We Interrupt this Scheduled Blog Pause...

To tell you that you must take the time to see Adam.

I'll confess I went to this film thinking it would be good, but mostly due to my crush on Hugh Dancy (sigh).
But Adam is a film with so much to offer. It's about a young man with Asperger's Syndrome - a mild form of autism, but the narrative is much more a deconstruction of communication, honesty, and deceit in human relationships. Though there are tear-jerker moments, the film avoids sappiness in favor of bitersweet truths.

Get thee to the movies!
