Critic Reviews
Subtlety and nuance mark both the film's dialogue and performances. It's hard to see how Dancy and Byrne could be any better.Read the full review
It's the speed of love, not the speed of light, that occupies Adam, a small, sweet movie about one man's widening cosmos.Read the full review
The tendency for an actor in a role like this is to overact. The result is often disastrous, reducing a character into a caricature. Hugh Dancy, adopting an American accent as effectively as the mannerisms of someone on the moderate portion of the Asperger's spectrum, makes Adam believable and generally sympathetic.Read the full review
