A movie about sexuality that really throbs with eroticism.

Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
Rotten

The movie is called Unfaithful, but it's actually extremely faithful -- to the adultery movie rulebook, anyway.

Bill Muller, Arizona Republic
Rotten

What's curious about Unfaithful is just how little it pops.

Manohla Dargis, L.A. Weekly
Rotten

A glossy, depthless melodrama.

Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture
Rotten

After the plot's big turning point, the movie loses its focus and can't decide whether it wants to be a melodrama or a crime thriller.

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
