Adam
A bitterweet romantic-comedy from rooke writer/director Max Mayer.

As Beth pulls Adam into the outside world, their tricky relationship reveals just how far two people from different realities can stretch in search of an extraordinary connection.

Chicago Sun Times (Roger Ebert)
Adam wraps up their story in too tidy a package, insisting on finding the upbeat in the murky, and missing the chance to be more thoughtful about this challenging situation.

A very superficial look at what it may be like trying to romance someone on the autistic scale.

Hollywood Reporter
A sensitive but not sentimental story about a romance involving a mentally challenged young man never makes a misstep.

Subtlety and nuance mark both the film's dialogue and performances. It's hard to see how Dancy and Byrne could be any better.

Sincere, if slightly bland.

Variety (USA)
Emotionally potent performances, gently offbeat humor and writer-helmer Max Mayer's assured touch guide this tender New York love story to a quietly hopeful conclusion.
