Adam (DVD)

Adam (2009) starring Rose Byrne, Hugh Dancy, Peter Gallagher, Amy Irving. Adam (Dancy), who suffers from Asperger's syndrome, meets Beth (Byrne), a school teacher. While their relationship is slowly building, Adam runs into financial problems in the wake of his father's death and the loss of his job. Meanwhile, Beth's father (Gallagher) is an accountant who has been indicted for some alleged wrongdoing. In the process of working out these kinks in their lives, Adam and Beth work on the kinks in their relationship. The movie doesn't have a Hollywood-happy ending, but that is to its credit. The subtitles are excellent. Grade: B+
