Adam is the story of a woman looking for truth in her life, and of a man who can be nothing but honest. Adam, played by Hugh Dancy, is a young man with Asperger’s Syndrome. Just as his father dies, a young woman, played by Rose Byrne, moves into his apartment building. Her unabashed, sincere, friendliness gets past his shy, anti-social awkwardness and by the time she realizes how deep his social limitations are, a friendship has already been formed. Her interest and curiosity encourages her to learn more about this syndrome. And as their relationship grows, she takes on the task of helping Adam get a new job and achieve more independence.
As Beth’s own life begins to unravel, Adam’s honesty becomes even more precious to her until the truth becomes too painful to bear. This is a beautiful love story, brilliantly acted, wonderfully detailed, and genuinely heartfelt. It is unsentimental in delivery and is never maudlin. It is a very moving film totally worth seeing.
Rating: Must See An unconventional love, beautifully acted
About Me
- Melanie Wilson
- My Reviewer's Philosophy: I believe that every film has its audience. One man’s Citizen Kane is another man’s Texas Chain Saw Massacre. My purpose is to help you spend your entertainment dollars wisely. A bad review never kept me from going to a film I wanted to see, but a good review will sometimes get me to a film I never considered. As a movie lover I want you to go to the movies. When more people go to the movies, the more movies get made. But, I also believe that if you enjoy the films you see, you naturally will be inclined to go more often. So join me in supporting our film industry by going to a movie today. Hopefully I can steer you towards a good one. See you at the movies. Melanie Wilson
