Adam

Hugh Dancy, Rose Byrne

Sweetly done film about the love affair between a young man with pretty severe asberger's and his upstairs neighbor. Vaguely reminiscent of other such films...Niagara, Niagara, Benny and Joon...this worked for me because of the fine performance by Dancy. He was thoroughly believable and his disorder wasn't sugar-coated. He really did come across as an overgrown child...not very good boyfriend/husband material.

The resolution was realistic, perhaps a bit open-ended and gave a satisfying end to the story.
