Federico who moves in with Riki ... only to realize that his brother's butt has had more visitors than the Catholic Church on Easter Sunday. Full Review |
||
 |
Writer/director/actor Filiberti, like his film, is highly watchable. He happens to be extremely photogenic and comfortable at whatever he is performing, even if it's only a dance in a male strip club. Full Review |

This clumsy, self-indulgent film veers from comedy to tragedy and is told in flashbacks, with treacly diary entries and unconvincing 'testimonies' from friends providing a window into the past. Full Review |
||
|
Offers a few surprisingly sweet moments but never overcomes the narcissism it's ostensibly deconstructing. Full Review |
|||
|
0/4 |
There is little for an American audience to adore about the film's star- writer-director Marco Filiberti, a breathtakingly self-idolatrous artist who makes Roberto Benigni look like an avatar of humility. Full Review |

2/5 |
There are enough scenes here to make even the most jaded viewer squirm. Full Review |
||
|
1/4 |
Not only is Adored amateurish and mawkish even by the standards of American 'gaysploitation' cinema, it's weirdly shy about showing nudity and sex. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
A vanity project so preposterous it deserves to become an instant camp hit. Full Review |

An unfortunate exercise in ego run amok, coupled with inexperience and ineptitude. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
Judging by Adored, the Italian singer, actor and filmmaker Marco Filiberti has the healthiest ego in Europe, if not the known universe. Full Review |
||
|
|
The film's witlessness keeps any satirical potential submerged well below soap opera levels. Full Review |
||
|
1/4 |
The story plays more like a young man's passing daydream of offbeat glory than a drama with realistic bite. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/4 |
Drips with that element that has turned countless gay films into dour endurance tests: navel-gazing self-pity. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
[Marco Filiberti] has lots on his mind and much in his heart, and as a filmmaker displays a Douglas Sirkian flair for finding substance in melodrama. Full Review |
||
|
|
This feeble comedy-tragedy has Sirkian aspirations but never misses an opportunity to settle for being flesh-friendly gay-film-festival fodder. Full Review |
