Review of Adam

Adam (I) (2009)
6/10
Alright, nothing remarkable
26 April 2010
I think this could have been a better movie if it gave more reasons why the audience should sympathize with Adam besides him having Asperger's Syndrome symptoms. He is a likable character at the beginning but I just started to lose sympathy for the guy and he started to become a bit irritating. The movie is also slow at times without explaining much, like the building of the relationship between Adam and Beth and why Beth start to make compromises for Adam who goes around doing some creepy stuff. Which makes me question her attraction to Adam, cause even in the beginning scene he acts really awkward with her, without her knowing about his Asperger's Syndrome. The most positive thing I can say about this movie is the ending, which sort of makes you guessing and without that ending the movie would have been below average. It's a tender film, but nothing remarkable. On a positive note, I guess I gained some knowledge on Asperger's Syndrome and the effects of it until watching this.

6.2/10
