We threw a movie in the Netflix que and few days ago and decided to watch it. The storyline was fairly odd and sort of "weird".
It's got a couple of bigger names in it, Naomi Watts and Robin Wright. I figured I'd overlook the sort of skeevy description of it.
It's called "Adore." It's about a pair of lifelong friends growing up Australia. It show them in the present as middle aged mothers each with teenage sons. The basic idea behind the story is that each son ends up "falling" for the others mother.
I think it is is ludicrous on the surface and the execution of the movie makes you do this at several points in the film, but whatever, we still watched it.
I just couldn't buy that mothers would share each others sons and appear to be fine with it, without going into all other finer points of why the story is silly, Mothers just don't generally act that way.
Read the plot summary below for a little more detail.
The situation seems almost incestuous, though it isn't technically. I'm not even anyone's biological mom and it skeeves me out. I had a co-worker who's son wanted to ask me at, and she was totally fine with. Even that bothered me.

Movie plot lines often follow whatever's in fashion. So the last 10 years or so there's been so much attention to the "cougar" and MILF themes, someone made a movie to cash in on that interest.
That's all it means, imo. Yeah, of course some of those stories are ridiculous. The films are made in a blatant attempt to make money off a fad.

Australia used to make some weird films, intended to shock, especially on racial themes. This one seems like an intentional shocker, too.
Interesting.
Naomi Watts has executive producer credits on the film. I wonder if this is trying to be one of those David Lynch types where there are multiple nuances going on, more subtext to it... IDK.... the obvious part of the story line was odd....
