  Unfaithful (2002) - Ninth Symphony Films Review
Unfaithful has the look of a big screen thriller, but it strikes one more like the crisp pages of a steamy romance novel.
Throughout the movie, Connie must show her love toward both Edward and Olivier Martinez's "Paul Martel" and it's hard to see why she would continue to have affection for Edward for the run of the film.
On its best day, Unfaithful is a mild piece of escapist entertainment which would be best seen on the comfort of one's couch, with a receipt from blockbuster video sitting on the counter.

 Movie Review: Unfaithful
In Unfaithful, Edward Sumner (Richard Gere) is a businessman with a beautiful wife named Constance (Diane Lane), a young son (Erik per Sullivan), and a nice home in the suburbs.
Unfaithful has been billed as a suspense thriller, and has been compared (in the movie’s advertising campaign, at least) to Fatal Attraction.
This is not a movie for children or even teenagers, and I’d stick with the recommendation of the R rating: No one under 17.

 Unfaithful (2002)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Unfaithful tells the story of a perfectly normal and happy couple, Edward (Richard Gere) and Connie (Diane Lane).
They look ideal: he is a very successful businessman, she is a wonderful and loving wife and mother to their young son, and they live in a beautiful home.
Unfaithful really plays itself out as a human story about lust and the consequences but it doesn't preach.

 Unfaithful Movie Review
Nowadays, when Hollywood studios decide to re-make a 1970s or 1980s movie, it is almost certain that the new version would have "PG- 13" rating instead of the original "R" (and these days "PG-13" is much closer to "PG" than it originally intended).
The most pleasant surprise of UNFAITHFUL is in the genre - this film belongs to the realm of drama rather than the realm of thriller.
UNFAITHFUL shows the effects of infidelity, but, in this particular case, doesn't show the causes - Sumner's marriage is portrayed as perfect; Edward doesn't neglect or abuse his wife.

 MOVIE - UNFAITHFUL - Review Rating $$$$$ (OUT OF 10)
Unfaithful is really a reworking of the tale of Adam and Eve, with Martinez taking the place of the apple and suburbia taking the place of the garden of Eden.
While the movie is visually pleasing, and the cinematography was used judiciously to magnify various points in the story, good cinematography alone doesn't make a movie worth seeing.
The movie is equivocal about who the true villain is and tries to have its cake and eat it too.

 DVD Review: Unfaithful
"Unfaithful" certainly seems like the most restrained of director Adrian Lyne's often-controversial movies, but this is both a positive and a negative.
It's not a full-length track, but there is a "play all" option so that the movie jumps ahead to where the actors are speaking next.
Also: Interviews with Lane, Gere and Martinez; "Unfaithful"'s theatrical trailer (which I still think is a bit more dramatic and captures something that the movie doesn't) as well as the teaser trailer for "Daredevil" and the full trailer for "Dancer Upstairs".

 The Popkorn Junkie :: Unfaithful
Movie review for the film Unfaithful starring Diane Lane, Richard Gere, and Oliver Martinez.
"Unfaithful" is a good, solid thriller that delivers the goods and then some.
Sure, it doesn't look like much in the previews, but as it ironically turns out the movies that look crappy or none-too-appealing in the trailers turn out to be surprisingly good and the ones that look great in the trailers turn out to be very disappointing.

 Unfaithful reviewed on AudioRevolution.com
The movie is somewhat prissy in terms of morality; Connie is clearly enjoying her sexual fling -- she has lively encounters in a freight elevator, in a coffee shop restroom and elsewhere -- but her activities are also very clearly Wrong.
In the first part of the movie, the central character is clearly the wife; we follow her sexual adventures, we observe her reactions, even her guilty feelings when she talks with a couple of friends without revealing anything, and one of them -- who's been through it -- says that all such affairs end badly.
The movie is very carefully designed, both in terms of sets and costumes -- but it's SO carefully designed that the work is highly obvious.

 Unfaithful (2002) Movie Review - The Hollywood News
In Unfaithful, Diane Lane plays a married woman who finds herself involved in a heated affair, despite being in a very happy marriage.
This is a movie full of startling confessions and bold, seemingly nonsensical choices made.
While I wouldn't put Unfaithful in the same league as In the Bedroom or Eyes Wide Shut, it does have the same kind of sensibility.

 Richard Gere: Unfaithful - Movie
So many movies portray the jealous/betrayed spouse, without bothering to explore the source of those feelings; or else they chalk it up to some simple, easy, animalistic "if I can't have her" sort of nonsense.
I'm saying as a whole this movie is well acted, and brilliantly directed with all the pieces fitting together even up to the ending scene (in front of the police station, with a red light).
Adrian Lyne's "Unfaithful" is, in many respects, a spin through familiar waters for the director -- the crushing impact of infidelity on a marriage.

 Unfaithful - Movie Preview (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Adrian Lyne’s new movie, Unfaithful, is based on a French classic - but with a very modern twist.
Unfaithful is inspired by Claude Chabrol’s 1968 classic La femme infidèle, about a man who slowly begins to suspect that his wife is having an affair.
In Chabrol’s original movie, the role taken by Gere in this one is played by Michel Bouquet, an actor who made a career out of being the essence of ordinariness (he recently re-emerged in the arthouse hit Toto-le-héros).

 SPLICEDwire | "Unfaithful" review (2002) Adrian Lyne, Richard Gere, Diane Lane
This is a film with decent performances (Lane as the libidinous woman and Gere as the wronged, deeply hurt husband relish in playing against type) and a few good surprises as the three points of the love triangle reveal themselves to one another.
The characters are unsympathetic, foolish and terribly transparent liars (especially when the plot calls for the police to enter the picture), and Lyne offers no clues to why Lane feels bored in her life as a happy wife and mom.
If the picture's trashier elements appeal to you, pass on "Unfaithful" and rent "Red Shoe Diaries" (the pilot for a 1992 Showtime series with David Duchovny and Brigitte Bako) which connects with its characters on a visceral level and is dead sexy to boot.

 deseretnews.com - Movie review: Unfaithful | Deseret Morning News Web edition
For example, he appears to be concentrating so much on staging the elaborate sex scenes that he fails to notice how far this train wreck has gone off the rails.
As for Gere, he is an interesting choice to play a cuckolded husband, but he's not entirely convincing in that role, or as a devoted father.
"Unfaithful" is rated R for scenes of sexual contact, simulated sex, full female nudity, scattered use of strong sex-related profanity, gore and a brief scene of violence (a bludgeoning).

 Unfaithful - movie review
UNFAITHFUL is the latest movie to be directed by Adrian Lyne, who also brought FATAL ATTRACTION to the screens 15 years ago, which had wives worried and suspicious of their husbands' fidelity and husbands treading carefully before having a one night stand.
UNFAITHFUL comes from the completely opposite perspective with husband Edward Sumner (Richard Gere) instinctively sensing his wife Connie (Diane Lane) is having an affair.
Unfortunately, no. The movie is fairly slow paced to say the least with so many exciting tangents and possibilities that could have been followed but instead were only touched upon briefly and not explored further, which would have given a far more exciting ending.

 Unfaithful
Lyne masterfully uses foreshadowing and suggestive symbolism in "Unfaithful." The windswept, swirling papers and debris of the fateful meeting are present again in a city dump drop off, as well as being suggested by the snow globes Connie collects.
"Unfaithful" is a complex adult drama, stylishly told, that may finally catapult Lane onto the A list.
"Unfaithful" may attract a predominantly female audience but is well done and makes a good date flick for more mature young adults and beyond.

 Movie Review | Unfaithful (2002) Diane Lane, Richard Gere
The movie makes very few attempts to convince us that Diane Lane's Connie needs the affair; the truth is she doesn't.
Much like the wronged husband in the South Korean Affair Gone Bad movie "Happy End" (which, incidentally, also broadcasted its "twist" with its movie poster), Edward has our sympathies until the very moment he makes a fateful decision to deal with his perpetrators in a most brutal fashion.
Lane's Connie is not a victim to anything but her own indiscretion; she has everything a woman could want, but the opportunity to indulge in an affair trumps everything.

 Unfaithful
Diane Lane shines in the role, but the movie adds nothing new to the genre and the resolution is unsatisfying.
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.
Though it is difficult to take Unfaithful as seriously as it takes itself, on its own terms it's quite well done.

 Rolling Stone : Unfaithful : Review
Her slow-burning, fiercely erotic performance charges the movie, which is a sordid, silky wallow in guilty sex - and I mean that as a compliment.
If Unfaithful seems less shallow than Lyne's Indecent Proposal, it's because the story is loosely based on Claude Chabrol's memorably wicked La Femme Infidele, in which a husband's revenge on his wife's lover revitalizes his marriage.
Unfaithful isn't anything new - Lyne's fear of female sexuality is as disquieting as ever - but this seductive tease of a thriller gets the job done.

 Unfaithful | movies : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
''Unfaithful'' is the sort of movie that is generally described as ''steamy,'' which is shorthand for Love Scenes Shot in Cliché Erotic Style of Spice Channel.
A loose remake of the 1969 Claude Chabrol film ''La Femme Infidèle,'' this is hardly a movie that's going to be confused with art, but not since the underrated ''What Lies Beneath'' has a domestic thriller been made with so much sultry juice and power.
''Unfaithful'' takes off from an observation that, in its simple way, is quite daring: It says that the deep, rich comforts of family life aren't always enough to keep even a contented person from straying.

 Unfaithful at DVDwolf.com
The nice thing about the trailer for this film is that so far they have only presented the first third of the story...let's hope, as far as the thriller aspect goes they leave it at that without ruining it for the audience.
Unfaithful is though, without much argument I can assume from most, one of Lyne's better films.
Unfaithful has a few moment where you are pretty much pummelled with obviousness though there are other moments, mostly due to Diane Lane, that are done with no words, through only actions, through a look of the eyes, a brush of hands etc. that really make some of the scenes work.

 Unfaithful review
Unfaithful is loosely based on Claude Chabrol's La Femme Infidèle.
Perhaps as a wink to its French roots, French actor Olivier Martinez was cast as Paul Martel, the object of Diane Lane's affections.
Though Unfaithful treats the audience with a few forbidden fruits that recall the heydey of 9 1/2 Weeks, the rest is too hard to swallow.

 Unfaithful Movie Review
UNFAITHFUL, by director Adrian Lyne (FATAL ATTRACTION), tells the story of a middle age housewife named Connie Sumner (Diane Lane), who, one very windy day in New York, bumps into an irresistible French hunk.
In addition to being too long and predictable, the movie's chief problems are that it's never quite convincing enough to rise to the level of a cautionary tale, and the sex, with one major exception, is too choreographed for the film to qualify as a guilty pleasure.
The overall effect of the movie on you isn't likely to be sexual titillation or fear of infidelity.

 Christopher Smith : Week in Rewind.com Unfaithful Movie Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
"Unfaithful," the latest cautionary tale about marital infidelity from Adrian Lyne, is fascinating for all sorts of reasons, not the least of which is its white-hot trashiness, which liberates the film to become the guiltiest of pleasures--a pure, unadulterated melodrama about adultery--while also rendering large chunks of it an unintended comedy.
Since the film is from Lyne, whose previous forays into the bedroom include "9 1/2 Weeks," "Indecent Proposal" and "Fatal Attraction," "Unfaithful" unleashes the passion between Connie and Peter with all the subltly of soft-core porn.
Lane, who’s been acting for 30 years, becomes so unhinged in "Unfaithful," you half expect her heart to give out midway through.

 'Unfaithful' stays true to the sexy, subtle anatomy of an affair   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
What a wonderfully unlikely little movie is "Unfaithful" -- especially to come at this overheated time of the Hollywood year.
Her straying-wife character is very close to her role in 1999's "A Walk on the Moon," and yet she plays it with infinitely more depth and appeal, at turns willful, guilt-ridden, dowdy, radiant, highly maternal and very, very sexy.
After two decades in the movies, and at age 37, she simply clicks in this movie as an actress and a movie star in a way she never has before, and it's a joy to behold.

 Unfaithful
If there is anything more repulsive than an outright misogynistic movie, it is a movie like Unfaithful that sleazes and objectifies a woman's sexuality while at the same time punishing the said woman for daring to be sexual.
In a movie where the director and scriptwriter insist on painting her as the scarlet whore, she is fighting against the tide.
In fact, if I haven't watched enough of this man's movies to know what a sex god - albeit a short sex god - he is, I would've wondered what the heck is Connie thinking to even come within a mile of a greaseball like Paul.

It is 124 minutes long thriller of the perfect marriage, a chance encounter with a stranger, that leads to a steamy full blown affair, desire and obsession and the ultimate betrayal and the toll it takes on all parties.
What I love about the movie "Unfaithful" is the showing of the "Consecquences" of a married woman who meets a young guy and doesn't resist the temptation of having an affair with him.
I bought the movie to help better understand why I was cheated on by my wife that I too "Thought" was "In Love" with me as I was with her.

 Frank's Reel Movie Reviews -Unfaithful
I decided to write this review because I don't know what to make of this movie, and I believe that writing or talking about something can occasionally help one discover his/her thoughts as well as express them.
This film is similar to In the Bedroom because it deals with upper class people caught in a mess due to sex and revenge, and it exudes a strong sense of place.
Even though In the Bedroom was better, Unfaithful doesn't fall into the Hollywood trap of promoting the stereotype that all rich people are bad, although it could.
