Romance can be risky, perplexing and filled with the perils of miscommunication - and that's if you aren't Adam, for whom life itself is this way. In this heartfelt romantic comedy, Hugh Dancy stars as Adam, a handsome but intriguing young man who has all his life led a sheltered existence - until he meets his new neighbor Beth, a beautiful, cosmopolitan young woman who pulls him into the outside world, with funny, touching and entirely unexpected results. Their implausible and enigmatic relationship reveals just how far two people from different realities can stretch in search of an extraordinary connection.

Critics Consensus: Hugh Dancy's elegant performance as a man with Asperger's Syndrome elevates Adam, an offbeat but touching romantic comedy.

Reviews

Deep Focus Review

Brian Eggert

One of the best performances of 2009 is unfortunately contained within a movie that doesn’t live up to the acting.

A non-autistic viewer ostensibly is meant... to come away from the film with a vague sense of "betterment."As an autistic viewer... I am left only with a renewed understanding that I am constructed, by a discursive web of popular media and pop-psychology.

It's easy to understand why Fox Searchlight was interested in this light, quirky little love story with a good heart and gentle spirit.

Hugh Dancy and Rose Byme share a quirky chemistry reminiscent of the early sketch-humor of Mike Nichols and Elaine May.
