What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Nell Minow Common Sense Media Not for kids, but some adults will like it. Rated: 3/5 Dec 29, 2010 Full Review Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune A movie about sexuality that really throbs with eroticism. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 20, 2002 Full Review Bill Muller Arizona Republic The movie is called Unfaithful, but it's actually extremely faithful -- to the adultery movie rulebook, anyway. Jun 13, 2002 Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal 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. Rated: 3.5/4 Nov 8, 2023 Full Review Mark Steyn The Spectator 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. Jan 29, 2018 Full Review Brooke Corso The Monitor (McAllen, TX) A film at once romantic and sensual and agonizing. Aug 16, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

thiago s Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/19/25 Full Review Shaun R Good movie that gets a bit silly. Still, worth a watch. The sliding doors moment is always a good scene. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Adam Y Unfaithful is not so much about the conventions of a typical bored housewife falls for exotic foreigner with disastrous results story, but in fact plumbs the depths of what really constitutes intimacy, and how complacency, rather than the melodramatic ups Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/18/25 Full Review Hollis Q Great movie with an equally great twist Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/03/25 Full Review NANCY N I almost didn't watch this movie because of the poor reviewer reviews and the not so hot public reviews. But I'm glad I did. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Alex r A master class in seduction, an expert has written this script. The plot is give or take with you. If your here to enjoy a movie for its romantic or spicy scenes this movie will delivery above and beyond. If your here for the delima you will be served. If your here for the morality of an affair that's up to audience member to decide. The ending didn't work for me, and i took it at face value. Did i enjoy this movie yes, was the plot great not really. What it does well it does leaps and bounds above its weight class. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
