Naomi Watts and Robin Wrights dared to star in an erotic drama entitled Adoration which tackles a very sensitive topic on motherloving.

Adoration is an Australian/French co-produced film. The film was entirely shot in New South Wales in 2012 and had already earned international recognition in the prestigious Sundance and Cannes Festival.

The film also cast two Aussie actors namely Ben Mendelsohn and Sophie Lowe.

Spoiler Alert!!!

The story opens as best friends since childhood days Lil (Naomi Watts) and Roz (Robin Wright) was spending a windy but humid day along the sand of a pristine beach. In their sultry swimwear, the two women watch each other's teenage son while they were surfing.

Lil asked "did we do that?" which subtext could mean did they "do" boys with bodies as beautiful as her best friends' son's body?

The real story unfolds when Roz had a passionate one-night stand with Lil's son Ian (Xavier Samuel). Roz's son and Ian's best friend Tom (James Frecheville) found out about the one night thing and told Lil about the rendezvous. Consequently, Tom took revenge against his mother and his best friend through having a revenge affair with Lil.

In an interview with News Limited in April, Xavier Samuel talked about the much awaited erotic drama, "the theme of the story is so epic - love and betrayal and all those things."

Naomi Watts on the other hand, told The Hollywood Reporter that the film Adoration is "a complicated story and not conventional at all, but very real and intense... the relationship between the two women, it's so rare that you get a story that celebrates women in such a powerful way. Yes, there is sex in the movie, but it's not about that. It's a symptom of what's going on."

The film was directed by French Director Anne Fontaine from a screenplay by Oscar-winner Christopher Hampton.

The screenplay for the film was adapted from the Nobel Prize winning writer Doris Lessing's novel entitled, The Grandmothers. Originally, the story is about two close friends, both married; fell in love with each other's teenage sons with the romantic relationship lasting for years until the two women reached a mature age. The women then decided to end the affairs with a promise that they want to have a respectable life in their old age.

Damon Wise of UK Guardian review of the film goes, "If Adoration were about two father, it would be the shock film of the Sundance Festival, if it could have ever been made at all. Anne Fontaine's study of two still very attractive women trying to fight back against the incoming tide of time id an incredibly provocative piece of work, featuring a brave and vulnerable performance by Naomi Watts and a career-high acting master-class from Robin Wright.

The setting is ridiculously Eden-like private idyll, where our heroines run art spaces and yachting companies, but what Adoration rather beautifully manages to do is to tune all that out, focusing on a very heightened emotional situation.

Though made in English... this is really a European art movie made by a French director whose forte is allegory. It may be divisive, but Adoration is a very rare exploration of the female psyche."
