In Australia, the artist Sophie (Susan Sarandon) has a happy marriage with her husband and designer Craig (Sam Neil) and they have two beautiful daughters, Elly and Ruby. Sophie is traumatized by the death of her mother, and under pressure to finish a work paid in advance in a tight schedule. Craig lost his keys and after meeting her husband's colleague Mara (Emily Blunt) in a party at her house, Sophie feels weird things happening at her own house, such as an attack of wasps, disappearance of her favorite dress, photos and toys, and she suspects that Mara is trying to get her husband and daughters for her. Sophie becomes paranoid and obsessed with this idea, and nobody believes on her. Craig actually believes Sophie is driving insane, and she stalks Mara, trying to prove she is right, disclosing deep secrets about Mara and her.
"Irresistible" is a dramatic thriller, sort of "Fatal Attraction" with two final twists. The story is good and it is amazing the number of viewers that has not understood the final twist. Susan Sarandon and Sam Neil are great actress and actor, but they are too old for their roles as parents of young daughters. Even Susan Sarandon (60) is too old to play the mother of Mara, the character of Emily Blunt (23), since she was supposed to be eighteen years older than her daughter. My recommendation is to pay attention on the story, especially on the last twist, and you will certainly enjoy this above average low-budget movie. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Identidade Roubada" ("Stolen Identity")
