Critics Consensus

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

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.

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.

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

Good movie that gets a bit silly. Still, worth a watch. The sliding doors moment is always a good scene.

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
