Amazon.co.uk Review
Although the premise of infidelity and its devastating consequences on all involved may not be a new one, Unfaithful still manages to emerge as a stylish, involving thriller. Based on an obscure 1970s French offering, director Adrian Lynne's version is pure Hollywood, from its casting of Richard Gere and Diane Lane in the lead roles, to its graceful visual style and even its somewhat unsatisfactory denouement. It's impossible not to watch the film without thinking of Lynne's own Fatal Attraction, although here the gender roles have been reversed to focus on the affair between bored suburban housewife Connie and exotic French book dealer Paul. The obsessive relationship between the two provides the film with its only real frisson. Gere is given very little to work with as the dull cuckolded husband Edward and delivers even less. The film moves rather slowly towards its key plot twist which never really lives up to its promise.

On the DVD: Unfaithful may be lacking a little as a film, but this DVD is an impressive package. The film has a rich visual element and the digital picture quality brings out the best in Adrian Lynne's unique eye for detail. The reams of extras include commentaries from director Lynne and the cast, a well put together documentary, interviews, features, deleted scenes and a (superior) alternative ending. Lynne is always good interview value, coming across as a slightly less eccentric Ken Russell, and Lane and Olivier Martinez are both engaging and charismatic. A shame, then, that the movie itself isn't quite so impressive. --Phil Udell

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant and disturbing, 30 April 2003
By Earl Hazell (New York) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
UNFAITHFUL is a movie that needs to be seen for a person to understand how it towers above and achieves everything that the four I just mentioned tried to do (or should have). The best double feature I could think of would be pairing this with AMERICAN BEAUTY; UNFAITHFUL could easily be seen as a sublime lesson in what the suburbs can do to the soul, and how it as such can be more dangerous to the soul than the ghetto's crime rate can be to the body and mind. *Boredom* seems to be the only motivating force leading to the eventual destruction of their entire lives in this movie--a woman's boredom. And yet what makes this film so powerful (other than, again, the triple-Oscar winning performance of Diane Lane) is the fact that it is so well written and masterfuly directed--not to mention achieves ensemble with its supporting cast of men and women--that a clear cut motivation really does not exist. Glen Close was just crazy; Michael Douglas was just selfish; Jeremy Irons was just strung up too tight and a profoundly manipulative woman snapped him; Wesley Snipes (according to Spike) just had to have some White-ness; Thandie Newton was heartbroken...everyone had a clear cut motivation for their actions (otherwise known as the megaphone for the director in question's ideas about life [or the marketplace]), except Diane Lane in UNFAITHFUL. And that is what will really disturb you to the point of needing to take a couple days out and digest the lesson on human nature you have been given by the time the credits role.

If you are a Richard Gere fan, you will be surprised over the fact that, as good an actor as he is and can be, he triumphs in this movie almost purely by staying out of Dianel Lane's artistic way! He deserves a *most generous supporting actor* Oscar. My girlfriend's life was changed by what she saw in this movie (it deeply frightened and overwhelmed her); and I think mine was too. If you are in love or married, see this movie at your own risk. But see it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Diane Lane in a remarkable performance, 16 Nov 2003
By Kona (Emerald City) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
"Unfaithful," a sensual and somber drama about infidelity, stars Diane Lane and Richard Gere as a married couple headed for tragedy. Connie (Lane) and Edward (Gere) are successful suburbanites with a seemingly happy marriage, until Connie meets an attractive younger man and begins an affair. Edward wonders what's going on, hires a private detective, and gets the answer he suspected all along.

Diane Lane's character is the focus of the film. Lane is memorable as the guilt-ridden wife who is obsessed with her lover. She is lovely, mature, and honest in her portrayal. Gere is almost a supporting actor here, but he is wonderful playing an average guy. The usually stunning Gere actually has a few moments where he looks frumpy, with his glasses, slouched posture, and extra pounds. Olivier Martinez plays Lane's paramour. His character was fairly one-dimensional and could have been developed further, but he was very good in the role.

I had to watch Unfaithful twice to decide if I liked it or not (I do.). The first time, I thought it was relatively dull because of its relentlessly low-key presentation ad leisurely pace. However, on the second viewing, I found it a real winner. There are long periods without dialogue, where the camera focuses on facial nuances. The silence gives one a chance to appreciate the fine acting. The photography is excellent, from wide shots of dirty urban streets to warm glimpses of home, with child and dog. Lane did have chronically messy hair and she tugged at it endlessly, but I suppose this was to emphasize her nervous energy. The musical score was lovely; lilting and romantic.

Diane Lane certainly deserved her nomination for Best Actress; all the actors were outstanding. I recommend Unfaithful to those who looking for a thoughtful story that examines the effect of an affair on a husband and wife; it is erotic and tender, with some surprises and an provocative ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars Diane Lane deserves her Oscar nom in this superb drama, 15 April 2003
By A Customer
Wow, I knew Diane Lane could act, but this movie really sealed it for me. She MADE this movie. "Unfaithful" is a really well-done movie about a suburban housewife who finds herself having an affair with a younger man. This action has a devastating reaction that will reverberate forever. Although the theme is really nothing new, Lane's superb acting truly conveys her character's mixed emotions - embarrassment, excitement, shame, giddiness. The gamut of emotions that runs across her face on her subway ride home after her first tryst with her lover pretty much tells the whole story of how this woman feels about what she's doing. It's an unforgettable scene and an unforgettable piece of acting that will be a classic. Without Lane, this movie would have been very, very good. With Lane, it was elevated to a whole new level. Diane Lane thoroughly deserved her Oscar nomination for this performance; she deserved to win it.
