When objects start to go missing from her home, Sophie Hartley (Susan Sarandon) suspects that a stalker is responsible. Then she meets Mara (Emily Blunt), the new co-worker of her husband, Craig (Sam Neill), and after seeing her in a dress that was among the vanished items, Sophie believes that Mara is obsessed with her. Unfortunately, she takes her suspicions too far, which leads to legal ramifications and her husband becoming concerned for her well-being -- but also to a startling discovery.

Writer-director Ann Turner sets the plotwheels clanking along in traditional manner without a hint of subtlety. Go to Full Review
Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) 05/13/2020
The scenes of physical suspense are crudely handled, and the story essentially stalls for 90 minutes in its first act. Go to Full Review
Russell Edwards Variety 05/13/2020
Pic flirts with Hitchcockian touches, but inappropriate application of techniques fails narrative's specific needs. Go to Full Review

The problem is the story and direction. Basically, the way the story is told. It plays upon stereotypes and has a twist you can see coming from a mile away. And oh, that ending. Go to Full Review
Caffeinated Clint Moviehole 05/13/2020
For all intents and purposes, "Irresistible" is a bad film in good film's clothing - looks appealing on the outside but on the inside its as hollow as an Easter egg. Go to Full Review
Jason Di Rosso ABC News (Australia) 05/13/2020
Writer-director Ann Turner has dealt with similar themes of fear, paranoia and seduction before, but Irresistible is her first tilt at a Hollywood-style genre film. It's an interesting try and the performances are good, but the suspense sags. Go to Full Review

Matthew C Jan 7 Very average thriller filmed in melbourne, Sam Neill, Susan Sarandon and Emily Blunt have all done better films than this, not something I would watch again, a very disappointing australian film. See more Luke S @LS253 07/25/2022 Difficult to see any reason why any of this cast would take this on. So ridiculous it's painful. See more 04/13/2021 Really, do we need another one of the forgotten child seeks revenge films? Why do characters in Hollywood films always have to be non-sensical nut jobs. There was absolutely nothing unique or interesting about this film. It was more annoying than anything else with its missing-things mystery trope that leads to a ridiculously impossible end. And the court scene, a nonsensical shift in plot that makes little sense other than to push the plot along, and don't get me going on the foolishness of the ending. Avoid this waste of time at all costs. They should pay people to see this movie. See more 05/19/2020 )))))))))))))))))))) See more 08/08/2019 I enjoyed it, Emily Blunt, Susan Sarandon, Sam Neill are great. See more 07/09/2015 I was pleasantly surprised with this movie. I watched the trailer and then turned on the movie not expecting too much, but it was actually not bad at all. Without giving away too much, this movie is all about a woman who suspects her husbands new co-worker of stalking her family and playing these awful mean tricks on her. Of course, the movie did start off cheesy, and it often seemed unrealistic, but as it progressed I was actually quite impressed with some of the plot twists and the development of the mystery. The acting is what probably keeps this movie from being about 2 stars. If it had been any other actors I may not have believed the movie at all, but Susan Sarandon is very convincing in her role, and keeps the movie watchable. See more Read all reviews
