SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

arthur_tafero This film should have been titled The Sterile Cuckoo, but that title had already been taken by another film. Atom Egoyan tries to get away from the mundane life of an insurance adjuster by adding kinky to the film every ten minutes or so. The formula falls short. It is different; and the kinky scenes are interesting, but not interesting or explored enough to alleviate the boredom of the basic plot. I enjoyed the scenes of the only professional actor in the film, Maury Chaykin (Dances With Wolves), as a very convincing pervert. However, the rest of the acting crew was strictly local theater troupe level. Not really recommended.

besherat I watched it right now. As always, Atom Egoyan has found a new topic and, as always,he gave us his specific approach to the theme. The way how camera is driven throughout the movie, gives a constant atmosphere of tension, enhanced by slow-motion frames in the movie. Interesting film, otherwise I adore all his films, so it's no wonder I proclaim it as good.

AnnaGraham This film gave me the creeps. I guess some people like that in a film, and of course that is their prerogative. Sometimes a creepy film will have enough intrigue in other ways to keep my interest and appreciation, but this was not the case with the Adjuster. I almost turned it off because it was making me dread what would happen next. The music made me nervous and I found the characters' neuroses neither amusing nor interesting. In fact, I thought the characters were quite flat in spite of their quirks.

kergillian The one thing I can always count on from Atom Egoyan is an interesting film. This is a brilliant, and very dark, comedy with a sensationally twisted plot, fabulous cast, and great cinematography. Egoyan's use of light is excellent, as is the wonderful setting and scenery. This film is so imaginative that it's beyond a story told on the screen...visual poetry. And the frightening thing is that as good as this film is, it's not even his best effort. The pace was a bit slow at times, and at times the plot seemed to stagger a bit. His film-making was much sharper in Exotica, which is my personal favourite. But the plot is so well devised (odd and twisted, and full of intricate details that are hard to really absorb the first time through) that it makes up for any lack of quality. Elias Koteas is really good in this; his best role save perhaps Fallen, and he outshines Arsinee Khanjian who didn't quite feel up to par. My favourite role in the film, however, was a fabulous performance by Maury Chaykin as an unbalanced former football player. The gasoline scene is the best in the film, and Chaykin's expression and lines are priceless. As well, look for Don McKellar's excellent, though unfortunately small role, as Tyler (the rookie censor). He's absolutely hilarious, and his delivery of dialogue is nothing short of brilliant. All i all, it's not Egoyan's best effort, which means it still stands above most films. A really good quality indie-film, with a *very* original plot, quirky and memorable characters, and a strong cast. An easy 8/10.
