Several uninteresting, unlikeable people do bad things to and with each other in “Unfaithful.” Why anyone who is not a character in this movie should care is beyond me."
-- Jeffrey Westhoff, NORTHWEST HERALD (CRYSTAL LAKE, IL)
"Impeccably filmed, sexually charged, but ultimately lacking in substance, not to mention dragged down by a leaden closing act."
-- Brian Webster, APOLLO GUIDE
"As in "Belle de Jour," sexuality both liberates and imprisons its characters, and the supposedly unconditional love between a husband and wife is tested to the limit."
-- Phil Villarreal, ARIZONA DAILY STAR
"More mature than Fatal Attraction, more complete than Indecent Proposal and more relevant than 9 ½ Weeks, Unfaithful is at once intimate and universal cinema."
-- Urban Cinefile Critics, URBAN CINEFILE
"Richard Gere and Diane Lane put in fine performances as does French actor Oliver Martinez."
-- Tony Toscano, TALKING PICTURES
"There's nothing interesting in Unfaithful whatsoever."
-- Luke Y. Thompson, NEW TIMES
"Slick, steamy smut served up in a series of scenes framed
like Rembrandt paintings, with a soupcon of phony
meaningfulness on the side."
-- Frank Swietek, ONE GUY'S OPINION
"'Unfaithful' cheats on itself and retreats to comfortable territory. Too bad."
-- Eric D. Snider, ERICDSNIDER.COM
"Part drama, part thriller, "Unfaithful" is better than you might imagine. There are many subtle details and intriguing metaphors to Lyne's film that will engage the more faithful viewer."
-- Gerry Shamray, SUN NEWSPAPERS OF CLEVELAND
"Diane Lane, who in real-life is married to a Frenchman, gives an ecstatic performance, as her features glow with
passion during sex."
-- Dennis Schwartz, OZUS' WORLD MOVIE REVIEWS
"A surprisingly intriguing film that continues Lyne's reign of the `sexy thriller' genre."
-- Paul Salfen, SUPERCALA.COM
|
|
"Has none of the crackle of "Fatal Attraction", "9 ½ Weeks", or even "Indecent Proposal", and feels more like Lyne's stolid remake of "Lolita"."
-- Ian Waldron-Mantgani, UK CRITIC
"Lyne's latest, the erotic thriller Unfaithful, further demonstrates just how far his storytelling skills have eroded."
-- Jeff Vice, DESERET NEWS, SALT LAKE CITY
"Finds a way to tell a simple story, perhaps the simplest story of all, in a way that seems compelling and even original."
-- Catharine Tunnacliffe, EYE WEEKLY
"As steamy as last week's pork dumplings."
-- Lawrence Toppman, CHARLOTTE OBSERVER
"If you've ever wondered what an ending without the input of studio executives or test audiences would look like, here it is."
-- Gary Thompson, PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS
"Here, Adrian Lyne comes as close to profundity as he is likely to get."
-- Bob Strauss, LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS
"Quiet, adult and just about more stately than any contemporary movie this year... a true study, a film with a questioning heart and mind that isn’t afraid to admit it doesn’t have all the answers."
-- Brent Simon, ENTERTAINMENT TODAY
"Graphic sex may be what's attracting audiences to Unfaithful, but gripping performances by Lane and Gere are what will keep them awake."
-- Shirley Sealy, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL
"A morose little soap opera about three vapid, insensitive people who take turns hurting each other. It's a feature-length adaptation of one of those "Can This Marriage Be Saved?" columns from Ladies Home Journal..."
-- James Sanford, KALAMAZOO GAZETTE
"Exceptionally well acted by Diane Lane and Richard Gere."
-- Robert Roten, LARAMIE MOVIE SCOPE

"Diane Lane shines in Unfaithful. Almost everything else is wan."
-- Philip Wuntch, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"The vintage is pure '87, with a halfhearted twist on its cautionary message: Fatal Attraction = don't have an affair with a nutjob; Unfaithful = don't if you're married to one."
-- Jessica Winter, VILLAGE VOICE
"Though it is difficult to take Unfaithful as seriously as it takes itself, on its own terms it's quite well done."
-- Kenneth Turan, LOS ANGELES TIMES
"This seductive tease of a thriller gets the job done. It's a scorcher."
-- Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE
"Diane Lane's sophisticated performance can't rescue Adrian Lyne's Unfaithful from its sleazy moralizing."
-- Charles Taylor, SALON.COM
"The audience when I saw this one was chuckling at all the wrong times, and that's a bad sign when they're supposed to be having a collective heart attack."
-- Paul Tatara, CNN
"Diane Lane works nothing short of a minor miracle in Unfaithful."
-- Susan Stark, DETROIT NEWS
"Escapism in its purest form."
-- Andrew Sarris, NEW YORK OBSERVER
"The uncommonly good screenplay by Alvin Sargent and William Broyles Jr., keeps you undecided, even tormented, about whom to empathize with and why."
-- Steven Rosen, DENVER POST
"Diane Lane is magnificent in this movie."
-- Richard Roeper, EBERT & ROEPER
|

"Infidelity drama is nicely shot, well-edited and features a standout performance by Diane Lane."
-- James Rocchi, NETFLIX
