People revisit Adoration for the same reason it broke through in 2013: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a drama rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Anne Fontaine keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The film leans hard into its core genre, which is exactly what fans say they wanted more of from blockbusters in that era.
