A bitterweet romantic-comedy from rooke writer/director Max Mayer. Soon after moving in, broken-hearted Beth (Rose Byrne, Marie Antoinette, Knowing), a brainy, beautiful writer, encounters Adam (Hugh Dancy, Confessions of a Shopaholic), an autistic fellow living in the downstairs apartment whose awkwardness is perplexing. 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.

"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."

The New York Times
The New York Times"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."
—
Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"Sincere, if slightly bland."
—
New Zealand Herald
New Zealand Herald"Subtlety and nuance mark both the film's dialogue and performances. It's hard to see how Dancy and Byrne could be any better."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"A sensitive but not sentimental story about a romance involving a mentally challenged young man never makes a misstep."
—
Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"A very superficial look at what it may be like trying to romance someone on the autistic scale."
