Critics Consensus

Diane Lane shines in the role, but the movie adds nothing new to the genre and the resolution is unsatisfying.

A movie about sexuality that really throbs with eroticism.

The movie is called Unfaithful, but it's actually extremely faithful -- to the adultery movie rulebook, anyway.

It heads off in some interesting -- and not always expected -- directions.

3.5/4

A dark, delusional piece of sultry fantasia that doesn’t condemn or condone Connie or Ed’s choices. It simply presents people surprised by the ease with which they transgress and allow little white lies to fester into gigantic, tumorous deceptions.

Diane Lane anchors the movie: she plays real and she looks real, with just enough lines and hints of wrinkles; a beautiful woman who's been distracted by too many school runs and charity committees.

Gut wrenching movie about the drastic results of sin. Seen it twice and both times I can feel the agony of the two characters. Both living with the guilt and shame sitting in the idling car wondering what they should do. Heartbreaking seeing the innocent son something of a victim of his parents fall.

Promising trailer just faded into a strange and at times far fetched story. There was just something missing.

Diane Lane carries this crime thriller with her realistic portrayal of a cheating wife. She looked the part and acted the part, making it impossible not to get lost in her world. The film offers a new take on the unfaithful spouse storyline by showing that infidelity isn’t always a result of neglect or unhappiness. Such thought-provoking themes, coupled with great acting, make Unfaithful worth watching albeit forgettable.

Works precisely because it is so upsetting, unusually so for a studio film, and so empathetic for Connie at the hands of her attractive manipulator.
