| Spend Time With Adam |
| Written by Stan Robinson on Thursday, 20 August 2009 20:27 | |||
 You will want to spend time with Adam before the summer comes to a close. He’s arriving in your local theatre close to the end of the blockbuster season, and this Fox Searchlight release will be far from a box office biggie, but what is does deliver is a heartwarming romance and characters that you truly care about. In fact, Adam is by far the best film I have seen so far this year, and Hugh Dancy turns in the most powerful performance since the beginning of 2009, with his co-star Rose Byrne coming in a close second. Writer/ director Max Mayer won the Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize at Sundance and was nominated at the same festival for the Grand Jury Prize. What makes this character study so unique, is that the main character has Asperger syndrome, which is a mild form of Autism. Those with Asperger often times have trouble interacting socially, may find themselves fascinated by repetitive interests and behavior. Unlike other forms of Autism, those with Asperger’s can function and comminute normally. Adam (Dancy) has Asperger’s and is content living a quiet life, left alone in his apartment after the passing of his father. Adam is a toy manufacturer and works on intricate chips that make to speak and react to human voices. His life changes when a beautiful young woman named Beth (Byrne) moves into his building. As their relationship blossoms, Adam must learn to interact and Beth struggles with his differences. I suggest you spend some time and get to know Adam and immerse yourself in his world. You’ll be glad you did.
