The plot of Adoration is intertwined with the difference between the appearance and reality of events, as well as the increasingly alienated communication between modern people, which is increasingly accomplished through modern high-tech media, especially computers. Atom Egoyan has written, directed, and produced the film, continuing his own "Made by Egoyan series". The finished film isn't as engaging as it was supposed to be, but the multi-clue structure shows the director's skill, and while it doesn't end up with the onion-peeling narrative effect, it nonetheless establishes a distinct style

"Adoration" has Atom Egoyan's idiosyncratic style—the camera's flowing pace, rich sound processing, and little dialogue, and he once again jumps gracefully through a storyline. The biggest problem with the film is the literary technique: the erratic narrative does not benefit the film. And the film does not further explain the complex relationship between the characters. In retrospect, the director may be shifting in a positive direction, but he needs a proper script to make that shift
